Summer movies

Ratatouille- Completely awesome. Might be the best animated movie I have ever seen. Leagues better than Pixars last movie, Cars. Everything about it was great. Fantastic story, great characters, fantastic animation with a soundtrack to match.

Transformers- It ruled. It’s a Michael Bay summer movie so you can pretty much guess what it was like. A somewhat sensible story, some goofy characters, dialog that ranges from good to corn ball, a stupid soundtrack and explosions that only American filmmakers can do. It sure had it’s problems, but the awesome far outweighed the bad. The cast was actually pretty damn good, Shia was terrific and Megan Fox is drop dead gorgeous. It’s all about the Transformers though. The CG work is second to none, ILM did some insane work. The animation from robot to car and back was just unbelievable, it really looked like 40 foot robots were really walking around and shit. It was long but whatever, I really liked it.

Next up: Potter up on the IMAX screen.
