109. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

          Taking a page from the George Lucas school of sequels comes Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Just like in Empire Strikes Back ROTF continues the story Sam Witwicky and his autobot friends in a darker, more evil storyline.
            This time the Decepticons are trying to find what is stored in Sam's brain and use that info to take over the world. But as in Empire this is really the movie that allows the bad guys to take front and center. You get that right from the beginning when our main hero Optimus Prime is defeated. As for Witwicky he is off to college to try and escape the transformers life. Even so that our beloved Bumblebee cant go to college with him.

NO! You stay home!

        In the twist of movie magic that only movie magic can provide Sam and friends end up in Egypt. In Egypt they are looking for an all powerful source that evident-ally was put here by autobots that were here years and years ago. Lying dormant. Of course this is a Michael Bay. There is lots of Explosions, lots of action, lots of humor mixed in with the action and explosions. Either you dig the Michael Bay experience or you dont. I enjoy it and personally can't wait for Transformers: Dark of the Moon especially since they got rid of Megan Fox, horrible actress.

Final Verdict: Worth owning.

20. Armageddon

Bruce Willis saves the world.

             Let me just say at the start of this blog that I love this movie. No really. It is one of my most favorite movies of all time. I remember seeing it in theater (despite the STRONG objection from a certain girl that we will just call Comer) and being absolutely mind blown by this movie. It’s Michael Bay at his finest--even better than Transformers.

                This movie has everything that I love. Humor, Actors I like (BW baby!), Action, explosions and tender moments.  Armageddon is an awesome movie.  It’s fun from beginning to end. In case you have been living on an asteroid for the past 12 years you need to know that this movie is simply about an Asteroid heading to earth. IF we can’t stop it then we are all done for.  What do we do?

Talk about the Wrong Stuff

                What we do is call Bruce Willis. Willis is Harry Stamper, the best deep oil driller on the face of the planet.  He and his rag tag group of guys are shuttled off to space to land on the asteroid, drill a hole into it, and blow the thing up from the inside. Far fetched, I know. But there are some times movies are meant to be out of this world.  Did I mention that his rag tag group of guys includes Owen Wilson, Ben Affleck, Steve Buscemi, Michael Clarke Duncan and the scene stealer of the entire movie Peter Stormare who plays the Russian astronaut Lev.  I can’t imagine anyone who hasn’t seen this movie but if you are one of those please do so. It’s Great! 

Final Verdict: A must own!!!
