Transmorphers: Fall of Man (2009)
Oh my gosh, The worst movie of all time, Transgarbage 2!
My gosh my gosh my gosh. SO bad, it makes Twilight seem perfect. (And I didn't "Hate" Twilight. I thought it was OK, but had many many flaws) I wanted to believe that it was even a little better then the utter atrocity that was the Transmorphers. I was slightly right, BUT THE BOTH SUCK! Hard. the acting is slightly better, but everyone still over acts or under acts! But everything else, a rip off of terminator, Transformers 1 and 2, and The Matrix! I mean, the ripped transformers right down to Megatron, and I swear they actually said Megatron.
Final word, the film sucked, they both suck, don't watch it, because you won't ever get you're 90 minutes back.
1 out of 10 stars, wish I could rate it lower.

Transmorphers (2007)
Seriously, Transmorphers? More like Transgarbage!
Seriously, Transmorphers? More like Transgarbage! I haven't seen a worse movie! (Not even Rob Zombie's Halloween, and I thought it was the worst movie of all time) This is so bad it even has fanboys saying that Michael Bay's Transformers ripped it off! Well, lets see, this film probably took about a week to make and Transformers probably took many years! I mean, I haven't seen ANY movie quite this bad! I mean, some movies are so bad that they're good! THIS IS SO BAD THAT IT'S BAD! It wasn't even funny, usually bad movies make me laugh, but this one, NO! I DIDN'T EVEN CRACK A SMILE! OK, so here's the story (Spoilers may appear): The human race has been taken over by giant "TRANSMORPHING" robots. Hmm, sounds like the Matrix and Transformers. And the humans have somehow survived for 800 years (HOW?!) and decided to revolt.
OK, so that's a rough draft of the plot. So let me say what's my thoughts. Well, ripped off story, bad acting, woah woah woah! What acting? It really made me think that the director was either asleep or off-set the whole time, I EVEN HEARD OFF-SCREEN ACTORS GIGGLING! They knew it would be bad.
Lets see here, bad special FX! I mean, this is low budget, but come on! THE ROBOTS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE MADE ON MS PAINT! Badly. I mean, MS Paint is good, but not to make animation for a live action movie! And lastly, story. My gosh, it is bad. I mean, it had potential, but when you have nearly NOTHING original, ripping off things like the Matrix, Transformers (Right down to one of the posters, I SWEAR I SAW OPTIMUS PRIME ON IT!), Star Wars, etc.
I couldn't even sit through an hour of this horrible piece of this hour and a half trash! Pros: They had a cast with potential, which was ruined by horrible acting! Cons: Bad acting Bad story Bad directing Bad writing Ripping off the best movie of 2007 and it's sequel ripping off the best movie of 2009.
OK, usually I can recommend a bad movie just so you can laugh at how bad it is, but this just fails so much that you shouldn't even watch the trailer! My rating is 1/10. Too bad I can't rate it lower.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Ignore all the "hate" this film gets, it's just IMDb Forum critic wannabes.
I went in knowing this would be just like the first, but better. There are many things I liked and only some I didn't.
As for story, it was MUCH more evenly paced than the first, and I actually liked the plot. IT INVOLVES THE MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP! YAY! Optimus and Sam dying were really jaw-droppers, in fact, I heard some people shout "NO!" in the theater. People were really struck when Sam died, they were like "WOAH!". I couldn't tell, but I think he was either stabbed or shot. Not to give away the ending, but I didn't feel it was anticlimactic.
As for characters, they were, again, much better. Wheelie was HILARIOUS and may have been the funniest there, although him saying "Fric*ing all the time got kinda old and probably added to the rating. Sam's roommate was funny, and his reaction when Mikaela landed on him after Jetfire warped them to Egypt was priceless! Speaking of Sam and Mikaela, their relationship was much more fleshed out in this one, and isn't like "Some nerd meets some hot girl and they fall in love". Many times Mikaela is about to brake up with Sam, and it really adds to the human subplot.
The pretender was great as well, they picked a really pretty girl to play her human form, and it really seemed to work. When that tentacle came out from under her dress, I was like "Um, this isn't good for Sam". In fact, she is what made all the "SEXUAL SITUATIONS".
Back to robots, the twins were better then people made the out to be. I liked how they spoke Gangsta and were always clumsy, the theater kept laughing at them. I'm not going to give much away about Devastator, but let me just say, him combining WAS AWESOME!
Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000)
It was great, it lost some of my respect, but it is still great.
I am 14 now, but since I was very young, I always enjoyed Thomas. I watched the original episodes direct from England which were narrated by Ringo Starr, and the names of characters were different.
(I.E. "Thomas get's Tricked" was originally, I believe "Thomas and Gorden", introducing the characters one by one, and "Sir-Topom-Hat" was originally "The Fate Controller") I loved it so much, and I kept getting the wooden train sets, and the video tapes. (Soon I got DVDs) Britt Alcroft (I believe it was her) did a great job producing the show, and even the new narrators have been good. (Well, the last good one was Alec Baldwin) When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I had got one of the tapes, and there was a teaser for this movie. It said "Rolling into theaters, July 2000". Of course I begged my parents to take me to see it, and well, my dad dropped me and my mom off at the movie theater, and what did I get? I great kids movie, which I would still watch from time to time, even though I am now 14.
First off, let's start off with the plot. Be it known, I WILL REVEAL SPOILERS!
While on the Island of Sodor, Thomas and his friends are challenged by Diesel 10, who says all steam engines are going to be scrap soon. While in (I guess America, maybe Britain) A girl named Lily goes to see her grandpa, Bernette Stone. (Who it seems implied was married to Tasha, a girl I'm pretty sure was a central character from "Shining time Station, which may have been a spin off, or Thomas was a spin off of it) She gets on the wrong train, and accidentally goes to Shining Time. When she finally gets to her Grandpa, she eventually finds out about an engine, named Lady, who was crashed by Diesel 10 and badly damaged. In the meantime, Mr. Conductor and his cousin try to stop Diesel 10 from finding the legendary Magic Railroad, while also trying to find the secret of "The Gold Dust" so he can return home.
OK, I won't reveal the ending, but let me tell you, for a Train Chase, it get's epic.
I pretty much liked about every aspect of this film, from the acting to the use of REAL trains, and less stop motion (Which was good for the show, but wouldn't have been for this movie, where humans interact) But here are the complaints.
I have found out why this is in the top 100 worst movies of all time. At the last minute, the whining, babyish, stupid American test audience forced the WHOLE script to be changed at the last minute. Britt Alcroft didn't want to, and if she did, the British audience would hate her, and if she didn't, the American audience would hate her. They said, that the use of a VERY SINISTER second villain, a human at that, would SCARE little kids.
Don't they watch Disney films? People are dying, being trampled by hoards of animals, having their fathers murdered, the Death of Bambie's mother in "Bambie". It didn't scar the children watching it, it gave them more hate for the bad guys, and more love for the protagonist. This villain, "PT BOOMER" really was the one who crashed lady. And to show his deletion at the last minute, in EVERY trailer, you can clearly see him in it. Half way or so, you see Burnett Stone standing next to a guy on a motorcycle. The guy rides off, like he was asking for directions. But in the original film, they were really fighting with each other about Lady's whereabouts.
All this change led to the destruction of Britt Alcroft's career, and the stupid Americans wouldn't just accept the original film. I really hope they decide to re release this either in the theater or on DVD, because I'd love to see the "REAL" movie.
All in all, this film was a big part of my childhood, and I give it a 10/10 rating, even though my respect was slightly lost because of me finding out about the alteration. I would have liked to see the original villain working beside Diesel 10.

The Book of Caleb (2008)
A great Independent film
I saw the film on Amazon. (Because of a fluke, It didn't stop the 2 minute "preview" after the first 2 minutes of the film. ) And I am watching it on Hulu now. It is a great film, and I must warn you, I WILL put major spoilers up.
Short Synopsis: A comfortable underachiever and serial prankster, in the midst of their quarter life crisis, reunite against childhood enemies in a contemporary suburban epic.
I'd say my favorite character is either Swank or Officer Scar. And speaking of Scar, I AM saying how he got his scar, and my thoughts on the otherwise described "EMBARRASSING" scene.
OK, so it is a rainy day, and Caleb, Montag, Swank, Scar, and some other kids are playing Basket Ball. Scar (Who's real name is, if I remember right, Jim) keeps winning, Montag gets mad, and tackles him. Scar fights back and repeatedly punches him. Caleb grabs a trashcan and throws it at Scar, who gets pushed into a fence, his face pressed so hard, and I guess the metal also being wet and cold, cuts his face. He swears he will have vengeance.
What did I think of that scene? Um, it was actually pretty sad if you watch it, because of the music, the most. But It didn't seem so embarrassing to me.
My final thoughts on the film? It was great!I can't really say I don't like anything about it. 10/10!
The X Files: I Want to Believe (2008)
A great suspense film
I don't get why everyone hates this film, I say, in some ways, it is better than the first.
WARNING! SPOILERS MAY APPEAR! READ AT OWN RISK!
Fox Mulder, bearded and living as a hermit, is approached by his former partner, Dana Scully, to help the F.B.I. find a missing agent. A pedophile priest, Father Joe, who claims to see visions of the agent, is helping the F.B.I. When Scully refuses to believe Father Joe, Mulder is left alone to solve the case, and feels like he is back working on The X Files.
At the same time, Scully is trying to treat a dying boy, who has a disease that can only be treated by stem-cells, "putting him through hell". After another woman is abducted, the F.B.I. must race against time to try to save the victims, while Scully must decide if she wants to believe.
I saw this film in the cinemas about two weeks after it came out, and I must say, it was great. But here are my thoughts on what people think, all the common complaints. "No aliens!", well, most of the series wasn't about aliens, it was about the paranormal, weird unexplained things. "Not scary, bad plot", Let me say, I watch bloody, gory horror films, and they don't scare me, but their were a couple of good moments when I jumped during this film. "No X Files theme", Well, the first one didn't have it.
Anyways, it was a great film, full of action and suspense, and I recommend it to ALL X Files fans. I was also excited about the return of SPOILER ALERT! SKINNER! Anyways, it was a good film, I even bought the 3 disk unrated directors cut edition DVD, and it is great! 10/10
