Film review -- Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

Now I haven't seen the first Transformers movie, but according to a convenient source, the second one is better than the first one. It was visually well produced, but if you want to talk about character development or suspense, you might as well pick another movie. The whole time throughout the movie, I wasn't worried about anybody or anything. Also, the sex appeal is just raw and blunt. The girlfriend looks just stupid (and arguably sexy) when she was either fixing or cleaning a motorcycle when she first appears in the movie. Who'd dry hump a bike like that?

Film review -- Brüno (Bruno) (2009)

I have to say I was a bit disappointed -- although those Harvard kids who packed the movie theater seemed to enjoy it big time. Borat was innocent and hilarious. Bruno is just silly and vulgar. The entire movie relies on gay jokes. The a** f***ing scene and the spinning dick scene are not funny (as the wrestling scene in Borat) but just disturbing. The Bruno in the original TV show is much a wittier interviewer who is able to ask interesting and tricky questions and manipulate the interviewees. The Bruno in the movie, on the other hand, is just a gorgeous idiot.
