Who Can’t Act In Transformers 3?

Jul 05, 11 Who Can’t Act In Transformers 3?

Posted by Michael in Movies and Video, Transformers

Overall, I really liked the acting in Transformers 3.  It’s about as believable as giant robots turning into trucks is going to be outside of Saturday morning cartoons.  Shia LaBeouf plays the one character that he knows how to do, John Turturro is over the top as ever, and Josh Duhamel rocks in everything he does.  Alan...

Posted by Michael in Movies and Video

Posted by Michael in Other Things

I recently heard about the Transformers candy dispensers that will be given away as promotional items by Target.  Chrissy and I shop at Target all the time, so I thought that we could pick up some M&Ms and order me one.  From the picture, it looks like it will be pretty big, like a decent-sized gumball machine.  We’ll...
