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...

The Transformers fandom was pretty excited to hear that Leonard Nimoy would lend his voice to Transformers 3 as Ultra Magnus Alpha Trion Sentinel Prime. He was originally the voice of Galvatron in the 1986 animated feature movie, so this could be considered his “triumphant return” to the franchise. What I...

I went to Toys R Us the weekend after Botcon to see if they had the new “Power Core Combiner” figures. I found the three 2-packs (one basic-sized figure and his mini-con partner) that make up the first wave there. They looked much better than I though they would.

I sent in my receipts a couple of weeks ago and I got two M&M candy dispensers in the mail over the weekend! The dispensers are pretty neat. Each stands about a foot tall, which is bigger than I thought it would be. ...

I’ve been holding off on writing anything about the new Transformers movie until everyone had a chance to see it. I know that some people really don’t like “spoilers”, but the movie has made about $600 million world-wide by now, so all of the people that care about this have already seen it. Chrissy and I...

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...
