burbanked asked: I approach Michael Bay movies as if I were a beaten dog. I keep hoping that he won't bludgeon me into submission, but that's all he ever does.
I couldn't stand TF1 and when TF2 came around, I tried to convince myself to see it, just to see if I was missing something that so many other people seemed to enjoy.
Then at some point I thought, "wait,...

30 Day Movie Challenge Day 12 – A movie that you...
TRANSFORMERS 2
It’s the worst movie that I’ve ever seen in theaters. I remember rolling my eyes every 2 seconds, looking at my watch and hoping that the movie would stop. Little did I knew, the movie was 150 minutes long. That’s quite an epic crapfest.
Michael Bay, you won’t have my 10 bucks next time.

30 day movie challenge #11: A movie that changed...
WAG THE DOG
In 97 I was a young 13 year old kid who was still quite innocent (remember that internet was starting back then). I remember being amazed by the fact that this fiction became reality when Clinton was caught with Monica Lewinsky. The concept of astroturfing was new and shocking to me. Even now, after having studied in journalism, I still admire Wag the Dog for showing the dark side...

30 day movie challenge #10 Favorite classic movie
METROPOLIS
Not only is it visually beautiful, but the message is also quite actual (The heart must be mediator between the head-planners-and the hands-workers-). See it on the big screen if you can, it will amaze you.
#2 of my favorite films.

Economical lessons from the movies
We can still feel the effects of the recession in our society. We’re living through some tough times, unfortunately. But as everything in life, Hollywood has some lessons to give you.
WORK HARD TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS
In Princess & The Frog, Tiana has been saving up money ever since she was a kid to open her own restaurant. She even worked double shifts to get there. As the...

AMERICAN GRAFFITTI
I could have also said Dazed & Confused or Yellow Submarine, but I love Rock’N’Roll! The soundtrack makes more than half of the experience. George Lucas sure knows his music (hence the grey pompadour)!

E.T.
You see, when I was young my parents bought the Betamax, so I had only 5-6 movies that I could watch. One of them was E.T. and I’m pretty sure that watching this movie religiously made me part of who I am now.
I still love it just a much now, but I watch it less often.

The ending blew me away! I can’t really explain why yet. You’ll have to wait a few days.

The Oscars will be really awkward if best picture goes to 127 Hours and best actor to James Franco. It probably won’t happen, but it’s weird!

Kevin Smith retires!
Director Kevin Smith announced during his Sundance speech for Red State, that he would retire after his next project : Hit Somebody. We’ll have to wait and see if he keeps his promise, but meanwhile he’ll get into the movie distribution business with SModcast Pictures. He calls it Indie Filmmaking 2.0.
For years, I’ve read “He’s no filmmaker.” Turns out they were right: I’m...

30 day challenge #6 : Favorite made for TV movie
DUEL
Even after more than 40 movies, his first is still one of his best. The story takes place on the open road but it’s actually really confined. It’s Man vs Machine, Thesus vs Minotaur. Spielberg’s direction here is really powerful because it’s pure visual storytelling; the whole movie rests on his shoulders.

30 Day #5: Favorite love story in a movie
BEFORE SUNSET
Forget the Hollywood bullshit, this movie feels real! You find the characters of Before Sunrise 10 years later as they spend one afternoon talking to each other. That’s my kind of romantic movies.

30 day challenge #4: A movie that makes you sad
Toy Story 3
Everything that was left of my childhood died. I cried like a baby, even after the movie. True story.

Dazed and Confused
It starts my summer. I take 3-4 cool beers, sit back and enjoy the ride. The soundtrack is also the sound of my summer.

“He was not serious when he talked about the end of the world in 2012 but he is...”
– Lucasfilm rep Lynne Hale, half-facetiously dispelling Seth Rogen’s report that George Lucas actually thinks the world is ending in 2012.

30 Day Challenge #2 : The most underrated movie
THX 1138
Yes, THX was a movie by George Lucas before it became associated with quality sound. Sadly, most people have never seen his first movies, back when he actually was a visionary.

Anne Hathaway is Catwoman!
Warner Bros has confirmed Anne Hathaway as Catwoman and Tom Hardy as Bane in Dark Knight Rises. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen these villains, and the last time wasn’t so great (for both of them).
Could Dark Knight Rises possibly be an adaptation of Knightfall?
If so, the title has a totally new meaning because, in Knightfall, Bane breaks Batman’s back, making...

30 Day Challenge : Day #1
The best movie you saw during the last year?
Social Network
Athough Toy Story 3 made me cry, my favorite of the year is Social Network. As strange as it may sound, I can see myself in this movie. In some way…I lived this movie (minus many billions of dollars).
I also love the photography and the soundtrack of this movie. It sounds and look sophisticated, yet simple and in the moment....

Flickchart Duel #1: Unbreakable vs Collateral
WINNER: Unbreakable. I think it’s M Night Shyamalan’s greatest movie (back when he used to be good). I like how it takes a classic superhero premise and takes it into reality. It precedes Batman Begins with the “gritty and realistic” approach that we see everywhere now.
Collateral on the other hand was great…until it reached the ending. The problem is that it...
