Transformers 2

Posted by:Kal
It has just come to my attention recently, that Transformers the movie will have a sequel that is due the middle of the 2009. Not much information has been released about the sequel, especially because of the dim-witted writer’s strike that is happening right now. Filming will commence no matter what around June of 2008, which means, if the screenplay sucks…we might be in for a really bad sequel. Hopefully, the writers will just give in so we can go back to good movies in cinemas. Here is what Wikipedia has said about this matter:

“Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are expected to return as director and executive producer for Transformers 2, and Paramount has announced a June 26,2009 release. Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and Peter Cullen are signed on to return[…] Ehren Kruger was hired to write the script, alongside the returning Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman[....] Meanwhile, IDW Publishing will release its own sequel to the film, Transformers Movie Sequel: The Reign of Starscream, the first issue of which is due in April 2008.”

Hopefully that gives you Transformers fans something to look forward to, because I know I will be ecstatic.

The Gamer’s Utopia Movie Preview: Meet the Spartans

The film 300 was, by far, one of the greatest, if not only, Greco-roman themed film of 2007. Not even a year later, somebody has to make some kind of crappy parody about God-knows what, to feed off 300’s money wagon. And let it be the team who created Epic Movie, to parasitically nourish itself off of 300’s success. That’s right; Meet the Spartans will be hitting theaters at the end of January. Hopefully without a bang…we wouldn’t want viewers to have seizures while watching the movie, would we?

There is a bit of negativity in my tone when writing about Meet the Spartans. I mean, they “steal” a perfectly alright movie and then completely mock everything the movie was about. However, that’s really not what makes me angry, it’s the fact that people will actually pay to see it (Even though I will be guilty as well.) They gather a load of two-rate actors and actresses and mush them together with a despicable production crew and will make triple or even quadruple the amount they invest. How outlandish is that?

Anyways, Epic Movie 2 Meet the Spartans will parody not only 300, but also other movies such as Cloverfield, Transformers, Shrek the Third, Ghost Rider and Stomp the Yard. And mock celebrities such as Britney Spears and Chris Crocker. Hopefully, this movie will be a less of a letdown than its predecessor, but don’t hold your breath. Maybe I’ll get through this movie by drowning myself in Coca-cola and popcorn…That’s always positive.
