Here are some suggestions, just for stuff that came out last year. Mostly Hollywood productions, too.
You are welcome.

On second thought, that looks like a panic attack, so maybe it is not that funny after allā¦
Michael Bay is guilty of many artistic crimes, but āremaking and degenerating the greatsā is not one of them. The Transformers series is mind-numbingly stupid, but only someone whose mind was clouded with nostalgia could argue that itās more stupid than the original 1980s toy commercials itās based on.

Iād argue that all of the Michael Bay Transformers moves are worse than the 1986 animated Eric Idle/Leonard Nemoy/Orson Wells craziness fest. At least in that version I could understand what was going on in the action scenes and the plot made just as much sense. Plus, it didnāt feel like a recruitment poster for the US armed forces.

How could it, with G.I. Joe right there for comparison?

I think itās telling that the modern G.I. Joe movie felt less like a recruitment effort than the modern Transformers movies.
Seriously, when the robots are punching one another (who knows which is which, they both look like a Tasmanian devel that walked through a scrapyard when they move) and the movie suddenly stops to let the US NAVY use itās totally awesome RAILGUN to blow a big chunk off of one of the robotā¦YOU WANT TO JOIN RIGHT? Plus plenty of tanks and planes and helicopters and soldiers everywhere trying to look cool.
It made me miss the days of totally pointless plot arcs with crazy three faced aliens that didnāt go anywhere.

And Iām sorry, but āThe Touchā is way cooler than anything Linkin Park has ever put out. Also, how many movies that arenāt āUHFā have Weird Al in the soundtrack?
All the Michael Bay movies have is well, Megan Fox.

And itās Megan Fox in crazy girlfriend mode, where she alternates between sticking her ass out so far it was in a different county, and being an asshole to Shia LeBeef (who admittedly deserves it).

Michael Bay could use some public speaking tips from Bill āweāll do it liveā OāReilly.

OMG - yes. Iāve been saying this since seeing it. The designs were crap. Then to make matters worse the action framed WAY too tight - all you saw was whirling metal crap. Zoom out, give us a sense of scale and let use see who is who.
I hated Transformers with a passion because of the just retarded plot and story that made no sense. It got too COLD for Megatron and he froze? You mean the same robots who live ON THE MOON???
And why canāt the most advanced cybernetic organism in the galaxy repair Bumblebeeās voice? The tech needed is as primitive as a Soundblaster 16.

I dunno. 4K TV news aside (ugh, who CARES? The viewing distances required to take full advantage of 4K tvs make them essentially useless), Iāve found a few interesting tidbits at this yearās CES so far.
Looks to me like heās so used to working in film, what went on in his head was, āCrap I screwed up the dialogue, letās shoot that again, Iāll just walk off and enter againā¦ Oh shit, I canāt just reshoot this, itās live. And Iām not in charge. Now I look like a moron for trying to walk off stage. How do I salvage this? Wing it? I have no idea what Iām winging. I canāt salvage it. Iām doing more damage with every passing second. Iām shutting this downā¦NOW.ā
If I were him I would have just pointed behind the audience and yelled, āWhat the fuck is that thing?!ā and then start making explosions and laser noises while doing a drop roll off stage.

I watch lots of excellent films.
I also enjoyed Bad Boys 2, inexplicably. At least Pegg & Wright share my shame.
