OFF WEEK - Transformers: Age of Extinction

I've had to concede to myself that there will be weeks in which I won't have time to update this blog. It's not necessarily because I won't have time to write a review; it's more based on the time, or lack there of, that I have to watch a movie.  I could write and have written in some instances about movies I like but haven't seen recently.  However, when I do that, I tend to note nearly as motivated in my writing, and the blog suffers.  

In place of writing a crappy review here and there, I've just decided to write a short paragraph for those weeks about a movie that is coming out soon that I'd like to see or a movie I've never seen that I intend to watch as soon as time permits.  Some of these will classics, some will be indies of which you may have never heard, some may will be unreleased titles.  Regardless, it will turn out better than if I just force an entry about something I'm not really motivated to write.


I wasn't a huge fan of the Transformers growing up, but the movies caught my interest when they were first announced. After watching the first one, I was enticed enough to continue watching the series. I have to say that Dark Side of the Moon was my favorite, thanks in large part to Alan Tudyk's appearance. He can make any movie a little better. 

Over the last couple of years, though, I've found a new appreciation for another actor, Mark Wahlberg. I always thought he kind of took himself too seriously, but after seeing some of his more comedic roles, I've changed my opinion on the topic. I think he'll be a cool addition to this franchise, and I think he'll be a better lead than Shia LaBeouf was. I don't dislike LaBeouf, but he's not exactly my favorite either. If nothing else, I'm excited to see robot dinosaurs.
