Public Enemies - What Did You Think?
Regardless of her acting talent, which frankly has yet to be proven (look to Jennifer’s Body for that) you’ve got to love Megan Fox. On screen some comes across like the ultimate fembot, glammed- and dolled-up almost beyond the point of humanity. She’s a pouting, posing, running machine, especially in the hands of Michael Bay. But in interviews she’s reliably awesome, because she evidently thinks she’s hot enough to say any damn thing in the world. And, for right now, that might be true. Cue a bunch of slightly trash-talking comments about Bay and Transformers 2, which has led to a head-shaking, condescending response from Bay. What better way to start the weekend? Read More »
FilmSchoolRejects has posted some new photos from the Diablo Cody-scripted teen horror film Jennifer’s Body. The photos were were apparently scanned from Empire Magazine. After the jump I’ve included the new images which feature Megan Fox as a cheerleader and a man eating blood covered possessed demon, along with a dirty and bloody Amanda Seyfried. Head on over to FSR for the high res scans.

Movie Review: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Posted on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 by Russ Fischer
It would be easy to say that Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen plays like a movie made by a thirteen year old boy for other thirteen year old boys, but if that were actually the case, it might not be such a wretched experience. Made by a filmmaker who doesn’t seem to be much evolved beyond the mentality of a teenager, yes, Revenge of the Fallen could also probably be characterized as the Hollywood sequel machine run amok. Who needs ‘better’ when you can do more, louder, flashier?
Transformers is dull, ponderous and overlong, packed to the gills with glamor shots of busy robot designs and Megan Fox, flashes of idiocy (a small robot humping the leg of Fox, who smiles at it fondly) and endless examples of Bay’s increasingly tedious military porn. If summer entertainment is meant to be diverting and imaginative, Revenge of the Fallen succeeds only in that it drove me into periods of catatonic daydreaming, where I imagined watching anything else.

Exclusive Video From the UK Transformers 2 Press Conference
Posted on Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009 by Brendon Connelly
The UK release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was last week, and before that there was a press conference with Michael Bay, Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and John Turturro for not only the British press but, seemingly, a number of continental Europeans also. I was there, but this time I was not sitting amongst the press pack, waiting to shoot my hand up, but stood behind my camera, getting us some exclusive video. That video - about five minutes, representing the material really worth bothering with in the forty five minute conference - comes after the break.
As Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen approaches, Paramount has released a final batch of production photos. Paramount held their first American press screening tonight, and so far I’ve been hearing extremely mixed reactions - some people loved it, while others hated it. It will be interesting to see the official reviews as they begin rolling in early next week. Check out 8 more photos after the jump. As always, click to enlarge.
A new one minute video clip from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has been released in conjunction with the new Transformers BD-Live release. Unfortunately, the only copy of the video I could find is on YouTube and has a LOUD screeching noise throughout. If you’re going to watch this clip, first mute your computer speakers. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! We now have a better copy of the clip, complete with audio, thanks to Trailer Addict.

Two More Transformers 2 TV Spots and English Language Wheelie Clip
Posted on Thursday, June 11th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Paramount has begun airing a couple of new television spots for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Also, the video clip we posted yesterday featuring Megan Fox and the mini RC remote controlled decepticon spy named Wheelie, is now available in English. All three clips are available after the jump.

Are you one of those people that likes to watch every little clip in anticipation for a big summer blockbuster? If so I bring you, two new clips from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. One catch… They are dubbed in German. I know that won’t stop some of you, so enjoy the two new clips after the jump.
It’s funny to watch Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf run around yelling in German. One of the clips features the mini remote controlled Decepticon spy named Wheelie (pictured above). The other features a scene from the big opening sequence at the Asian power plant, with the special ops team moving in on some robots in disguise.

Rumor Mill: The Rock’s Commando Remake? Megan Fox: Vampire Slayer? Bond 23 in Afghanistan?
Posted on Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
A couple rumors are circulating the interwebs this week, so I thought I’d put together a small round-up.

Empire Magazine has gotten their hands on a new international movie poster for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
The one-sheet features Shia LaBouf and Megan Fox running through the desert, with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee following close behind. It almost looks as if Optimus takes another step, he would crush Sam and Mikaela. And we have the pyramids and signature Michael Bay sunset and explosions in the background.
Head on over to Empire to see the poster in higher resolution. I would normally post something like this in Page 2, but its a slow news morning.
Our first look at Josh Brolin in his Jonah Hex costume, not to mention make-up, has appeared on the Lainey Gossip blog. The main thrust of their story is some rather un-/Filmy jibber jabber about Brolin’s private life, but they decided to illustrate it with some Jonah Hex paparazzi shots from this last weekend’s shooting. Sample all three of the Brolin images after the jump, and don’t forget that there’s already been some snaps of Megan Fox in her rather… er… overt costume.
Transformers 2 Clip: Sam and Mikaela Hide From The Decepticons
Posted on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Paramount Pictures premiered a new clip from Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen during tonight’s MTV Movie Awards. The clip features a scene where Sam Witwicky (Shia Lebeouf) and Mikaela (Megan Fox) hide out from the evil decepticons. But an insecticon spy gives away their location, forcing the couple to make a run for it. I really like the continuous camera shot which was obviously stiched together digitally. It nicely conveys the urgancy of the situation using a big sweeping camera move through a keyhole to connect our heroes in hiding with the big giant decepticons just outside the shack. Watch the clip after the jump, and leave your thoughts in the comments below.
