Movies Exposed: Transformers: Dark Of The Moon

THE SUMMER MOVIE OF 2011!!!! If you see any movie this summer, make sure that Transformers is the one that see. SO AMAZING!!!! Yes it was about 3 hours but who cares when it keeps you entertained??? I can wait for this trilogy!!!! First of all, Transformers are so much win just because. I mean an alien race that mimics the physical attributes of vehicles and machines but that will kick ass!!!!! Secondly, the action in this film tops some of those with real actors. Shia LaBeouf returns as our human hero. He does a great job with continuing the character throughout the series. In this film, he becomes sort of an action hero. Just to think, he became known from a disney channel series. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was phenominal as the female lead. As a newcomer, she really had great presence on film. Her acting was amongst the best in the movie. I hate to say this but I didn't miss Megan Fox at all. Patrick Dempsey was okay in this movie.

Movies Exposed: Mr. Popper's Penguins

I know that I am one of the few but I had never heard of Mr. Popper's Penguins before the film. So I went into this very blindly. This is not my normal type of movie to see in theaters. I really only went because my niece earned straight A's in school and Uncle Monty had to reward. I found myself falling asleep quite a bit in this movie, which is not a very good sign. So in turn, I missed a lot of the plot. Like, I didn't understand how more than one penguin was shipped. But that is my fault for not being awake during the movie. The film had a nice warm feeling to it. I just couldn't get into it. Even Jim Carrey didn't bring enough to revive the film for me. For me the shining light was the subtle comedy by Ophelia Lovibond as Pippi. I love her alliteration and her overall presence in the movie. I just wanted more scenes with her in it. Overall, I give it 2/5 stars . I would wait for it to come on ABC family.
