I just rented
Transformers with Netflix. The acting overall was marginal, but two women were extremely hot; first and foremost,
Megan Fox. She played Mikaela Banes, the love interest of the main character, Sam.
I kind of expected it to be lame, to tell the truth. I think Michael Bay is a piece of crap director.his first two movies were huge hits, so he gets credit he doesn't deserve. Visually, Pearl Harbor and Armageddon, were pleasing to the eye, but the director needs to be more than just flash and CG. I guess he figured he had awesome special effects, so why bother with a story. I was particularly disappointed in Pearl Harbor. He took great content, and an important part of our history, and turned it into a piece of crap romantic dramedy with airplanes.
Anyhow, Transformers is actually very good, at least a lot better than my expectations.
It's no spoiler to tell you that Sam was a dork. He was trying to impress a girl, Megan Fox, by buying a hot car, unfortunately, all he could afford was a rusted out piece of crap Camaro. Coincidently, the Camaro happens to be badass alien robot.
Megan's character seemed a little cliché, but she pulled it off.
Megan started out hot. We meet her in a tank top and ultra miniskirt. The best scene has to be when she pops is on the Camaro and checks out the engine, while Sam checks her out.
As time goes on, and alien robots to go to war on our planet, Megan gets very dirty. After a couple of car accidents, explosions, laser blasts, etc. She gets all sweaty and her shirt gets torn. If she looks that good before a shower, I can only imagine her afterword.
Another actress,
Rachel Taylor, had a much smaller role. She played Maggie, a supposed super hacker.
This part of the movie was absolutely ridiculous... as almost every "hacker/computer geek" scene. Supposedly she runs a team of the best codebreakers in the world who are brought in by the Department of Defense in a moments notice to decode the alien language. Thank goodness she knows the greatest factor in the history of the world, an overweight black guy who this is his grandma and spends time playing DDR with his cousin.
Anyhow, she's hot. It's just too bad that you're too busy laughing at her character to enjoy it.
This morning I got an e-mail from Old Navy. My assistant wanted to order something online one time, and I let her use my e-mail address, so I guess I'm permanently on Old Navy's mail list. Normally I don't even open it, but this time I did, and boy was I glad. Apparently they're having some kind of sale or something, I don't know, I didn't actually read it.
