So,here goes...
Transformers
Their War. Our World.
So, just let me give you a brief history and plot outline of Transformers. Transformers is a live action film based on the cartoon Transformers franchise and stars the young and upcoming actors, Shia Lebeouf and Megan Fox (Extra note: She is FREAKING HOT for the most part of the show). Besides, Transformers is produced by Michael Bay. At first glance, I really undecided whether Transformers would be a movie to watch as other Michael Bay's production such as Pearl Harbor (where I fell asleep 30 minutes into the movie) or The Island (where people starting cloning each other in a sort-of virtual world). However, Transformers really changed my mind about Michael Bay. He really did an AWESOME job where there are destructions, actions, max-CGI (when the Autobots or Decepticons are transforming is a sight to behold) and LESS love interactions between the 2 humans.
More than meets the eye.

Optimus Prime vs Megatron
- Story: A+
- Acting: A (I know it's quite difficult to act w/o the real robots but props to them)
- Directions: A+ (Micheal Bay rawks)
- Visuals: A+++++++
- Overall: A+
Live Free or Die Hard (Die Hard 4.0)
What we all (or just me) expect from the Die Hard series, and this one doesn't disappoint with it's over the top, outrageous action sequences, and the cheesy one-liners that John McClaine doles out in spades. Besides, there is also Justin Long (Accepted) as a newbie hacker which offers few numerous jokes (Are you alright? after John has blown a helicopter etc.). The plot line also adds some political resonance to the post 9/11 world, and the script adds some heart with the introduction of John's daughter, Lucy Gennaro played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Final Destination 3). However, it's pretty unrealistic where John able to solo everyone and rampage through his way until he reaches the bad guys. All in all, a crowd-pleasing action movie.

- Directions: A- (Total action packed suitable for action junkies)
- Visuals: B
- Overall: B+
Evan Almighty
(From the director of Bruce Almighty)
I suggest that anyone who have watched Bruce Almighty and loved it, you will most probably be interested to watch Evan Almighty as well where the plot is very similar to the previous show. It all started with the newly elected to Congress, Evan Baxter, is the next one anointed by God (Morgan Freeman again) to accomplish a holy mission--walking in the footsteps of Bruce Almighty. His life gets turned upside-down when God appears and mysteriously commands him to build an ark. But his befuddled family just can't decide whether Evan is having an extraordinary mid-life crisis or is truly onto something of Biblical proportions (Genesis 614). Oh yeah, Evan Almighty has no female actor that worth mentioning. So, no eye candy for side watching (disappointed). Overall, I still prefer Bruce Almighty based on the originality and Jim Carrey.

- Story: B- (No originality)
- Acting: B (Jim Carrey > Steve Carell and Jennifer Aniston > Lauren Graham)
- Directions: B
- Visuals: C (The part where the ark moving on water is total crappy)
- Overall: B-
Watch movies on ori DVD = RM 50++ and time
Watch movies in cinema = RM 11 and queues
Watch movies on pirated DVD = RM 10 and unclear
Watch movies whenever you want on PC = PRICELESS
