Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Movie Review
When the second installment of this trilogy movie has manifest the brilliance of the whole package, then the third one is far beyond what we expect. The former involves a giant humanoid robot effectively anally raping a cement mixer in front of the pyramids, the only way from there is this.
And yeah, so it is that Transformers: Dark Of The Moon is miles better thanTransformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, but still falls miles short of the daft charm that made Transformers such fun and awesome.
And yeah, so it is that Transformers: Dark Of The Moon is miles better thanTransformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, but still falls miles short of the daft charm that made Transformers such fun and awesome.
In fact, fun doesn't feature much at all in Dark Of The Moon: Bay had promised that the second sequel would be "darker ... more emotional", and for the most part he's succeeded. If, that is, you are prepared to believe - as I do - that giant robots can inspire an emotional response, because the humans give you jack shit. A few months clear of college, Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) has a hot new girlfriend, Carly (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley), and a lot of time on his hands: he can't get a job to save himself, no matter how many times he mentions that "PUSA" gave him a medal.
We learn this after a handy prologue that explains how Earth ended up in the pickle that won Witwicky his medals. To wit, how the Autobots and Decepticons' war came to Earth via... the Moon! Yes, it turns out an Autobot spacecraft crashed into the dark side of the Moon back in 1961, and the ensuing space race between the USA and USSR was not so much to make giant leaps for mankind, but to recon alien technology.
Since then - and since we last left Optimus Prime and his friends - the Autobots have been working with the US military, popping off around the world to dish out justice to an assortment of central casting villains of nondescript non-Caucasian appearance.
It's on one of these trips - to Chernobyl, which with its abandoned classic cars and, er, merry-go-round, looks an awful lot like a Dwight Yoakam video clip from 1997 - that Lt. Lennox (Josh Duhamel) and his crew are ambushed by a Decepticon driving an enormous mechanical hydra (Shockwave and his Driller).
Meanwhile, people with intel about NASA's Space Race-era involvement with the Autobots are being picked off one-by-one by a Decepticon assassin (Laserbeak).
The extended US military/Autobot crew puts two and two together to make five, and a sulking Optimus throws a bitch fit back at the base to convince the Secretary of Defense (Frances McDormand) to allow them to retrieve the crashed spaceship's pilot - Sentinel Prime - from the Moon to avoid certain Decepticon victory.
Megatron, exiled in generic Africa, gets wind of all this and springs into action, too. All of this and the film is not even a third of the way through (it's overstuffed at 154-minutes). Suffice to say there is later a plan afoot to reboot Cybertron and downtown Chicago isn't going to like it.
Revenge screenwriter Ehren Kruger has again drawn on Transformers lore for this iteration, at Bay's command, though there's so much mangling and editing of said lore - Laserbeak is now a computer, Soundwave returns from Revenge and still shows no sign of turning into a cassette deck; once again Starscream, one of pop culture's best villains, is relegated to the background - you wonder why he bothered.
(Comic relief this time comes from Brains and Wheelie, two small and non-descript Autobots - one looks like Johnny-5, the other like a pile of Meccano with a sea anemone on top - who live on Witwicky's balcony. Mercifully, unlike Revenge's Skids and Mudflap, they are occasionally actually funny.)
Dark Of The Moon's politics are, for a "USA! USA!" stylist such as Bay, rather perplexing: it's pro-troops, yet curiously anti-Army/government. Considering the immense marketing juggernaut the franchise has become, the film's distrust of corporate America is odd, too. It's almost - almost - refreshing.

Trip to Guimaras
TREASURES in life are precious properties of each individual, not in the form of money or wealth, expensive cars and decent houses, not in gram of gold or diamond, not in brand new car or a latest model gadgets; its by the memories and experiences in life that are once in a lifetime and one of the kind memoirs; memoirs you will cherish for a lifetime.
Travel is one of my greatest passions in life especially during summer season. I looove the beach, the sea breeze and the summer sun that heats up my skin and the smell of white hues in the sea shore. Don't get me wrong, people out there love it too.
Last April, my office mates invited me to go to Guimaras in their Manggahan Festival, without hesitation I nod and say why not?! Aside from the adventure riding in a vessel called roro which is my first time, I was fascinated of the the idea of going in a naturally rich paradise of TREASURE nestled across the island of Negros. Adjoining the stretchy more or less 2 and half hours of travel from the boot-shaped island of Negros, passing the island of Ilo-ilo we hurdle to the urge to sleep because it was after our shift when we left Negros . It was 10:00 pm when we docked in the sea port of Guimaras and unexpectedly no transport vehicle is available. There was a "habal-habal" but it only accomodates 3 passengers, we're 7 and so we declined. It was also a blessing in disguise that there was a van owned by the tourism department of the Island, so we asked if we can ride even in the back portion of it, which is actually not for human space. So, they asked if it's okay for us..well as if we have a choice, though my principle says NO!, so then a hitched in the back. It cant even accommodate
my extending neck but since we have no choice, GO!.
I'll skip the part of travel..anyway it did not went there for convenience, i want adventure and summer escapade. The target of our trip is to end up in the Raymen Beach Resort, the little boracay of Guimaras as they call it. We did what a typical summer vacation is; we enjoy the splashing summer water, the beauty of white sand and the summer glare of the sun. It was really fun under the sun. To complete the whole package, we had an island hopping that was great and a jaw-dropping experience for me. Corals are visible under the crystal blue water and whatever sea creatures.LOL..With 3 days break, I was able to give a little pampering experience this summer.

Word of the Day
A word is born! Just like the word google, the word UNFRIEND is slowly catching on and is officially added by New Oxford Dictionary. Strictly speaking it means to remove someone as a friend from a social networking site, such as Facebook. But it is also increasingly used to mean the detachment in real life from a friend you have fallen out with, or one who's become dull or annoying.(rdasia)

Celebrity of the Month (June)
It was a unanimous decision of the crowning of the 2011 Ms. Philippines Earth 2011 Athena Imperial of Municipality of Casiguran, Aurora. She was crowned among the 10 final candidates after the weekly elimination eliminating the 40 candidates and her victory was really unexpected because of all of them were deserving to be. When she answered her question if she is in favor of Nuclear Plant as the source of energy, she said "Let's all learn from what happened to Japan..."
She is resigning on her job, and take over the responsibility of helping the mother earth especially now that our Palawan Underground River is a contender for the Seven Wonders' of the World. But she said, she's still going to pursue her ambition of being a reporter and documentarist.
