Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon Quick Review

Hey guys!

Been a while, sorry for the lack of updates as I've been wasting away day by day without much progress on my dissertation...

A few days ago, I went to watch Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon with Shin's bro. It was 3D and overall it isn't bad. The story is still as flimsy as a piece of cling film like previous movies but that's not really what we want to see, right? What we want to see is cars and appliances that can transform into robots and beat the crap out of each other. And in that respect, the movie doesn't disappoint.

Actors from the earlier movies come back to do TF3. I was disappointed at Shia LaBeouf's role as emo kid Sam Witwicky. Seriously, it was painful to watch his performance. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as Megan Fox's replacement as leading female role was some what  alright I guess... Shin did tell me she's hot from top down but not the face and I am convinced now LOL. Was funny how one of the lines in the beginning was on how the little autobots didn't like Megan xD

As I said story is not that hot. But action sort of makes up for it. It feels as if they're trying to make up for the crappy story with senseless explosions and violence.

All in all it's an alright movie... I give TF3 a 3/5... But then I wasn't able to enjoy the movie as I would've liked.

WARNING! RAGE! WARNING! RAGE!
So like while we were watching from the beginning trailers, there was this group of 4 black teenage girls that kept making as much noise as possible from talking loudly to playing with their phones to laughing like a freaking monster. Some people shushed them and they shushed back. I was appalled at the lack of respect and full-on rudeness of these kids. Many a time, I wanted to either smack them over the head or ask for my money back but I did neither...

Worst part is even when we moved towards the back seats, one of those little b**ches shone her phone torchlight towards the back. I was and still am distressed by the actions of those damn animals. I keep wondering to myself recently is it because the stereotyping is true, or they are just undereducated by their parents or are they are acting this way because their parents weren't there so they wanted to abuse this freedom. Regardless, I try to believe whole heartedly that it is the last case. These little mongrels should learn some respect otherwise they will learn the hard way that there are people that are very much less tolerant...
/End of rant




I'll try to update more, peeps. Thanks for sticking around! :>

New Toy - Transformers Barricade (2007)

Hey guys,

I recently fell into a temporary state of childhood trance and in that effect, bought myself some toys =S One of which is this little action figure. I always wanted a Barricade figure but they all have fugly faces on the boxart on the back of the packaging and by the time I've come around to want one badly enough, 4 years had passed. lol.

This is the Premium Deluxe Barricade from back in 2007. I can say it's a pretty nice toy XD the details are pretty good too!

The little details are what make it look nice like the emergency number and the slogan. 

As a car I think it is pretty sweeeeeet haha. 

The car's a 2005 Saleen Mustang if you're interested lol.

What's a Transformer that can't transform right? He looks pretty bad in robot form. Good-bad.

Buuuuuuut he has a little hand problem. Or lack-there-of, which is the bad thing :S

His arm is the whole side of the car.

His extendo arm gimmick... UGH. When I saw it in picture and video reviews, I thought "Why they hating this? It looks pretty good" until I experienced it first hand. Moving the hand up and down can even trigger it to pop out. annoying indeed. But I still think it's an OK gimmick considering the arms have not much movement and posability.

As for posability, my Bumblebee can do great poses and now he has a new playmate haha.

Oh and from his chest pops out a not-to-scale Frenzy. He says hi.

I won this figure on eBay for quite cheap considering the price it's going for here (because it's not produced anymore and they wanna squeeze all the money out of people). 

And literally seconds before the end of the auction someone tried to bid snipe me! 

To my satisfaction, I called the top bid first and gave him/her a big middle finger.

Overall, I'm pleased with it and finally have a companion for Bumblebee. Haa but I am considering getting the new Barricade from the Dark of the Moon movie line coming out soon.

Thanks for reading guys!
