{mosimage}I can sum this movie up in one word - silly. Michael Bay has taken it upon himself to single-handedly crush the life out of the Transformers that I know and love.



This movie is just wrong on so many levels. It comes across like another stupid American-Terrorist-Army movie, in which the US army treats both Autobots and Decepticons as invading aliens. At one point, I was like, ummm, isn't this meant to be a Transformers movie ? So, where are the Transformers and why aren't they center-stage ?



The best thing about this movie, is they used the voice talent of Peter Cullen, the original Optimus Prime voice from the 80's cartoons. Hugo Weaving, was just wasted as the voice of Megatron.



All and all, it's a big budget, slow and long (2hrs 24mins) CGI-fest, with a crappy story. Hasbro, you've sold out, but I'm sure you'll make a truck-load in the process.

I'm down with the flu, so I'll be sleeping through much of it, though I hope to catch the Beastie Boys who will be in London.



Update 8/7: At 7:30am this morning, I got to see the Beastie Boys performing, tearing it up quite nicely.

Today, Lisa and I went to the Festitalia 2007 event at the RNA Showgrounds.


After a rather long walk from the Brunswick St train station to the entrance, we were then greeted by lots of nice Italian food on offer. Ravioli, Lasagne, Cannoli, BBQ Octopus and Pancakes were just some of the great food we got to sample - my favourite being the BBQ'd squid. Yummm.



I took a couple of snaps, which can be found here.
