Keep on Trucking: LGI commercial hauling

Driving on the highway as a child always brings the excitement of being passed by huge trucks bearing goods from livestock or melons to portable DVD players or gas.

It's a familiar thought to pump your hand twice in the hope that the friendly driver will blow steam from the top, just for your amusement.

You always imagine the romantic ideal of "life on the open road" and think about the crazy conversations and competitions that these guys partake in over their radios.

The reality of it is that it is a very important and needed job that keeps our stores and businesses supplied so that we can live our local lives without worry.

Transformers - My thoughts

Here is my quick review of the latest Transformers movie as posted on Helium.

Transformers the Movie was the first ever movie I went to see.

At 5 years old I don't remember the whole thing but remember being marvelled at the huge war and years later remember hearing a rumour of a little swearing hidden in it's depths.

So of course when the new film was announced I was eager to go see it and have been keeping tabs on it's progress since the first teaser trailor.

Shortly after the movie started I realised that this film wasn't aimed at the scores of current 5 year olds that are playing with the latest incarnation of the transformers toy line. This film was aimed at me and the other 5 year olds who sat in the cinema over 20 years ago with our mouths agape totally consumed.

So what did I make of this film. I did enjoy it but it was very hard to digest everything. Far too many characters and complete inconsistency between humour and serious political points, women with the most stuck fast make up ever, even after a huge city fight they manage to keep that lipstick right where it is supposed to be, and many plot holes. For instance it was finitely explained how and why these alien robots are disguised as everyday human machines (well almost everyday machines) but then there was no explanation as to how Megatron managed to become a state of the art jet when he had been isolated since the time that tea clippers were hi-tech. I guess a big slow floating Megatron would not have had the same effect during the tense well executed battle scenes.

The battle scenes and transforming special effects were amazing though and made the movie well worth seeing, well that and a small role for the type cast Bernie Mac that had me and gladly most others in the cinema in hysterics.

Here is a link to another bloggers review of the original movie if anyone is interessted. Like mine it's a quick review without too much detail but a fun quick read. http://boofberg.blogspot.com/2006/11/review-of-transformers-movie-20th.html
