"We’re less than a week away from the release of Tropic Thunder, and as the reviews and puff pieces make their way onto the web, there’s one thing clearly uniting the media’s coverage: talk of Tom Cruise’s appearance in a small role as a Hollywood studio boss. Everyone seems to agree that he steals the show and that his performance — or the joke surrounding it — is one of the comedy’s major highlights, if not the actual best part. Of course, we can expect a good cameo from Cruise every now and then. He showed up for a bit part in Young Guns and played himself as playing “Austin Powers” in Austin Powers in Goldmember. But from what it sounds like, his role in Tropic Thunder is featured for longer than might qualify as a cameo. Some are regardless referring to the performance as an “extended cameo”, and in theory it certainly fits in with the huge crop of so-called “ironic cameos” that have become popular in movies and TV in the last ten years. Still, despite my not having yet seen th ... "

"Although I understand why there's discussion of the new Michael Bay theme park ride on the Transformers animated movie page, I'm annoyed that nobody's stepped up to actually review the earlier flick. Save the Bay boos and bravos for the Transformers 2007 page! I just rewatched it last night in a fit of nostalgia, and came away both surprised at what had held up after twenty-odd years and also somewhat disappointed at what hadn't. I had also forgotten that the movie is a pretty Star Wars-ian streamlining of the Transformers mythos, killing off or otherwise jettisoning a whole bunch of the classic Generation 1 characters (notably Optimus Prime, who gets a couple of fantastic scenes at the beginning) in favor of a ragtag band of new heroes who you may either love or hate, depending on your enjoyment of Judd Nelson's voice acting skills.Thoughts? I'll elaborate on mine later, but I did enjoy it. "

"So I was feeling down on the new Transformers flick. That is, until I read this review over at Geeks of Doom (http://geeksofdoom.com/2007/0 6/29/movie-review-transformers /). Here is a short expert:"Well thank GoD I wasn’t forced to settle! This summer’s blockbuster has finally arrived people. Only it’s not a mere blockbuster, it’s a two and a half hour atomic bomb… strapped to a roller-coaster… filled with snakes… on fire!"I read that and was in. Nerds love it. I'm in. I will be there July 4th with my friends and we will love it. To get ready, we are watching this tonight: http://www.spout.com/films/357 51/default.aspx "

"I'll admit I have dual biases. Biases which are in direct conflict. On one hand, I grew up loving the Transformers, and to this day consider Optimus Prime a personal hero on par with Atticus Finch or Abraham Lincoln. On the other hand, Michael Bay sucks. I mean he really sucks. Excluding The Rock, has he done anything worthwhile? Well, I suppose now that Transformers is out, the answer is, surprisingly, yes. Rather than let Autobots and Decepticons fight to the death with nary a human around to ask "...um, wha?" the film focuses on the military response to a "Non-Biological Extra-Terestrial" invasion. It's a wise choice, lending at least a modicum of credibility to a franchise that is, essentially, the world's longest toy commcercial. (The film was, in fact, co-produced by Hasbro). Still, no one goes to see Transformers -- or, hopefully, any Michael Bay film -- for things like character arcs and plot points. No, we go to Transformers to see big robots kicking the crap out ... "
