Like many of you I spent last week celebrating our nations birth. Which to most Americans equals grilling, drinking, throwing an object around in the yard and catching a summer movie. It seems, I am more atypical American than I had originally thought, because I did all of these things.
I love the summer, the warm nights and the hot women, minus the hotness of the women. The best part of the summer is the movies. The Studios release their big budget, violence laced, sex driven BLOCKBUSTERS. We start to seem them sneak into the theater in May and by the 4th of July we are knee deep in explosions.
This summer is no exception and by far the biggest film of the year is Transformers. You know, that Michael Bay movie about the robots that kickass. I talked to someone over the weekend who was not quite sure what these “Transformers” were all about. I asked the person, who is in her 30’s, had she been asleep in the 80’s. She said no, I think she is lying?
Now I am not going to give you the background on this movie, just know if you are looking for a fun summer movie, this is it! I have seen a lot of movies, yes more than ten, and when I saw Transformers last week I was excited. There has been a lot of hype surrounding this robot flick. I knew it was going to be a big earner, but even I was surprised when at the end of the movie the whole audience applauded? When was the last time that happened? Minus a film festival. This thing is going to break records and make more money than Heiser’s other favorite 4th of July release, Independence Day.
