Roger Ebert's review of TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN


excerpt
 
"The human actors are in a witless sitcom part of the time, and lot of the rest of their time is spent running in slo-mo away from explosions, although--hello!--you can't outrun an explosion.   They also make speeches like this one by John Turturro: "Oh, no! The machine is buried in the pyramid!  If they turn it on, it will destroy the sun!  Not on my watch!"   The humans, including lots of U.S. troops, shoot at the Transformers a lot, although never in the history of science fiction has an alien been harmed by gunfire."


 



Insert movie times and more without leaving HotmailĀ®. See how.

Couldn't pay me to see this thing.

Cool stuff on your blog.

...and...an answer to your question about "King John"...

Thanks, Keith! That's a wealth of information on those tracks.

I still like the "original" version of King Henry, probably because the LP version is the first one I heard, and in my mind it's "supposed" to sound like that.

I guess I'll have to dig the LP out of the attic, and get around to digitizing it if I want to hear those clanging guitars!

thanks again. btw, if you ever come back to this page, please tell me how you know so much about Home & Garden.

Glad you found the info useful!

I know so much (as such) because I've been fronting H&G for the last 5 years.

You will be glad to know that the tapes of "King John" v.2 have since been located. I imagine that it will be released at some point (maybe on a comp with all of the old EP tracks?)

In the meantime, this live version of "King John" might be more to your liking (more ringing guitars):
