Okay, so Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is a blah movie. But the sequel is still so hot right now, it just makes you want to buy one of these rings. So what are you: an Autobot or a Decepticon?

Shia La-who? Just call him Shia. Don't mind his last name which is yet to be spelled correctly in magazine. This guy's got talent! He can act -be it a serious or funny role - he does deliver. I've been a fan of this kid since he starred on Constantine. He's been on Indiana Jones and soon on Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.


While he's still working on the huge projects, take a look at his latest movie Eagle Eye. The trailer doesn't show much but it looks pretty good.

When I watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull, I thought of Jessica Zafra's post about the movie. She has a point. Harrison Ford is old and we don't expect him to have the same energy he had when he last played the role. I watched it for two reasons: Cate Blanchett and Shia LaBeouf are both in it and the trailer looks like it's going to be a fun ride.


And yes, it was a lot of fun! I have to say, some parts were kind of boring. The Indy rip-off, National Treasure was better at keeping the moviegoers excited in every scene. A few things I loved:

1. Harrison does not try too hard with his action scenes. It does portray him as an aging adventurer.
2. As usual, Cate Blanchett delivers. I admire her for doing well in using the accents required in her movies. She did well as an Irish reporter in Veronica Guerin. In Indy4, she plays a Russian and speak Russian too.
3. Clearly, the Indiana Jones franchise is still alive. And I'm glad that they chose Shia LaBeouf to be the next Indy.
