Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Review
Even for a Michael Bay movie, this robot-on-robot sequel is a pointless, messy assault on the senses. The special effects, of course, are flawless. The rest is scrap metal.

Two 30-ish guys reunite and recount their imaginary cool pasts in a comedy with an intriguing premise that sometimes works before collapsing.
Talent is wasted on a Biblical scale in Harold Ramis’ scattershot back-in-the-day skit.
Another forgettable, paint-by-numbers romantic comedy, marginally saved only by the comedic talents of the film’s leads.
Despite some inspired bits, much of this film is aimless shambling, as if in search of its own brain. Still, "Dead Snow" is sure to be the best Nazi zombie film of the year.
Despite the somewhat jarring end, this South Korean film from 1960 is well-paced and acted, beautifully shot in black and white, and interesting thematically, aesthetically and in its appropriation of different genres.
Duncan Jones’ homage to the cerebral science fiction movies of the 1970s, slips into theaters beneath the scanners, sans warp drive flashes and the crunch of terminating footsteps.
In this return to Manhattan – and to his old tricks – Woody Allen finds a perfect representative in Larry David.
Joining the ever-increasing ranks of pointless remakes, this movie marks a low point for nearly everyone involved.
This lobotomized, CW version of “Misery” will leave you begging to be put out of yours.
