Esquire names Megan Fox “The Last American Bombshell”

/ / Books & Magazines

Megan FoxIn an odd interview/essay on the troubles of beautiful actresses for the magazine’s February issue actress Megan Fox talked with Esquire’s Stephen Marche about Aztec sacrifice, the cost of fame, her love of Star Wars, the Book of Revelations, her relationship with Brian Austin Greene, her belief that people are inherently bad, keeping her own pregnancy a secret, her role as a sex symbol, her choice to get several of her tattoos removed beginning with her tattoo of Marilyn Monroe, wishing to walk in the steps of Ava Gardner, her religion, being in control of her body, her belief in leprechauns, and her fantasy about being an archaeologist who would discover the proof of ancient alien civilizations on Earth. You can find more pics from the photoshoot inside.

This is 40

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: This is 40
  • IMDB: link

this-is-40-posterThe latest from Judd Apatow is a very personal tale, and thinly-veiled comedic look at the writer/director’s own life (which casts his real-life family and is shot in their home). The film returns Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann (Apatow’s real-life wife) in this sort of, but not really, sequel to Knocked Up. Set in between the weeks where both intrinsically selfish characters turn 40 years-old, the humor of This is 40 often rings true but doesn’t necessarily always produce big laughs.

Much like Apatow’s last film, Funny People, This is 40 meanders its way through its more than two-hour running time (nearly always a bad sign for a comedy) by exploring the everyday lives of its characters with, at times, the barest structure of a plot.

What Apatow does deliver is a frank (and at times amusing) slice of life snapshot, with moments of hilarity, between a couple both going through their own mid-life crises while dealing with the demands of their children (Iris Apatow, Maude Apatow) and parents (Albert Brooks, John Lithgow).

New Transformers trailer further desecrates my childhood

  • Title: Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon
  • IMDB: link

I’m pretty sure Michael Bay doesn’t know the difference between robots and monsters. And that’s only one of my complaints with this first trailer for third movie in Michael Bay’s reimagined version of the Transformers franchise. Shia LaBeouf returns (with Victoria Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley standing  in for Megan Fox) for Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon which has something to do with the discovery of Transformers on the moon in the 1960’s (which I’m assuming we used to reverse engineer the Walkman?), a pissed off Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen), and metal bugs and snakes attacking the Earth. Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, John Malkovich, John Turturro, and Alan Tudyk also star. Hugo Weaving returns as the voice of Megatron and Leonard Nimoy will voice Sentinel Prime. The further desecration of my childhood will begin on July 1st.

Jennifer’s got a smokin’ Body but no soul

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Jennifer’s Body
  • IMDB: link

jennifers-body-posterHere’s what I learned from Jennifer’s Body.

1) Academy Award nominated screenwriters are just as good at writing mediocre horror flicks as everyone else.

2) People should really stop giving Æon Flux director Karyn Kusama work.

And 3) Asked to do some real acting, and without Michael Bay’s lascivious ogling lens, Megan Fox (who isn’t allowed to straddle motorcycles in cut-offs here) isn’t nearly the same sexy siren her fans drooled over in the Transformers franchise.

The film isn’t awful, but it wastes what little it brings to the table by serving up a lukewarm TV dinner that fails to satisfy. Jennifer’s Body makes several errors on it’s way to Best Buy’s DVD bargain bin, some of which I’ve summarized below.
