grim22 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 #17 Spoiler 17. Transformers starring Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox written by Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman, story by John Rogers and Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman directed by Michael Bay IMDB synopsis: An ancient struggle between two Cybertronian races, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, comes to Earth, with a clue to the ultimate power held by a teenager. What is there to say? This is — by most accounts — the best of the franchise, and it’s something you either love or hate. Producers Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto originally developed the property. When Spielberg signed on as an executive producer, he suggested the focus should be “a boy and his car”. Screenwriters Orci and Kurtzman, who were big fans of the cartoons, liked this idea. Bay initially turned down the offer to direct, because he felt it was “a stupid toy movie”. But he wanted to work with Spielberg and was convinced to come on board after a visit to Hasbro. Tomatometer: 57% Random critic comment: “What keeps Transformers watchable is LaBeouf and the computerized effects, which are often startling. When Sam's Camaro muscles up into the Bumblebee bot, it's like watching every boy's fantasy of his first pair of wheels.” — Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor Random RTM comment: “I love this so much. It is probably a crime to love a movie like this so much like I do. Why are the sequels so inferior to this?” — CJohn 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 #16 Spoiler 16. Atonement starring Saoirse Ronan, James McAvoy written by Christopher Hampton, based on the novel by Ian McEwan directed by Joe Wright IMDB synopsis: Fledgling writer Briony Tallis, as a thirteen-year-old, irrevocably changes the course of several lives when she accuses her older sister's lover of a crime he did not commit. When ATONEMENT came out, reviews were generally very positive and it seemed poised to be a big Oscar contender. None of that came to fruition and I think generally speaking the movie’s reputation has diminished a bit over time. Nonetheless, it’s very strong technically — with an infamous 8-minute tracking shot at Dunkirk — and is another movie with some very passionate support (and some haters as well). Tomatometer: 83% Random critic comment: “Director Joe Wright and screenwriter Christopher Hampton not only blow the Merchant-Ivory dust off the British period movie, they transform Ian McEwan's interior novel into a sweeping epic that speaks to the 21st-century soul.” — Lou Limerick, NY Post Random RTM comment: “Great and emotionally charged movie. I still think about the ending today.” — TheMovieMan 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
