Everybody hold on to your butts, Michael Bay is getting all ambitious directing a somewhat interesting story here. It gets the job done.

Did you know that if you're a British young adult, getting into a foursome with beautiful ladies is as easy as going to a United States pub and meeting the ladies there. No bamboozles, I looked it up in a movie.

According to mythology, the concepts for Bug's Life, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo and WALL-E had all been brainstormed in the span of a single informal lunch meeting between top Pixar creators after having released Toy Story in 1995. Ponder the fact that the golden age of Pixar comes from a casual creative discussion and that now that the studio is a giant corporate machinery with lots of resource, they aren't up to this.

This movie, along with other examples like Speed (Speed is better, put your guns down), is an excellent action flick because 1/ It doesn't itself seriously at all and 2/ His rhythm is upbeat and just never stops. It's an uninterrupted flow of self-assumed idiocy and action. There is no dicking around. On the trivia side, they broadcast it on TV the other day, and I was surprised to found that the mid-movie advertisements contained a lot of products targeted to women. I assumed the film was targeted to a more testosterone-fueled audience. As it happens, after checking on its IMDb rating stats, I saw that the movie has a higher average rating from females viewers than from males viewers. It looks like Michael Bay, the man himself, with his Aerosmith romance between Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler, convinced not only boys, but even more effectively, girls. There is something spectacular in that.

First Pixar movie I ever saw, a VHS Christmas gift from my aunt when I was a child. I didn't count the number of watches. The nostalgia is high.

It's all fun and game until you realize the logic of the story is that the foolproof way to get a girl to fall for you is to punch the guy who is trying to rape her. This movie will be creepy in 20 years or less.

The lack of criticism towards Kubrick's filmography in cinephiles' circles is surprising me. 2001 opens to Zarathustra's fanfare, hard cuts from a bone to a spaceship, has a 10-minutes scene where a spaceship penetrates another over The Blue Danube, and finally demoes the last psychedelic technique from the special effects department. Apparently Kubrick is some sort of god so he must be applauded for assembling such a pile of pompous crap.
