Transformers 3:Dark of the Moon The Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the Moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and learn its secrets, which could turn the tide in the Transformers' final battle.
Ok, one tiny spoiler. In Transformers 3: Dark Side of The Moon you will see the MOST gratuitous ass shot ever put into a non porn movie. It goes on and on for no apparent reason. Michael Bay dick’s just can’t seem to understand that we are there for the robots. The ass shot is just as pointless and stupid as the shot of Megan Fox practically humping that motorcycle.
The storyline for Transformers 3: Dark Side of The Moon is the best so far. It is well written and Shia LaBeou is amazing. The movie has parts that made me laugh and parts that made me cry. When we were leaving I heard a woman ask, “Why do people clap and cheer in movies? The actor’s can’t hear them.” Yes, I am one of the ones that clapped and cheered. I hope the day never comes that I stop clapping and cheering. When I am 85 and our soldiers (101st Screaming Eagles in this case) and/or Optimus Prime shows up to save the day I will clack my false teeth if I am too weak to cheer.
Note and spoiler for Whovians. You will notice the main storyline manipulates time (The Time Wars) and is very, very similar to Doctor Who: The End of Time the last episode for Ten.
The downside of the movie.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is exquisitely beautiful but the collagen in her top lip is distracting it changes to duck lips and back. She runs, climbs and falls off buildings in stilettos more of Michael Bay directing with his dick the shoes are ridiculous.
The main battle scene is again way too long and sometimes it is difficult to know who is winning and who is losing.
COMPLAINT: Two robots died that shouldn’t have. Michael Bay could have easily brought them back after the credits but he is dick wasn’t involved so he didn’t.
Transformers 3: Dark Side of The Moon is great fun! Go see it! If you can see it in 3D, even better.

After missing for four years, a Baton Rouge son, Nicholas Mark Randal (Marc-Andre Grondin) suddenly reappears and tries to reconnect with his fractured family. Local FBI agent Jennifer Johnson (Famke Janssen) realizes the details of his sudden appearance don’t quite add up. As pieces of the mysterious puzzle fall together, an unveiled past reveals deep and dark secrets.
Based on the book “Le Cameleon: L’invraisemblable histoire de Frederic Bourdin” by journalist Christophe D’Antonio, the film details the true life story of Frederic Bourdin who travelled for years under false identities searching for the love and affection he had never been given as a child.
The film, directed by Jean-Paul Salome is a very raw look at not only the extraordinary life of this experience liar, but also a gripping and often heartbreaking look at a family that is struggling to come to grips with the return of a family member they thought was gone forever. Nick Stahl, Nick Chinlund and Brian Geraghty all round out this very believable and relatable cast.
THE CHAMELEON opens in theatres on July 8, 2011.
An excellent supporting cast including Ellen Barkin and Emily De Ravin as the mother and sister coming to grips with trying to fit Nick

AMERICAN GHOST HUNTER is a compelling new documentary that has been in the making for over 20 years. Filmmaker Chad Calek who has worked with Steven Spielberg and has directed episodes of A&E’s “Paranormal State” wanted to make a documentary about the hauntings and possessions that have been plaguing his family since he was 12 years old. He enlisted the help of friend and “Paranormal State” star Ryan Buell and the two got together a crew to begin this massive undertaking.
Calek’s family moved to Persia, Iowa when he was 12 years old and as his father was recovering from being badly burned in an auto-shop fire. Almost immediately, paranormal activity began in the house. Banging and unexplained noises would happen all over the home and Chad and his brother would run up the stairs while hugging the wall to avoid the bad feelings they encountered in that area of the house. Calek’s mother would have unexplained “spells” where she would start speaking in strange voices and thrashing around. She was being pinched and having her hair pulled by unseen forces, which the family captured in photos from the time. When Chad moved to California, he thought that he had escaped the haunting, but it continued to be unfinished business in his life. He wanted to go back to his childhood home and document what had happened to get some closure to something that he thought was in the past. What he found was shocking and led him to places he never thought he would go.
The documentary is important not only as a paranormal exploration, but as an exploration of spirituality and family and the importance of confronting and making peace with one’s past. Even those who are not fans of the paranormal or who consider themselves “skeptics”, will find that the true story of Calek’s quest is so much more than a ghost story. The film documents in a very raw and emotionally graphic way the journey that Calek and the film crew go on in their search for the truth. Watching it at times feels a bit invasive, as this man’s whole life is laid out on screen with full disclosure. You can feel the Calek family’s pain as these events have destroyed each of them to some extent over the course of these past 20 or more years.
AMERICAN GHOST HUNTER is a very brave film and one that delivers messages of both hope and healing in the guise of telling a good paranormal story. The film will be touring in cities around the U.S. for the next month and tickets can be found at www.aghthemovie.com.

Stars Chad Calek and Ryan Buell from the hit show “Paranormal State” convened in an unassuming ballroom at the Las Vegas Flamingo Hotel and Casino for a night-long stop of the first leg of their tour to promote and screen their latest documentary, AMERICAN GHOST HUNTER.
The Las Vegas Hilton has long had reporting’s of hauntings, and the ghost of Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel is often reported around the hotel and its grounds. What better place to host this unique “ghost” experience?
The evening began with a meet and greet experience where attendees could get photos and autographs with the stars and meet some of the other members of their respective paranormal teams. Members of Chad’s American Ghost Hunter team Joe, Justin and Mary Beth and Ryan’s PRS team member Sergey were all on hand to greet fans. All of them were of paramount importance to the making of this project and attendees got to know them all better throughout the course of the evening.
On this cross-country tour, one of Calek and Buell’s main goals is to keep these events intimate enough for fans to feel the appreciation that they both share for everyone that has supported them. “This film demands real conversation and intimacy to share ideas and thoughts. I want to connect with my fans and supporters in an intimate fashion that expresses how much I care about them and how valuable their time is to me”, says Calek.
The program began with Calek running an hour long presentation of some of the most compelling evidence that his team has come across over the years. It was an in-depth perspective that most people never get to experience. Guests were able to ask questions on the evidence presented and gained insight into different aspects of paranormal investigating. With the recent interest in people trying their hand at ghost hunting, this was invaluable and priceless information.
The second program featured “Paranormal State” star Ryan Buell presenting and explaining some evidence from cases that his PRS group has investigated, including some that were prior to the show being on the air. Buell also added his own tips for those seeking to do their own paranormal investigations.
Prior to the screening of AMERICAN GHOST HUNTER, Calek and Buell gave a short talk about why they chose to make this documentary film. While the A&E Network, which produced “Paranormal State”, offered to buy the documentary and back it, both men felt that taking the documentary and turning it into 2 “Paranormal State” episodes was selling the story short. Calek has been dealing with this activity since he was 12 years old and his family moved to Iowa. His family was plagued with escalating paranormal activity including his mother’s bouts of possession. Turning that experience into a 40 plus minute television show really didn’t interest him. He would have to give up control and would ultimately have no say in how his story was told. Buell agreed and the two decided to produce and distribute the film on their own terms. And it is working.
After the screening, a stunned and visibly moved audience was able to ask questions of the producers and share their feelings about the documentary. Buell says he wanted to “make the entire movie-going experience an ‘event’, rather than just purchasing tickets, seeing your film and being rushed out of the theatre for the next group standing in line.
AMERICAN GHOST HUNTER – The Tour is definitely a one of a kind experience and one that should not be missed by anyone who is interested in paranormal investigating or just those who want to see a really well made documentary film with a compelling story. The tour will hit 41 cities in the U.S. with stops in New Orleans, Phoenix, San Antonio and Los Angeles as well as a planned European and Australian tour in the future. Tickets and more information can be found on www.aghthemovie.com.
