He does have a slo-mo shot of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley with her back to exploding cars in DOTM. My point is that the shot was definitely a wink at the audience.

The movie is, as Bay describes it, about a train wreck. You have to be in a mood for a tragedy. I'd compare it in tone to Natural Born Killers.

But they got a head start on the opening weekend,...

The only two things that seem awkward about Armageddon to me is how the AJ/Grace romance is an afterthought and how Billy Bob Thorton's screentime is limited. But both of those things have been...

The ads were misleading, depicting it as a buddy heist movie. That may have contributed to the low CinemaScore from people who were expecting a good time. The film is a dark, bitterly funny character...

You took the words out of my mouth regarding comparisons to Fight Club. Like Fight Club, it's not just a satire of the absurdity of criminal action, but a satire of American culture in general. Also...

I'm pleased to see there's no grudges being held here. Remember: he gave good reviews to The Rock, The Island, and Transformers. And even his review of the first Bad Boys gave Bay credit for...

I'll hold on making a prediction until after it becomes clear how they intend to advertise it, how Michael and the stars promote it in interviews, and yes what kind of reviews it will get. The bottom...

Congrats to Affleck for the Argo win. He has come a long way since he played AJ in Armageddon. It's worth remembering that even then he had directorial aspirations: according to the DVD commentary he...

Yeah, just relax, hang out and you'll meet someone to talk to eventually. Everyone who goes to a night spot is looking to have fun and socialize, it's just a matter of finding the right place. As for...

I hope he had a chance to relax in the middle of a very big workload and spend time with loved ones.

Side Effects. Good Hitchcockian thriller, with a fine return to form from Jude Law as the lead, and Rooney Mara not hard too on the eyes. Not great by any means, but entertaining.

I'd like to see him do either another hard Sci-Fi thriller like The Island or a serious military drama like the ones the Scott brothers used to make: Crimson Tide, GI Jane, Black Hawk Down, etc. It...

Nice that Mike can poke fun at his bachelorhood, but that could have used some more jokes about his movies.

I remember on one of the Oscarcasts Bay was featured as one of the voters during a behind the scenes look, and he was quoted as saying he takes his voting very seriously.

Especially since it's a smaller film. I hope Bay will do a lot of interviews when it comes out, since his decade long gestation of it is a story unto itself.

It's impossible to tell the true tone...

How could anyone be expecting a "Black Hawk Down" style film anyway? The details of the raid make it clear it wasn't much of a fight, but a nasty piece of work. Children were present, a woman was...

Bayhem, I think critics do matter to some extent in maintaining interest in a non-children's film that's more than 30 years old. Children movies like classic Disney, The Sound of Music, Wizard of Oz,...

I agree with him that The Rock is his best movie, and I hope it'll stand the test of time just by containing Connery's last good action role (Finding forester his last good performance). I also agree...

What do people think of 48fps? In The Hobbit I had the same problem I do with interpolation on TV. Yes you get more immediacy and intimacy with the actors, but it still has the feel of being drunk.

Bay is a friend of Spielberg, so I'm sure he's happy for him. I'd say he's probably the front runner, but we'll know after the DGA awards since there's usually a strong correlation.

And also not only in America. It's the most watched telecast in Japan.

Les Miserables. Good if you like weepy sentimental musicals, but I was nodding off halfway through. I kept thinking of that line from Seinfeld "Just die already! Die!"

Looks great. All of Bay's usual camera angles and colors, except a drama instead of an action movie.

Yes! I love that nonverbal ending sequence, and the way it returns to the boat. The Island is a close second to The Rock as my favorite Bay movie. It's the only one of his films that unveils the plot...

Cheers for the cameo guest star of DOTM.
