Robots vs. cyborgs

Josh & Matt are calling out Transformers 2 as a contender. It has the action and effects to stand out. If it brings the same humor and heart as the first one, it’s got a chance.
P.S. I added a link to an excerpt of Kim’s new Once Dead Twice Shy to the page. Check it out!

Revenge of the Fallen is most definitely a contender. We’ve been itching for this new Transformers installment since the end of the first one! For all of it’s faults [of which many can easily be listed, though I refuse to take the time to do so here]…it’s actually a great blockbuster movie. And if Michael Bay can make Shia LaBeouf a palatable “action star”? Then he deserves the credit he’s due!
I will undoubtedly love the ST reboot more, because of Karl Urban as Leonard “Bones” McCoy [he made me heart that movie so much!]; yet, I, also, know I will be at a midnight screening of T2:RotF because: robots! Hello, robots!
