The Transformers are coming to the big screen this summer and the geek in us is freakin' out about the new movie. We can't wait to see if this movie lives up to our expectations. With Michael Bay behind the wheel it's safe to say it's gonna be hit or miss. Will it look like a 2 hour commercial or 'balls-to-the-wall' action flick?
FrenzyWhile we'll have to wait 'till July to find out the boys at Yahoo! Movies have released some new pics and short videos to help wet our appetite. We must say we were initially disappointed in Megatron and Starscream. Both look like they are in need for a serious paint job. We have a bad feeling that Starscream won't carry over to the big screen with his cartoon voice, either. That's a shame...

Die Hard 4.0 & The Transformers - John McClane vs. Optimus Prime
0 comments Posted by Dave and Thomas at 4/04/2007It's a little hard to keep up with John McClane in his newest Die Hard film. In the U.S. it seems they are sticking to the title "Live Free or Die Hard" which is just a little too cheesy for us. It is what it is and there's no hiding it's Die Hard 4. Don't get clever. Just call it that. Anyway, internationally it's being called Die Hard 4.0. A little better, but the version number seems a little outdated. That would've been real cool in 1999.
Anyway, if memory serves us right, the new Die Hard was going to open July 4th weekend, or thereabouts. It's now bumped up to June 29th no doubt due to the huge response of the Transformers which was scheduled for that date, also.
For Die Hard, the first U.S. trailer looked weak but for being a teaser we can accept that. The second, international trailer looked great with such FX as blowing up the U.S. Capital. Now, a third U.S. trailer has popped up, without the Capital blowing up, and looks just a little over the top.
There's now a jet plane with Harrier capabilities to fly around the bridges of N.Y. They should have skipped that and put more buildings blowing up. That's what John McClane's known for. Oh, and yes, that is Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats) at the end of the Die Hard trailer as a hacker.

While we're still on the fence about Die Hard 4, there's no doubt that the Transformers keeps looking better and better. The new trailers out show the machines actually transforming. We're sad the sound FX from the cartoon that happened when they transformed is out. Wha-wha-wha. Hard to duplicate in type.
