Transformers: Age of Extinction

Transformers: Age of Extinction
Hasbro Studios etc.
June 27, 2014
Sci-Fi, Action
DVD
D+


The cliched sideplots were relatively more interesting than the title characters/ situation.  Michael Bay directed, eighteen years after The Rock.  (Yes, I'm surprised I haven't had the chance to reject more of his movies in this project.)

So I Married an Axe Murderer

I saw and, to my surprise, liked this movie over twenty years ago, when it was still relatively new.  Now the '90sness adds to its charm, especially that soundtrack!  And it's set in San Francisco, and I used to live in the South Bay, so there's a certain nostalgia to that.  And then there are the cameos, including Steven Wright as a prop-plane pilot!  So I can forgive the unevenness and plot holes and just enjoy all that, and the still funny and still sweet moments.  Not a great movie, maybe even at the time, but still delightful.

Thomas Schlamme directed.  Note that the third and final disc of this "Laugh Out Loud" collection didn't load, but at least I got to watch this again.
