    President Obama and his Autobot Allies defeated the evil Decepticon forces lead by Megatron. Air Commander Starscream was quoted as saying "We knew the battle was over when Obama appeared on the battlefield and in the end personally ripped out Megatron spark." Optimus "The Hater" Prime could not be reached for comment.

    New York, July 7 (ANI): ‘Transformers’ director Michael Bay reportedly made Megan Fox wash his Ferrari, as part of her audition for her role in the film. Bay had called the sizzling actress to audition for ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ at his house. “He made her wash his Ferrari while he filmed her,” The New York Post quoted Jason Solomons having said in Britain’s Guardian. He added: “She said she didn’t know what had happened to that footage. When I put it to Bay himself, he looked suitably abashed — ‘Er, I don’t know where it is either.’” ‘Transformers:...

    Megan Fox is becoming known not only for her ravishing looks, but for the controversial statements that come out of her mouth during interviews. She’s come under fire for several statements she’s made in the last few weeks, including slamming Scarlett Johansson in Esquire for being “too smart.” Her latest rant was about Michael Bay, the director for the Transformers franchise, which, by the way, put her on the map. Megan slammed Bay, saying he focuses too much on special effects, and not enough on acting. Bay was quick to put Megan back in her place, telling the Wall Street...
  • 'Transformers': Worst-reviewed $400 million hit?

    LOS ANGELES - After just five days, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" is halfway to $400 million domestically, a box-office milestone only eight other movies have reached. If it climbs that high, the "Transformers" sequel will be by far the worst-reviewed movie ever to make the $400 million club. Critics and mainstream crowds often disagree, but "Revenge of the Fallen" sets a new standard for the gulf between what reviewers and mass audiences like. The movie pulled in $201.2 million since opening Wednesday, the second-best result for a movie in its first five days, just behind "The Dark Knight" with...

    Variety's David Cohen saw the latest "Transformers" movie --- "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" --- and filed this report on its reference to President Obama, but not, at least in his eyes, in a good way. Cohen writes, "So as usual in these movies, the federal bureaucrats are portrayed as annoying if not villainous. The President's man, "Galloway," is a bespectacled blowhard who becomes an obstacle to our brave fighting men and their alliance with the noble Autobots. In this movie, exactly one real-life politician is named: "President Obama." They went out of their way to make sure they named...

    A couple of years ago the television show “South Park” put out a 3-part episode entitled, “Imaginationland” that went on to win an Emmy. In the episode, terrorists have taken over our imaginations in Imaginationland and the US government enlists the help of some Hollywood filmmakers to help come up with ideas to help stop the terrorist. One of the directors they enlist to try to help them was Michael Bay. Michael Bay offers some great actions sequences which anger a general to say, “Those aren’t ideas. Those are special effects!” A confused Michael Bay replies, “I don’t understand the...

    When "Transformers" hit the big screen in 2007, audiences knew to expect a turbocharged bunch of feuding robots, backed by an arsenal of CGI wizardry. What they also got was the impossibly hourglass-shaped Megan Fox bending over the engine of hero Sam Witwicky's bumblebee-yellow Camaro. The mechanically savvy Mikaela still holds the crown as every robotics nerd's dream date. But starting today, she better watch out. In "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," she faces competition that comes with sweeter weaponry than the average Decepticon. Australian hottie Isabel Lucas joins the franchise as Alice, an alluring classmate Sam (Shia LaBeouf)...

    LOS ANGELES, June 23, 2009 – “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” hits theaters nationwide tomorrow as the culmination of more than a year of Defense Department support, ranging from script and uniform notes to C-17 aerial maneuvers and jumps from the Army's Golden Knights parachute demonstration team. The first Transformers film released in July 2007 used a variety of Air Force assets. In the latest film, DreamWorks and Paramount studios partnered with all four services to highlight America's military members and combat power on the big screen. Deciding how and why to work with the services was essential in making...

    Megan Fox looked like a Greek goddess at the Los Angeles premiere of Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. The actress made a stunning appearance last night at Mann's Village Theatre, but the words that tumble out of her mouth aren't quite in the same league. The 23-year-old American has amazed fans with her ignorance as she travels the world promoting her movies with red-carpet comments and magazine interviews.

    Would you believe President Obama called Michael Bay, director of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, "a big-ass director"? Neither would we, but the director insists it happened. And to return the favor, Bay put the new prez in his upcoming giant-robot movie. OK, not exactly: He put references to the real-life president into the story, including images on a few background TV monitors. But the message is clear: If giant robots fight on Earth, Bay wants Obama in the Oval Office. In a press conference Friday in Beverly Hills, Calif., Bay explained that he was inspired to put Obama in...

    Film Review: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen BY DAVID EDWARDS Two years after the eardrum-assaulting first instalment, Michael Bay's 'bots return for more decibel-laden carnage in this summer's first bona fide blockbuster. Big, loud and definitely not clever, it's a giant, lumbering idiot of a movie that, were it not for all the explosions, would send the most devoted action fans to sleep. With a yawning hole where the plot should be, a cast chosen for their looks rather than their acting chops and nothing to offer except stuff blowing up, what we have is two hours of director Bay...

    This sequel starts relatively modestly with the revelation that Transformers have been around since 17,000 BC (cue cavemen fighting alien robots), before switching to a less-nerdy-than-before Sam (LaBeouf) getting ready to go to college. Mysteriously, his supersexy girlfriend Mikaela (Fox) is still with him - though naturally neither can quite bring themselves to say the 'L' word. Sam accidentally touches a shard of the ancient Transformer technology and finds his mind flooded with hieroglyphics.

    Giant shape-shifting robots invaded the Antelope Valley this week as a production crew for "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" shot scenes for the action sequel at a Palmdale quarry. The crew arrived Monday and was slated to stay through today, filming at Service Rock Quarry, at Palmdale Boulevard and 75th Street East, and at Antelope Valley Aggregate on Avenue T in Littlerock. The quarry is doubling as an excavation site in an action sequence featuring a helicopter, pyrotechnic explosions, wind machines, debris and gunfire. "Transformers" crew members are occupying a large base camp with rows of trailers, trucks and cars,...
