Transformers 2: Revenge of The Fallen (From http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1055369/)

Transformers 2 received many reviews, here are a few:

The Good:

'293 million at the box-office. I have never heard of a movie that was so highly anticipated getting such bad reviews. Usually movies that make "that much money" are well received.'

The Bad:

I went to see this movie today with my two best friends. The three of us aren't what you would call conservative or anything, we really don't care, and we LOVED this movie by the way. But back to the point, the two scenes we hated and were 100 percent un-necessary, were the scene with Fox on the motorcycle with WAY too short shorts where you'd see her arse for a much too much long amount of time, and when they were breaking into the museum and the man (can't remember his name ha-ha) ripped off his pants and you saw his ass and his crotch. That was totally gag worthy.

I know the scene with Fox probably disgusted me more because I am a girl, but it was pretty **** insulting anyway.

Oh, and, the museum scene was horrible anyway because this is supposed to be an almost FAMILY film. I know there were worse parts, but that was just sick.

And The Ugly:

Most people before me have said this already. This movie stinks. When I heard that Michael Bay was at the helm of the first Transformers movie, I was very worried but then by some fluke of nature he actually managed to pull off a watchable movie, perhaps because he was kept on a tight leash by the studio.

This debacle of a sequel is another story. Bay must have been given full power over this one due to the success of the first. Big mistake. This guy can’t make a decent, realistic and entertaining movie. He makes action/soft porn trash. A good script, story or dialog are just inconvenient afterthoughts for him and it shows. He probably thinks he can distract the audience away from these gaping holes by adding a lot of nonsensical action and unfunny humour.

Sorry Mr. Bay you can’t fool people all the time and the people who grew up with the transformers absolutely hate this movie. I heard that you didn’t want to make the first movie because you didn’t even like the transformers but you became very keen for the sequel after the first movie made so much money for you. Here’s a tip: lay off the third and let a real director and a real team make that one for us because you have just totally trampled on the transformers legacy.

Hmmmmmm.

Getting Past a First Date (Taken from Reader's Digest August 2008 Issue

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 08:46:47 +0100

Ever wonder why he never phoned again or why she won't return your calls? Perhaps your first date behaviour needs fixing. Here are 5 amazing tips:

1) Dressing for failure. Wear an outfit that's comfortable but flattering, neat and scrupulously clean.

2) Making it all about you. People usually list all their personal attributes as soon as they sit down. Instead of going on about yourself, ask your date some questions. And avoid sprouting off on religion and politics.

3) Forgetting your manners. Show up on time. Turn off your mobile phone. And don't flirt with anyone else- save that for a night out with the guys (or gals).

4) Focus on the positive. Don't vent about the stinker of a day you've had. Keep your focus on the positive things that are going on. It's easy to laugh it up at a comedy show or a funny movie.

5) Stress out. Remind yourself that you are not doomed if it does not go well. The more relaxed you are, the more confident you are, and the more attractive you will be.

How to look like Zac Efron ( From http://www.wikihow.com/Look-Like-Zac-Efron )

Steps

1. Grow out your hair and a fringe, so it's down to the tip of your ears and so that the fringe hits the tip of your eyebrows. (go to a salon, bring in a photo of him from a magazine and just ask for that kind of style!)

2. If you have blonde hair, just dye it medium brown. If you have black hair do the same, add in some blonde highlights (optional) as zac has done this a few times.

3. Zac has thick eyebrows! grow your eyebrows if you can, then tweeze them on both sides.

4. Zac has nice teeth. Make sure your teeth are clean, white, and straight. *Hint: Use Crest Whitening Strips.*

5. Make sure you're very muscular. Work out like 3-4x per week. Be sure to have a hydrated drink, like water. *Water cleanes your skin.*

6. Zac Efron has a nice californian healthy tan, use fake tan, or the sun of course.

7. Dress well. Zac shops in places like Urban Outfitters and Modern Amusement for his casual day clothes (usually check shirts with rolled up sleeves, diesel skinny dark blue jeans and white converse -- example) and some nice suits for the red carpet and nike for gym clothing.

8. Have clean skin. Use body wash that's for men (Gillette Body Wash) so you can smell nice.

9. If you have pimples or pores...? Use Neutrogena or something to get rid of it. (NO SOAP: Soap dries up your skin)
