‘Transformers’ is actually less than meets the eye
Tweet Those of you who were fans of the animated series could end up just as disappointed as I was by Michael Bay‘s live-action version of Transformers. It wasn’t necessarily a bad film but it certainly wasn’t as great as all the hype made it out to be. The story takes place on earth as two alien clans, the Autobots and the Deceptacons, are continually fighting in a war for the Allspark (as if I had to retell a tale like this).

Since then, the show has evolved into my favorite summer guilty pleasure with eye-candy abound. Though there have been new twists in the game (the Power of Veto), new architecture in the house (the addition of a second story and HoH suite) and new houseguests to compete (hotties like Kaysar from BB6 and BB7), the show remains the most real of reality tv. Unlike most reality shows, which are completely at the mercy of their editors, Big Brother offers something different: a live internet feed from inside the house. … Read entire article »
