Cool VS Stool - Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Transformers: Dark of the Moon – Enough lens flares to make J.J. Abrams jealous.

If you loved Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, you’ll love the latest installment in the Transformers franchise. But what does it mean for a sequel when the director doesn’t even like its preceding film?

“It was kind of a mess, wasn’t it?” Michael Bay told the LA Times in reference to Revenge of the Fallen.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

Who wins this battle?

Deathstroke (DC) - Taskmaster (Marvel)

Cool VS Stool - Green Lantern

Green Lantern - $300 Million of Green!

Today, Warner Bros. releases its first super hero film since last summers colossal flop, Jonah Hex. But unlike Jonah Hex, Green Lantern is actually worth seeing.  

Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) plays Hal Jordan, the overly confident test pilot who is ironically reluctant to take on the mantel of the super hero, Green Lantern.  Reynold's performance is what you would expect: sarcastically funny, endearing, and... well... heroic. With rock-hard abs, a defined chin, and perfect line delivery, Reynolds is the ideal comic book hero.

Cool VS Stool - Super 8

Super 8, combining E.T., Cloverfield, and The Goonies.

Paramount releases its 3rd "summer blockbuster" this weekend with Super 8. This film brought out the big guns with Exec. Producer Steven Spielberg and Writer/Director J.J. Abrams. Abrams, an accomplished screen writer (e.g., Armageddon, ABC's Lost), is perhaps most known for his 2009 directorial take on Star Trek.

The film pays homage to what I can only think was Abrams' childhood with dreams of becoming a film maker, and obviously to E.T. and Close Encounters.The title refers to the use of a "Super 8" video camera. The film is the story of a group of middle schoolers who inadvertently witness an Air Force train wreck while making a film with a Super 8 camera, and the subsequent happenings there after.
