Well, I wasn't the most excited by the prospect of this, the series has been good so far, but not really my kind of film...
...until I saw this.
This is what blackbusters should be like.

Eagle vs Shark
I can't wait for this to come out on DVD. There are so many jokes in this geek rom-com. The characters aren't pretty, sometimes not even likeable, but they are so well played they are hilarious.
There are so many jokes and so many great little touches that I want to see this again and again. It might not be the best film I've seen all year, but when it is this bloody funny, it doesn't matter at all.
8/10

The Simpsons Movie
It isn't a movie, it is just an episode stretched to 90 minutes.
However, it is a good episode, so I'm not complaining. I just think that they didn't really expand the Simpsons in any way in this film (apart from length and widthways).
I actually saw this film again the very next day after I had just seen it and still laughed all the way through it.
It is a good laugh - 8/10

Transformers
Lots of money was thrown at a script with an uneven tone and lack of plot.
The money didn't help.
I wasn't impressed. I didn't think the effects were worth the money spent on the film and to be honest, I got bored. I wanted the film to end.
A film with bloody big robots fighting each other shouldn't be boring.

Hairspray
I really enjoyed this - I had a big grin on my face all the through it.
It has a bit of a story and even a message to get across - but it doesn't let that get in the way of entertainment.
Yes - entertainment, a word that many of the big summer films have completely forgotten is important.
My only question - what the hell is John Travolta's accent supposed to be?
I hope we see some of the cast back in other musicals soon - there were some terrific performers.
I was singing some of the songs for days afterwards - 7/10
