Sorry it took so long...

I bought a big-screen a couple months back, so my latest venture had me perusing the DVD section at Record Archive to pick movies with the best graphics. I bought 300 of course because of the sheer brilliance of the piece. I really love the dominance of computer animation fused with a slow motion touch that built up the tension of the film. Of course, the movie hailed based on real life events, but as the common person knows, to build up a legend, one needs to exaggerate here and there. After all, if true life was always told without a build-up, then it would never be as exciting as fantasy can offer.

Next, I purchased Transformers which is a movie that may have amazing graphics, but the storyline is mediocre at best. That Disney channel kid, Shia LaBeouf, seems to be making his escape from his status of middle-class child actor with each progressive coming of age film, and this is no exception. The graphics on the machines is amazing and the plot could be even duller, but I would remain excited to see what else a computer can make a car do... :)
