If you’re one of those people who need a fix before the new movie comes out next year, this will do, but realize it’s much more like the traditional animated series for kids

Autobots Assemble! I can’t tell you how many times I’m gonna be saying that from now until Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. News on filming and what to expect this time around.

You wake up and begin your morning ritual of going to the bathroom, brushing your teeth, pouring some coffee and then checking your email. Before you can check your email though, you must approach the six foot ten Optimus Prime in your living room and transform him into your computer. I will give you a second to think about that.

Don’t ask me what I was doing driving through the middle of Pennsylvania this weekend. Those picturesque hills and lakes, surrounded on all sides by, well, nothing. I only found out recently that the highway could have been swarming with giant robots from outer space that shape shift into all kinds of terrestrial vehicles fighting a galactic battle of good and evil right on top of my Ford Explorer.

The man behind shows such as “Gossip Girl” and “The O.C.” is coming to the silver screen not with a teen rom-com filled with angst, but with mutant kids attending Xavier’s academy for the gifted.

Recently, Neil Miller and I had a chance to interview director David Gordon Green while he was in town promoting his latest film Snow Angels. Soon, the conversation turned to the entropy of a Neil Miller discussion of film…. Michael Bay.

What happens when you take two things that are totally cool, and combine them into something that you can use on a day to day basis? Other than my Macbook Air Mr. T edition, the only thing cooler could be a Transformers iPod Dock.

As the seasons turn, my love for Michael Bay and his “awesome” movies continues to blossom, and with that comes the never-ending search for all things Bay. My psychologist says that this is an unhealthy obsession, that is causes me to spend too much money on Transformers schwag and that it has cost me relationships, but it is still better than that whole Miley Cyrus incident.

So cool, they almost caused an accident on I-35N in central Texas. Oops.

So the Academy Awards are over and even after last weeks explosion, I’m still angry.

Shia LaBeouf is at the point right now where he could do no wrong, and his films carry about the same odds of being a blockbuster as me never getting to bed Jessica Alba.

With only 3 nominees for Best Visual Effects, this should be an easy one to pick, right?

It’s a surprising shortlist for the best visual effects Oscar this year, with some startling inclusions and some even more startling omissions.

What makes a DVD release great? Anticipation of the release? Maybe. Really cool packaging? Without a doubt.

In 2007, our cinematical heroes kicked a fair amount of ass and I had the pleasure of compiling the best of the best for your viewing pleasure.

Yes, it’s time to look back at Spidey, Johnny Depp, Michael Bay and everyone else responsible for the Biggest Box Office performances of 2007.

Aside from keeping things organized around here, I am also obligated as the Editor to give you my picks for the Ten Best Films of the Year. So let’s do this thing!

Nothing says cool like the moment when all of your childhood fantasies come true and you make a bid on eBay for a real life Peterbilt untransformed Optimus Prime replica.

Steven Spielberg joined Stacey Snider, Dreamworks’ co-chair as they had lunch with Universal’s Jeff Zucker (CEO of NBC Universal Television) and Ron Meyer (President & COO of NBC Universal Television) for a quick bite to eat. I wonder what they had?

If you haven’t heard of Diablo Cody, screenwriter of the Toronto Film Fest hit Juno, that can be forgiven. If you haven’t heard of Megan Fox, then there is nothing we can do. Either way, you may soon know them together along with a movie called Jennifer’s Body.

The blockbuster hit from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures, Transformers, is the year’s top-selling week one DVD with North American sales reaching 8.3 million units since the title’s debut on October 16, it was announced today by Paramount Home Entertainment.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down and be guided through the hottest DVD of the summer, that is, of course, the HD-DVD Transformers. If you missed this $650 million dollar roller coaster, hello and welcome back from your coma. The team behind this DVD are calling it the “signature DVD of the year” and let me tell you something. I agree.

If you are still wondering why you should be excited about today, you need to get a clue. Today is the day that Transformers, the biggest movie of the summer that wasn’t another crappy sequel, drops on DVD, and HD-DVD, and Special Edition DVD and various other versions.
