Transformers Update

You may have recently seen the stunning trailer at your local cinema, and it's hard not to be somewhat curious. Even if, like me, you're not really into kid's toys and comic books, the sheer scale of the previewed action doesn't fail to grab your attention. The movie reveals a war between two robot armies - the Autobots (who protect us humans) and the malicious Decepticons. Both have the ability to transform between robot and vehicle forms. The film has already done well in the US, taking an incredible $152 million in its first week. You can see it in UK cinemas from 27th July 2007.

You can expect a full review on FilmCritique.co.uk in August.

Alvin and the Chipmunks Movie Revealed

After the recently announced Thundercats Movie, fans of 80's cartoons will be pleased to hear that another one is making its way to the big screen. However, if you take a closer look at the recently released poster (right), it suggests that the chipmunks' wardrobes have been fashionably updated to suit kids of the 21st century. I certainly don't remember them hiding their faces with teenage hoodies back in the 80's! Jason Lee plays the main role of David Seville while Ross Bagdasarian Jr. does the voice for Alvin/Simon and Janice Karman for Theodore. No plot details have been announced as yet, but you can expect to see the movie in cinemas just before Christmas (14th December) this year.
