Transformers: Age of Extinction

I hope Transformers movies are extinct. One was nothing special, Two was forgettable, Three was the worst, and Four was so boring I left the room before it was over. (We Redboxed it. If you haven't noticed, we don't go out to the movies that often anymore. It's called "a one-year-old.")

I'm glad it had Marky Mark in it instead of Shia Lagoofed. But did it have to be three hours long? Did it have to be boring? HOW DO THEY MAKE BORING ACTION MOVIES?

Yes. Optimus Prime rides a robot T-Rex, and it's still dull.

Better yet, HOW DO THEY MAKE BORING ACTION MOVIES ABOUT GIANT ROBOTS THAT CAN TURN INTO CARS AND DINOSAURS, WITH FRAZIER AND STANLEY TUCCI IN THEM?

Seriously. How?

I guess it doesn't matter how awful the movie is. People eat it up. Just do me a favor and talk about this the next time you want to talk about a dumb franchise, and let Twilight take a break.

Blended

I went to the RedBox to rent the newest Transformers, whatever it's called, Age of Extinction, I think, but ended up renting Blended instead. Lately I've been entertained by stupid, easy, has-been-starred movies. Was it exactly the same as Just Deal With It? Yep. But who do I think I am? Am I an edgy film student who can't be bothered with movies that aren't "films?" Maybe I once thought I was, but that was ten years ago. Now I'm the tired mid-thirty-year-old mom who wants a few silly laughs before a ridiculously early bed time. Who has the time or energy to invest in quality filmmaking? Just shut up and watch a dumb, harmless movie. Okay, to be fair I do hate on a lot of movies, when this post kinda reads like I love all of them. But brain-dead Adam Sandler movies at least have comedic moments, when a lot of other movies don't. I just don't take myself too seriously that I can't relax, untwist the "pan ties" (you have to watch the movie to get it) and enjoy a stupid movie every once in awhile... or often.
