OK is anyone else as disappointed as I am that a second Transformers film is being made? Now I understand that people are entitled to their own opinions and all that, which is fair enough but to a true lover of the art of film making both the first installment and as I’m positive the second are/will be absolute shit.

Transformers was basically a brainless, plot-less, pop- corn action flick to appeal to simple minds (no offense). Although it did achieve that goal, considering it was Michael Bay who directed I don’t expect much from him. There was no substance in this film and it was basically a 2.5 hr commercial.

Transformers 2. My God what a poor attempt at a script. Predictable, petty and simple, kind of like Michael Bay. Audiences can only really expect one theme to be carried out in this film, revenge. Kind of like Arnold in most of his action flicks expect done with more style flair and better CGI. Why they are making this film I don’t know, how much product placement will be shown this time, probably a lot more then its previous counter-part.

Either way if you’re interested in a movie with substance, a good story and a powerful execution then this isn’t worth your time, otherwise knock yourselves out!

Hi there, this will be about a few new movies that are being released soon. Firstly though Tropic Thunder was kick ass! Saw it on monday, yeah baby!! outstanding movie, great acting by Downey Jr and Cruise as always, funny story, good twist, definitely worth a watch. OK now onto these new movies which are being released,

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor- this has SHIT written all over it, just another useless part of a franchise, to be honest the franchise shouldnt have been made in the first place but oh well people gotta make money some how….. i say dont waste your time and money, i know i dont want to see Brendan Frasier act like an eccentric retard, ive got better things to do and geez the story i mean come on a blind monkey could think of something better.

Quantam of Solace- this looks fucken amazing! im glad that the Bond franchise is taking an exciting and interesting new turn, and the fact that they’re actually following the novels is refreshing, this looks action packed with a good story and seems like Daniel Craig pulled the character perfectly off yet again..

Babylon A.D- really am looking forward to this, should be a big hit, story seems solid for those who don’t know what it is go to imdb.com and take a look. Good to see Vinny back in a good old action flick this should be pretty kick ass!

Death Race- OK I think throw up is a good way to describe what this will be like, to be honest I dont really even feel like downgrading this movie cos its shitness speaks for itself, keep away from this one folks.

Now onto something else, the movie Watchmen based on the graphic novel which is also called Watchmen surprisingly enough DUH! may not be released due to legal issues. The judge has denied the motion for WB (warner bros) to dismiss the lawsuit Fox has against them for the rights to the whole film. This is indeed grim news for Watchmen fans all we can do is hope itll work out and Fox will refrain from being tight money grubbing fuckwits for the salvation of this film.

That is all for now……

I would like to stress the importance of story in a movie. I was having a discussion with a mate who shall remain nameless about the importance of story in a movie. To the wider audience, the naked eye, story has barely any meaning to them what so ever. This saddens me greatly because people miss out on the meaning of a movie and only enjoy it for its big stars and special effects. What’s funny is that the actors they see up on the big screen play characters which are an integral part of a movie. Story itself though receives no appreciation, its like it has no value. Screen writers spend a hell of a long time writing screen plays so that you the audience can have some sort of enjoyment out of a film. Story is the essential key between a movie being absolute rubbish and oscar gold. The first 15 minutes are there to key an audience wanting more, keep you suspended.

Anyway I wont speak anymore of this, I just hope that next time you go and watch a movie you can appreciate the story for what it is and try to see that there’s a deeper meaning behind movies then explosions, special effects and big hollywood actors.

How do you go about uploading videos onto this blog site? It won’t allow me to do so.

Well this would be the first blog entry of the official Martin Odwazny blog page. Considering this is a big part of my assessment here i am posting an entry. Anyway i’ll leave the excitement for the next few blog entries, toodles for now.
