Movies: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Trailer

I think it's hard to nail down a true "favorite movie".  For me, this was constantly changing based on the last movie that I had seen.  I think it is easier to name favorite movies by genre - say, favorite drama, favorite action movie, favorite comedy, favorite chick flick - that kind of thing.  However, if I were hard pressed to make an absolute decision, I might, just might, say that Transformers, from summer 2007, might be my favorite movie.  I don't even know how many times I've watched this movie.

And I don't know how many times I've watched the trailer for the sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, coming to a theater near YOU on June 24, 2009.  (My favorite scene: starts around 1:15.)  I cannot wait to see this movie.

I do have to say though: go away, Megan Fox.  And please, Michael Bay, cut the cheesetastic line, "Megatron wants what's in my mind".  Please.

And in case you were wondering, some of the other movies that round out my favorites: Gladiator, Love Actually, 300 (The Boyfriend's all-time favorite - we saw this movie in the theatre 4 times), Ocean's 11 and Ocean's 13, Singin' in the Rain, and My Fair Lady.  I'm sure there are plenty of others, but that's what comes to mind.

So, what about you?  Are you going to see this movie?  What are some of your favorite movies?

Movies: Sherlock Holmes Trailer

As revealed earlier, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is one of my all-time favorite books.  I was pretty excited to hear that Guy Ritchie would be filming an adaptation of this movie, which is slated for a Holiday 2009 release.  They have released a trailer for the movie, and I cannot wait to see this one!

Just as some background, I love movies.  I once dated a guy who had some magical movie pass that allowed us to go to the movies for just $1 each, so we were at the movies pretty much every weekend, and I got to see tons of movies.  The Boyfriend and I used to go quite a bit, but we hardly ever go at all now.

Just today, The Boyfriend told me he was sick of the movies...because we've gone twice in two weeks (Wolverine and Star Trek).  Before that, we hadn't been since Christmas, when we saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.  We do, however, own a lot of DVDs - almost 400 at last count - so we have movie night at home...if we can decide which movie to watch.  Luckily, summer movie season is upon us, and it's looking to be a pretty good one!
