Pure. Popcorn. Entertainment. That's an exact classification of director Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The action is nonstop, with battles and explosions from start to finish. The camera (without any subtlety) exploits Megan Fox's hotness to the max. As if she weren't enough, a new sex kitten (Isabel Lucas) is thrown into the equation. Shia LaBeouf is as charismatic as ever, and fills the starring role with ease. And then there's the humour. Sam's parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White) provided some semi-raunchy laugh-out-loud moments in the first movie, but now they take it to the next level. Sometimes it seems like they are trying a little too hard, but it is still hilarious. As far as the plot goes, the writers didn't waste much time--it's really just a context for the giant-robot death matches and dramatic slow-mo sequences. The movie kicks off two years later where the Autobots have formed an alliance with the U.S. government, creating an elite team led by Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel), in an effort to snuff out any remaining Decepticons that show up. The bad guys keep coming, and it turns out that a much more menacing force than Megatron is out there--and it is looking for something on Earth that is tied to the very origin of the Transformers race. Fans of the franchise will be delighted by the addition of many new robot characters (there are well over 40 in the sequel, versus only 13 in the first). The second Transformers has shaped up to be one of the worst reviewed and most successful movies of all time. This strange pairing is really just an indication that this movie has one purpose: to entertain. The creators didn't want to waste time bogging down the action and drama with substance--which was arguably a good decision. --Jordan Thompson

Part action film part documentary 'Red Trousers' explores the lives and careers of some of the world's most undervalued professionals: the stunt men and women that contribute so much to Hong Kong cinema. Director Robin Shou a familiar face from 'Mortal Kombat' explores the ups and downs of this risky business; while much stunt work around the world (particularly in Hollywood) is created via special effects and computer animation Hong Kong action films rely on the bravery and skills of actual people. Stunt men and women working in Hong Kong films may perform purer much more dangerous stunts than their American counterparts but they are sometimes treated more or less as props and all-too-often given little or no medical attention... Difficult situations life-threatening work and gruelling training (even during childhood) are just some of the darker aspects of stunt work that Shou is keen to highlight. While the perks of such a career are seemingly nonexistent the men and women here find great joy in knowing that some of the greatest moments in films would not exist without their artistic contributions. Winner of the Outstanding Achievement In Filmmaking Award at the 2003 Newport Beach Film Festival 'Red Trousers' features an illustrious list of contributors.
