Bottle Shock got mostly good reviews.

Eliza's in that too, isn't she?

I would like to see Montreal wiped up by a horde of enormous dachsund puppies.

Shouldn't it more properly be destroyed by a rampaging mob led by Zombie Maurice Richard?

Yeah, ED's a hot bartender. She was good in it...not much of a part but she was funny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Roger Ebert, the universe slam Michael Bay's Transformers sequel in early reviews

So just how bad is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? The reviews are already pouring in, and they're not charitable. (The movie opens in the United States tomorrow but is already screening in the United Kingdom, Japan and elsewhere.)

Perhaps most scathing is the Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Ebert, who writes: "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination."

As of Tuesday morning, the movie was scoring 31 percent on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer—and falling.

Oh, now I know where I recognize Bay's name from, here, and from Vince Chase's ice cream headache face about Aguaman 2. Even with Medellin, homeboy still dodged a bullet.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I read a number of early reviews of Transformers last night. Many of them were positive but quite a few mentioned a pair of bots and their resemblance to Jar Jar Binks .

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The Transformers sequel is two and a half hours long? WHY? WHY?

“Not dead yet!”

They needed room for Megan Fox's ego?

Oh my poor DH - not only does he have to sit through Transformers, he has to wrangle 3 13-year-old boys hopped up on candy and soda.
