MOVIE REVIEW: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (PG-13)

WARNING: THIS MOVIE IS FULL OF SEXUAL CONTENT AND PROFANITY!

STORY:
The Autobots and a group of humans have created an organization called NEST, that tries to destroy all the Decepticons on Earth. Meanwhile Sam is going off to college, and tries to have a normal life there but of course something goes wrong. Megatron's master; The Fallen has risen once again and will stop at nothing to destroy Earth.

POSITIVE ELEMENTS:
Optimus still tries to protect the humans, while he's fighting the Decepticons.

SPIRTUAL ELEMENTS:
nothing

SEXUAL CONTENT:
There is a girl named Alice that Sam meets in college, and that's when the trouble begins. She tries to seduce Sam, but since Sam already has a girlfriend it doesn't work. When that doesn't work, she straddles him on his bed and starts kissing him. Then Alice reveals a metallic appendage that snakes out of the bottom of her dress (we see Alice's underwear) and later out of her mouth (her tongue is still attached to the end). She's a Decepticon with rather freakish intentions. Then there's Mikaela who is still wearing short shorts and cleavage-bearing tops throughout the film. And while she's trying to get Sam to say the he loves her, she takes off her motorcycle outfit and reveals that there is a skimpy dress underneath. Sam's college roommate has posters of girls that are hardly wearing nothing. There is an robot named Wheelie that is very...odd...

VIOLENT CONTENT:
The violence is not as bad as in the first movie, as they focus more on the faces of the robots while they fight. The humans fight with machine guns, while the robots are too busy cutting each other up with their knives to care. Later Megatron and a 'doctor' droid starts to give Sam brain surgery, and the 'doctor' goes into Sam's brain before it's stopped by Optimus.

PROFANITY:
They say the F-word once, but Mikaela says it almost inaudible. We also hear a bunch of barely disguised f-word variants, including "freaking," "frigging," "frick" and "eff" And one of the characters starts to say mother------- but is stopped right after he finishes saying mother. They also say the s-word a lot as well. They also say the b-word about three times.

OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS:
It is revealed that one of the characters; Simmons wears a thong. Leo walks out of a bathroom with his pants down (but boxers on) and asks a security guard for toilet paper (a ruse to lure him from his post). Leo also gets tasered in an interesting place twice. Jetfire seems to burp a parachute.

CONCLUSION:
I can't recommend this movie to anybody, Even those people who liked the first one! I give this movie a 0 out of 5 stars.

MOVIE REVIEW: Men in Black (PG-13)

STORY:
There is a shadowy organization called the Men in Black, who take care of all the aliens that have landed on Earth. While they're welcoming a new arrival, a giant bug alien lands and eats the inside of a farmer's body and goes along inside the farmer's body.

POSITIVE ELEMENTS:
The Men in Black (aka MiB) always use a memory eraser to make sure that the civilians don't remember the aliens. and start a worldwide panic. And even though Agent J could easily quit the MiB, he keeps fighting these aliens. The MiB only use their weapons when necessary.

SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS:
At the end of the movie, (SPOILER) there are some aliens playing marbles with galaxies making some people believe that they're gods.

SEXUAL CONTENT:
It looks a doctor is pointing to her skirt and saying "I'll let you look under there." to Agent J, but actually she's pointing to underneath the table with the alien underneath it.

VIOLENT CONTENT:
The whole movie is full of aliens get blown up, with their blue blood ending up everywhere. The alien that's inside the farmer, threatens to kill the doctor with a gun. The alien kills two aliens in human disguise, by stabbing them in their necks with his sharp tail. The alien kills a person who kills bugs, and he kills him and sticks him on the ceiling with green goop.

PROFANITY:
The s word is used quite a lot of time and they say damn sometimes, but that's the worst of it.

OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS:
Agent J calls K & Zed 'old guys' to get their attention, and the farmer before he gets eaten yells at his wife.

CONCLUSION:
I would recommend this movie only to mature teens and adults. Even though it was full of hilarious moments, it would have been better if the movie didn't have all the swearing. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
