For the first five minutes of Transformers -- a sound-and-fury tornado of effects that could only entertain during summer's dumb-dumb dog days -- you will believe that bombastic blockbuster director Michael Bay was the right choice to helm the project. Peter Cullen, who has voiced heroic robot Optimus Prime since the original Transformers cartoon of 1984, explains the series' legacy as his velvet voice establishes this new movie's driving quest: The search for a hidden cube that is the centerpiece of an age-old war. Geeks will go crazy. read the full review | |

 | | 4. Next (HD) | | | Starring: Jessica Biel Julianne Moore Director: Lee Tamahori | | Format: High Definition DVD Release Date: 9/25/2007 |  | Next - DVD Review By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/26/2007 7:42 PM | | In Next, Nicolas Cage plays a character who can see into the future and adjust what he's doing to change outcomes around. As Cris Johnson says: "Every time you look at [the future] it changes, because you looked at it." It's just a shame that Cage himself doesn't have the ability to avoid some of the bombs of his career. While Next isn't necessarily a career high for Cage, it is entertaining enough to make up for some of his shortcomings - say, to balance out his career for The Wicker Man. read the full review | |

Agatha Christie wrote something in excess of 80 novels. Christie was a practiced and a brilliant mystery taleteller, a commercial writer who exploited her full and total grasp of the mystery genre to massive popular success. Each plot was intricately realized, no facet of the mystery introduced that could not be resolved. Such is the enjoyment of good mysteries: a confidence that although clues and complications have confused us for now, in the end the equation will make sense. We should not know the ending, but it should not be impossible to work out. Lost, 2004’s hit about a group of plane-wreck survivors milling about on a mysterious island, crashes and burns on its inability to handle the genre Christie had mastered. read the full review | |

 | | 32. Transformers (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Josh Duhamel Megan Fox Director: Michael Bay | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 9/2/2008 | User Rating: 5 |  | Transformers - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Matt Paprocki - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 12/24/2008 3:15 AM | | Way too long with numerous unnecessary scenes, Transformers is excess in the worst way. The Transformers themselves are a sight to see, but it’s difficult to make them out when locked in combat. The thousands of parts used to create them end up being a mass of metal. Still, it is funny at times and when the action is controlled it’s spectacular, but the entire thing feels like it could have been a lot more. read the full review | |

 | | 34. Knowing | | | Starring: Chandler Canterbury Nicolas Cage Director: Alex Proyas | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/10/2010 |  | Knowing - DVD Review By: Bill Gibron - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 6/26/2009 7:44 PM | |
In the list of filmmakers packed with wasted potential, Alex Proyas has to be near the top. While Dark City sparkled with a kind of surreal sci-fi magic, his other efforts -- including the gloppy Will Smith epic I, Robot -- have felt strained and unrewarding. So when you see his name attached to the lasted Nicolas Cage effort (said actor himself a perfect example of the law of continued diminishing returns), one fears a flop coming on. But as luck would have it, Knowing is actually very good. It proves that Proyas is perhaps one mainstream mega-hit away from finally fulfilling his so far unrealized possibilities.
