The Transformers, robots in disguise. You have likely heard this promotional slogan more times than you can count lately. The Transformers were very popular more than 20 years ago and they have definitely made a comeback in 2007. Those who were skeptical that the new Transformers movie would be able to compare to the episodes of the 80’s were very happy to admit they were wrong.
The Transformers ended up being one of the top grossing movies of 2007 and the upcoming release to DVD is expected to be very high as well. Most of the Transformers were the same as in the cartoons but the main exception in the area of new Transformers is with Bumblebee.
Most of us loved this fun spirited and dedicated Autobot that transformed into a yellow and black Volkswagen Beetle. Yet he shines in the new Transformers movie as a Camaro. First as an older model that could use plenty of work and then as a brand new Camaro that resembles the 2009 models that can be ordered but haven’t been released yet. While this was a big risk for the production team, it is one that went over quite well with the lovers of the Transformers.
With the buzz going around about the success of the new Transformers movie and the soon to be release of it on DVD, there is even more good news. There is sequel in the making right now that should be out in 2008. While the plot of the movie is being kept top secret, you can be sure it will be very interesting and action packed just like the first Transformers movie. In the mean time I have something that will help pass the time while you what for it to be released.
Watching the new Transformers movie really made many people miss the old episodes of it they watched growing up. Many of them shared stories with younger generations about the various episodes they remember watching of the Transformers. Well, now you can do more than just remember those old cartoons or tell others about them.

Latest DVD's
The Bourne Ultimatum is the kind of movie that redefines the term 'action-packed.' In the final episode of the Bourne trilogy, Matt Damon resumes the role of ex-CIA agent Jason Bourne and headlines a film that manages to be superior to the first two excellent parts of the series.
Ultimatum picks up right where The Bourne Supremacy left off, in Moscow, but within minutes the movie jumps from Paris to America and then to a thrilling action sequence in London.
The movie focuses on the amnesiac Bourne as he searches for answers to his past and identity, all while evading CIA agents led by Noah Vosen (David Straitharn). Unlike the other two films, Bourne receives some assistance in Ultimatum, from rogue CIA agents Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) and Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles).
Though the film moves at a dizzying speed, the action is always highly original and entertaining. These electrifying sequences range from a stealth battle in Madrid to a lengthy pursuit in Tangier to a bone-crunching car chase in the middle of New York City. A feeling of danger is omnipresent, even the non-action scenes have a risky, ominous tone which makes up for the often monotonous dialogue and gives more excitement to what might otherwise be rest breaks for the audience.
This non-stop movement doesn't leave the movie without a soul, as Director Paul Greengrass (United 93, Bourne Supremacy) does an excellent job of showing Bourne as a deep, human character and not just an invincible super-spy.
Like in United 93, Greengrass uses shaky camera movements and close-ups on actors during the action sequences to successfully bring the audience into the scene and add a level of brutality to the combat.
Though none of the actors can expect Academy Awards for their performances, there were no performances that dragged the movie down. A few actors, notably Damon and Allen should be commended for managing to display any emotional depth in such a furiously-paced film.
Ultimatum is a fine ending to an outstanding series, as all of the loose ends are tied up without making it feel tired or cliché. Also, unlike many sequels, this movie leaves the audience wanting more films rather than wishing that the studios could've just let the franchise die.
It would not be a stretch to call Ultimatum the best movie of the summer, as it is certainly the best action movie in years. From the first exhilarating moments to the breathtaking final frames, The Bourne Ultimatum is a pure adrenaline shot and a roaring good time.
Final Rating: 4 out of 4 stars
