The amazing effects of puberty.

Once again my attention is brought to the amazingly beautiful and eternally awesome Emma Watson. I don't know what happened to her but why don't we all turn mega hot when we hit puberty? Reading the Sunday magazine I became aware that, not only is it the greatest weekend paper lift out IN the world, but that I have a serious weakness for babes doing awesome stuff in films. Emma Watson as Hermione is one example of this. Liv Tyler in the Strangers. Rosario Dawson in Death Proof. Alexis Bledel in Sin City. Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. And yes, I have to put this out there, Isabel Lucas in Transformers 2.

I don't know what it is but there is something very appealing to me (and not just physically) of seeing a girl kick ass. Or perhaps its when a girl breaks the perceptions we have of her. Yes, that sounds about right. I can't actually pinpoint it, but I feel elation when a girl does something unexpected and seriously hot in a movie. And I won't lie to you, there will always be hot babes in my films. And they will always do something amazing.

So I saw Transformers 2. I don't know how I feel about it. On one hand, I can see the awesome CGI, the big battles and the mega honeys in the forms of Fox and Lucas but on the other hand I can see the plot-holes, useless characters and then I can't see anything on account of the cameraman seemed to have an intense strain of arthritis resulting in blurred battle and chase sequences. I wanted more amazing slow-mo battle shots like in the first film and less annoying minor characters ie. those two gangstabots.

Oh well. We can only hope they will get new writers for Transformers 3 (already in development) and 'deal' with the old writers appropriately. Perhaps their families too.

In other news James Cameron (Terminator, Aliens, Titanic) has a new film coming out in November this year. Avatar stars Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez and mega-honey Zoe Saldana and revolves around a new planet, an alien race and a love story. Check out the teaser here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGs3_1qKl34.

Cameron has said it will be a mix of live action and CGI effects like never before although Im sure they said that about the Polar Express.

And we all know how that turned out.
