Transformers the Movie 20th Anniversary DVD

I picked up the Transformers Movie 20th anniversary DVD. I have an older DVD of the movie and one time when I worked for a web design company, about 6 years ago we would have movie day once a month where we would have pizza and a movie. We watched Transformers The Movie on movie day and everyone loved it. It is a fun movie and also a tough movie to watch because they kill off Optimus Prime. That was tough to take as a kid, Optimus was the best Autobot, why did they have to go and kill him off? It was a sad time.

The 20th Anniversary DVD has many great extras in it. It is worth picking up to refresh your Transformers knowledge before the live action movie comes out in 201 days.

Bond, the new Bond

Today I went to see Casino Royale at the AMC in the Mall of America. What an awesome movie. From the moment it began to the end it was an edge of the seat thrill ride. The action scenes at the beginning of the movie were incredible and I didn’t really miss all the gadgets. There were also some great nods to previous Bond movies. Daniel Craig did a superb job as Bond. He played Bond less of a character and more of a person, if that makes sense. He was a much more real Bond than we have seen before. Very different from all the rest but when he said he was Bond, James Bond I believed the heck out of it. Yep, Bond is back and in a big way. I really enjoyed this movie and I think that if you are an action movie fan / James Bond fan you will love this movie.

I am part of the AMC Movie Watcher’s club and if I wanted I could have gotten as many $1.00 hot dogs as I wanted because I bought one of the popcorn packages. And when I bought my ticket I got a coupon for a bag of M&M’s for $1.00 if I made any other purchase. If you go to AMC movie theatres it is worth signing up for the club.
