Author Topic: Transformers 2009 (can't be bothered with the full title) Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-29-2009 02:15 AM                     The title did not suit the film. It was trying to mimic Revenge of The Sith type of title!! The good guys win in the end again so what is so revengefull! Anyway I enjoyed the film throughout. Not an oscar winning of course but fun 2 and something hours.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-29-2009 09:51 AM                        quote: Mike Blakesley I agree. A show for 1 person deserves the same treatment as a full house. Unless that person is Joe Redifer. The previous conversation I had with Joe was completely in jest. At my location we hold our presentation standards very high whether it's one whining ex-employee seeing the movie or an actual paying customer. Anyways, onto my review of this film: Cambridge Premier Cinemas, House 1, 3:30 pm show 06/28/09: Great Presentation. Not only did someone change the Xenon Lamp since the last time I was here - looks like they did a complete overhaul of the projector and the sound is much better. Making phone calls seems to help. I did not, however, like this film. I hope they are done with making Transformer movies. It was about a half an hour too long. The preview of "The Last Airbender" was the best thing about watching that film yesterday.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-29-2009 12:17 PM                        quote: Dennis Benjamin Unless that person is Joe Redifer. Completely agreed! If I am the only one there, I should be made to run it myself.  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 06-29-2009 03:57 PM                     Terrible movie, but at least I did't spend any money to see it. If I hadn't wasted my time watching it I would have been watching Mariano Rivera get his 500th save and first RBI, so I'm not upset at all... There was one funny line that I laughed at the rest of the night. It was the line about the tight shirt. I don't know why it was so funny to me, but I see far too many guys that do that and I chuckled again and again. I was surprised at some of the content given the age of the customers that have been going, the pot references and language mainly. I realize it is PG-13, I just wonder if some parents will finally get that they should look at what the rating is and why before they bring their 4 year olds.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-29-2009 11:12 PM                     I accidentally saw 2 minutes of this today while checking a projector. Words cannot describe the sheer stupidity of what I saw. 0 out of 5 stars (as expected)  |  IP: Logged Anslem Rayburn Master Film Handler Posts: 476 From: Yuma, AZ, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 07-13-2009 05:03 AM                     Well, apparently enough of us heathens and low lifes enjoyed it, just like the first one. It's holding up okay, and has grossed in excess of $300 million again. Can't wait for the third one! quote: Mike Blakesley Right. We get the occasional movie that's played-out after three days. (With "Shaft" it was one day.) That makes for some long nights, lemme tell ya. The worst I ever recall is "Free Willy 3." I was working as manager and projectionist at a 4 screen at the time, and it played for 5 days to a TOTAL of 6 or 8 people. We just opened "The Brothers Bloom" this past Friday, and Tuesday is it's last day here. Same time as "Free Willy 3," but it had far more people. Not that exceeding 8 people over 5 days is a real achievement...  |  IP: Logged
