LOS ANGELES: Summer box office sales narrowly hit a new record in North America, with a little help from an angry memo written by ‘Transformers’ director Michael Bay. The filmmaker in May accused Paramount Pictures executives of fumbling the marketing campaign for his June 24 release ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”Right now we are not an event. We are just a sequel, which is very different,’ he wrote in the missive that was leaked to the media.

Fortunately for both parties, if not for the overwhelming majority of critics who eviscerated the big-bang spectacle, Paramount’s marketing plan kicked into high gear and the movie became the top draw at the summer box office in North America. Read the rest of this entry »

There was a slight hiccup when someone started the film 15 minutes before it was meant to start so they stopped it ten minutes in and then restarted it again at the actual time. This actually was not annoying at all because it gave me a chance to look at the background details. Mid-20th century Paris is beautifully rendered and early 20th century New York is given gritty charm with a primary setting of an apartment over a pizza parlor.
Now I know it was an advance screening and everyone was excited to be there, thus much more prone to laugh, but honestly, this film had brilliant moments of humor in it.
