Movie fans, rejoice: the Summer is finally here, and it's bringing a slew of anticipated movies along with warmer temperatures. Since school's out, we've got plenty of kiddie fare like Jim Carrey's Mr. Popper's Penguins, but there's also a couple of potential blockbusters (Green Lantern!) and indie fare as well. Which June movie release are you most excited about?
Since it's May, I've kicked off my Summer movie preview series. After talking about the comedies, it's time to focus on what are usually the biggest blockbusters of the season: the action films. From superheroes to sci-fi to fantasy, I have the scoop on the action movies that you'll most want to check out in the next couple of months.
We've seen a couple of teasers for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, but now there's finally a full-length preview to ogle. Don't expect much in the way of dialogue, though: this preview is mostly made up of explosions and a perfectly made-up Rosie Huntington-Whiteley showing off her best "concerned" face. We're also able to glean a bit more in the way of plot: this time, the Deceptacons are going for the jugular with a terrorist attack, led by a giant, spider-size robot. It's all very Michael Bay, as shots of the air and land attacks are interspersed with Shia LaBeouf yelling for Autobot leader, Optimus Prime.
The film opens on July 1, but you can see the trailer when you read more
From Breaking Dawn Part I to The Hangover Part 2, this year has already broken records for the number of sequels heading to theaters (27!), and there are plenty that you're excited about. But it also means that you have some brushing up to do! Do you remember what happened in the last Scream film over ten years ago? How about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Now's the time to start planning your movie nights, so you can catch up on the franchises before the new ones hit theaters. Here's a quick rundown of the ten biggies to check off your list!
Now this is more like it! The original teaser for Transformers: Dark of the Moon definitely left us feeling a little disappointed (Apollo 11, really?), but this latest promo is more of a crowd-pleaser. First of all, there's Shia LaBeouf! The actor makes an appearance this time around, alongside his new lady Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. But the real star of the preview is definitely the action. Take a peek after the jump.
Say so long to 2010! The year is coming to a close, and as such, we've been reminiscing about some of the memorable entertainment happenings that the year had to offer. But before we let go of December, let's take a look back at some of the things this month had to offer, too. From new movies to buzz-worthy trailers and jaw-dropping TV episodes, there were plenty of entertainment goodies to keep us talking. Just check out this sampling!
When I noticed that the first teaser for Transformers: Dark of the Moon was out, I got excited for a glimpse of Shia LaBeouf vs. the Robots, round three. I would have even settled for a montage of explosions and pointed looks set to epic music with no dialogue. Unfortunately, the preview doesn't have any footage of LaBeouf, or any of the franchise's major actors. Instead, it's two and a half minutes explaining what "really" happened when Neil Armstrong and Apollo 11 landed on the moon. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where the trailer is going: apparently Armstrong actually discovered the first transformers and never told anyone about it.
Obviously, the premise is absurd, but nobody's expecting realism from a Transformers movie. What I was hoping for was something to get me preemptively excited for a film that won't hit theaters until next Summer, but this trailer is a letdown. Maybe I'm being too harsh though; check it out for yourself and tell me how you feel about it when you read more
Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley laughed between takes while filming yet another very intense scene for Transformers 3 in LA yesterday. Their path of destruction has brought them everywhere from Washington DC to Detroit to Chicago. It's quite a first movie experience for gorgeous leggy Rosie, though she'll be transitioning back into model mode tomorrow when she joins the rest of the Angels at the big annual Victoria's Secret fashion show in NYC. We'll be there, so stay tuned and check out our sneak peek at Adriana Lima's jaw-dropping opening look and interview about sneaking candy into her diet. The VS girls are easy on the eyes, to say the least, and Rosie's costar Shia showed off his own impressive physique during a shirtless moment on set recently. Shia had an evening off last week and was spotted backstage at a Drake concert amid news the actor will be hopping into the director's chair to make a short film with good friend rapper Cage and Kid Cudi.

Things got intense on the set of Transformers: The Dark of the Moon in LA yesterday when Shia LaBeouf was momentarily shirtless as he changed in order to shoot in front of a green screen. Shia's costar Patrick Dempsey was also on hand to film, though last night he was on the small screen for a special documentary-style episode of Grey's Anatomy. Shia's spending his downtime doing his thing solo since his split from Carey Mulligan, who seems to be rebounding nicely with her fellow Brit Tom Sturridge.
Shia LaBeouf changed out of his work clothes, kicked back with a book, and sipped on a drink outside an Illy coffee shop in Washington DC yesterday after a day of shooting Transformers 3 in his familiar yellow Camaro, alien Autobot Bumblebee. Production moved to the capital earlier this week, though filming was halted for a few hours on Monday when one of the stunt cars collided with a police vehicle. He could be brushing up on politics while spending time in the city as he's rumored to be interested in portraying a young Karl Rove in an upcoming drama.
