So terrible in fact, it's hilarious. The plot is so absurd that it was kinda enjoyable. Let me list some of the things in the actual movie:

Actual Things in The Plot

• The main characters are a mother/daughter team who take a road trip to a ghost town (because in the daughter's dreams she is called there of course). The ghost town is actually an alternate world where everyone's already dead – but apperenty their cell phones can reach the other side, although its pretty staticy
• In the ghost town, every hour or so, sirens sound and "darkness" comes where mutants appear out of thin air and come into town to terrorize and kill anyone wondering around. After about 20 minutes of terrorizing, they disintigrate into thin air and the sun comes back out.
• it is raining ash all the time due to underground coal fires that have been burning for 30 years. But the ash is either from that or the mutants who come out b/c after an hour or so of terrorizing the people, they burn up
• Immediately after entering the spooky ghost town, the daughter runs away from her mom. The mom then goes around trying to find her and rescue her . To help her the daughter has left clues within the different buildings in the town that the mom – doing good detective work – finds.
• There are bad guys (who knows who they are) wearing fumigation suits and masks (note: nobody else does and nothing bad happens to them). These guys go around town with metal pipes killing humans as they believe they are "sinners" or something like that.
• There's a mutant guy with anvil head and huge-ass 20 foot knife who commands an army of cockroaches.  He comes with "the darkness"
• The main character (adopted daughter) is adopted by the main family but coincidentally she looks exactly like another young girl who died 30 years ago who was killed because her mom wouldn't tell the town who the father was. Because of this apparent sin the people of the town decided to burn the girl in a bonfire they made inside the middle of the church. If you're going to build a bonfire to burn people, you might want to do it outside 
• Every women in the film has huge boobs and a really tight shirt – even the mutants who have no heads, they have big boobs. I thought it made them even scarier. 

As a kid, my favorite toy was transformers. I loved them. What a genius idea to instead of making something half robot have man – make it half robot / half car. Awesome. And if you're a bad guy, you half-robot / half plane or gun.

After a good 20 years since the last transformers movie, they're making another one. Although this one isn't a cartoon and it isn't just for kids. With "I'll blow anything up and make everyone look as cool as possible but with the worst dialouge" Michael Bay at director, Steven Spielberg as hands-on creative producer, and some big name stars signing on, this movie has the makings of being fantastic. Just announecd this past week is Shia LaBeof, Michael Clarke Duncan, Jon Voight, Bernie Mac, Tyrese, John Turturro, Megan Fox, Travis Van Winkle (who was on an OC episode this year), and John Robinson (guy from Elephant – the worst movie ever). I don't think any of these guys are playing the actual transformers, but rather the people who interact with them.

I couldn't be more excited for this movie and i wish they'd bring back the toys too. It seems like the kids of today don't have heros and villans as cool as rotots turned cars and with great names like Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Omega Supreme.

Update (4/23): Not 8 hours after i posted this, the site Ain't It Cool News posted an article about a sitdown they did with Michael Bay about the movie. Apparently it'll be the first movie to every show the new F-22 jet that can hover. All in all, it still sounds like it's going to be sweet.

Update (5/9): IGN (here) has more news and some actors have been confirmed , such as Jon Voight, Megan Fox, Bernie Mac, and Josh Duhamel. Filming begins soon to be ready for next summer.

It first establishes "True Lies" as the best action movie of modern times, then goes on to say that first time director JJ Abrams (from Alias and Lost) is The MAN.

This weekend i saw the very-indie film Lonesome Jim. Afterwards, to bring myself back into the mainstream, i went and saw Basic Instinct 2. The movie is just what you'd expect – totally absurd but with an extremely hot Sharon Stone. Say what you want about BI2 being pretty lame, but as far as hotness goes – it completely delivers.

Some interesting things about this movie:

• Sharon Stone signed on to do the movie with a rare clause that allowed her to get paid whether the movie was made or not. That sounds pretty sweet. Someday i hope i can command such terms for something. "Yes, i will agree to build you a doghouse someday, but you must agree to pay me whether or not i actually build it."
• As with many thrillers, they lead you down one plot path, then yank it out and reveal another possible killer at the last moment. BI2 leads you down one path for a killer (Stone), then reveals another (the detective), then another (the ex-wife), then another (the main character). And at the end, you don't even know which one did it – and even worse, you get the idea that none of the characters in movie knows who did it either. It just ends. Who's genius idea was that?
• Since when did 48 year old women become so hot? The last time i heard someone talking about an older actress is Faye Dunaway – and i don't remember her being particularly smokin'
• I saw the movie Broken Flowers (with Bill Murray – which i didn't like) last year and Sharon Stone rocks in that movie too. Overall, I think she's pretty underated as an actress. When looking back on BI2, I don't know many actresses who could be in such a bad movie and make it rather enjoyable.
• The first scene in the movie has Stone masterbating in a car while driving over 100 mph. While that was cool, i thought the car they showed was totally awesome. Doing a little research i found that it is a car called Spyker C8 Laviolette which are made by hand by a Dutch company (called Spyker). The car uses the Audi V8 and V12 engine and goes about 300 mph. But mostly, it just looks fantastic. Oh, and she ends up crashing into the river on climax.
