First The Dark Knight. Now Transformers 2.
Michael Bay is directing key scenes of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with that massive, beautiful IMAX camera. Nice. I suppose he’ll be even more impossible to work with (so I hear).
Others are following suit, too. Jon Favreau is talking about it for Iron Man […]

Today’s featured DVD in Jane’s September Contest Slam is a great film from 2007 that I dearly loved:
