As with Valentine’s Day, Garry Marshall returns to direct. Check out the artwork and what features will be available on the Blu-ray combo pack.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon is hardly the high point of action but I must admit that I actually mostly enjoyed this installment possibly because the previous sequel was so bad that it made this film look like Citizen Kane. In any case, once again the visual effects are incredible and the story was at least acceptable.
Life as We Know It provides some decent laughs here and there but the film as a whole doesn’t work all that well. The first problem, and is usually the nail in the coffin for the rom-com, is the two leads didn’t have much chemistry but the bigger issue for me was the foundation and set-up which made little sense so from that point on, I just didn’t become fully invested in the plot or characters.

Please do yourself a favor and skip this release. It bombed at the box office and rightfully so – it’s not funny, it’s not romantic, and the two leads have no chemistry. I was hoping Sylar (from “Heroes”) would come along and slice her head open, but sadly which the cancellation of that show it looks like he’s off doing other things.
