The meals are not only deliciously and eloquently prepared, they are also extremely well portioned with large servings to satisfy even the biggest of appetites. From the soup and salad to the delicious appetizers and meals, the Spaghetti Warehouse offers a generous selection of lunch and dinner specials. Most of the lunch entrees and many of the dinner favorites are under ten dollars. The Sicilian Sampler is the perfect choice for true Italian lovers, and their garlic butter could easily be labeled as the "Food of the Gods"! There is a vast range of forklift accessories presented on the market to enable people to accomplish particular tasks in a safer and more efficient manner. www.AllForkliftParts.com This is a one day course designed for those already licensed and wishing to extend their skills and licence in order to drive another category of machine. Forklifts generally carry the building equipment along with other vital tools to construction sites.Cordovahttp://edwinxzuq.livejournal.com/816.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3693339829397265611.post-19841555198664361832011-07-26T07:17:31.369+01:002011-07-26T07:17:31.369+01:00Excellent review!

I kept meaning to read it because I had the unique experience of walking into the Transformers movie thinking I was going to see X-Men, sitting through it for all of ten seconds, and having my friend grab me and drag me out going "IT'S TRANSFORMERS! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" So there was that. As much as I love nonsensical violence, I'm just...the logics holes...what are cars doing in space?...really?...I can't...my brain. With that said...dammit. Your review of the second half of the movie is suddenly making this toy-driven franchise tempting. I may have to actually rent this one, purely for the testosterone fix.M.

I hav...Who can resist a bit of "Bayhem".<br /><br />I have to say that Bay's notion of what constitutes as feminism is way off. His story is robots... destruction... special effects... hot chick... cameo appearance by serious actors doing something silly... hot chick... slow motion shot of exploding civic locations... totally odd humour scene... crazy camera work... hot chick... the end, though with hint of sequel.Movies on my Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728634451204645148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3693339829397265611.post-3584598031254914532011-07-07T02:41:11.749+01:002011-07-07T02:41:11.749+01:00I still haven't seen this one.

It was such fun to write. <br /><br />I knew we'd disagree on Rosie. Perhaps she'll get some acting lessons between now and her next job. :) And I do agree that the first was certainly the best. There was a magic there that has been lacking with the subsequent films.<br /><br />@Matt Thanks! Somehow with the nostalgia factor, it was easy to set aside my general derision of Bay and enjoy the ride. <br /><br />I'm so glad you are interested in seeing a companion piece. There is so much I'm dying to share, but i didn't want to stuff it all into this review.

His command of the action is superb. <br /><br />The nostalgia aspect played a big part for you, and there is nothing wrong with that. I would have loved to see this scale of action in person. The filming of this movie sounds epic (the final product, in terms of visual composition, is EPIC), and I'm sure you will cherish those memories for a long time. And like my colleague, Craig, I'd love to see the companion piece :)FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3693339829397265611.post-48746944066611058662011-07-05T13:33:14.093+01:002011-07-05T13:33:14.093+01:00Although I totally disagree with you about Rosie, ...Although I totally disagree with you about Rosie, I have to say this is my favorite movie review of yours, Mel. It's written with such a passion and enthusiasm, it's a true joy to read. Fantastic job, hon!<br /><br />The first movie is still the best of the three in my book, as I fell in love with Shia's character, and was literally blown away by the CGIs and the transformations in particular. It was like nothing I've seen before. The destruction of Chicago was one of the most spectacular things I've seen in a movie, and the action sequences in the second half were nothing short of jaw-dropping. You're truly lucky you can watch your former work place being destroyed. I bet you had a blast! :) Regarding Rosie, I reckon she did a good job despite her lack of acting experience. Plus, she's so hot, I couldn't take my eyes off of her.George Beremov [Nebular]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15136154142341512854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3693339829397265611.post-24333905997020290642011-07-05T04:53:46.093+01:002011-07-05T04:53:46.093+01:00I have never been enraptured by this particular po...I have never been enraptured by this particular pop culture phenomenon, as I think it came around a wee bit after my time. Consequently I missed both movies so far - and likely won't be seeing this one either - but I'm very glad you managed to have a good time with - and gave it an entirely fair review - warts, plot holes, and all - which is a rare thing for a reviewer to be able to do on a Summer Blockbuster like this - terrific review - and if I ever did watch, I'd like the MB commentary version - so you can keep me posted on the geographical tidbits you hinted at!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3693339829397265611.post-2453306591659145102011-07-04T21:53:29.693+01:002011-07-04T21:53:29.693+01:00I pretty much agree with you on every point.

And what was Shockwave up to? He seemed to just show up randomly. I honestly can't remember what happened to him either. The Decepticons got the shaft in all three films though, so I shouldn't be surprised.Jay Bellhttp://www.jaybellbooks.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3693339829397265611.post-38189351401557030802011-07-04T21:52:02.260+01:002011-07-04T21:52:02.260+01:00oooh, love the pics you used to illustrate the pos...oooh, love the pics you used to illustrate the post, Melsy :)<br /><br />I watched just the first film and I'm not a fan of such flicks, so I gave up after that one, but I do think that the big key in the success of the third part in cinemas is the fact it was released during the holiday weekend.DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3693339829397265611.post-23688632358604701212011-07-04T20:44:40.330+01:002011-07-04T20:44:40.330+01:00It had issues, but when you see a Michael Bay film...It had issues, but when you see a Michael Bay film, you know what you're getting.
