If you haven't seen this movie yet and you're considering any movie this week, I recommend going to see Transformers as soon as you can. This has been a pretty good movie summer so far. I have enjoyed a lot of movies already and I'm still looking forward to a few more, but Transformers absolutely blew me away.

I'm just a little too old to have been a part of the original Transformers frenzy, so when I first heard about this film I wasn't excited at all. But then the trailer arrived and I saw effects that were so cool that I started to change my mind. I went to see Transformers in Beach Haven, NJ last week in a small family-owned theater. The screen was okay and the sound was good, but I'm still going to see this movie again this week at a digital projection screen. I want to get the 100% experience of the effects.

It's a fun -- and a very funny -- movie. It's the kind of show that you just keep talking about after you've seen it. My brothers, my wife and I spent a lot of time talking about our favorite parts, the funniest lines and the overall story for hours afterwards. Then, coming back to work, I found myself having the same conversations again with my co-workers. I personally think this is going to be the most talked-about movie of 2007. It's just great fun.
