About That Transformers Rise of The Beasts Ending and Easter Egg.

-

Released in May 27, Transformers Rise of the Beast is another franchise soft reboot slash prequel, which was met with less than favorable critical reception.
Despite cool CGI battles, great voiceovers from Colman Domingo, Michelle Yeoh, Peter Dinklage, Ron Perlman and the legendary Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, Rise of the Beasts shares the same problems as the previous Transformers movies..flawed writing.



Some Spoilers, so beware!

The story of how "one person can make a difference " (regarding Noah played by Anthony Ramos) is very tiring as with a few other cliches that I found problematic.
Pete Davidson’s dialogue as Mirage was cringe inducing and to top it off, he gives Noah (whose name is possibly a callback to the Autobots' ship, the Ark.) a device that turns him into "Iron Man." 
After saving the world from Unicron as well as Optimus Prime, who comes off like some Edgelord who swings his battleax like Conan, Noah is being interviewed by a potential employer who out of nowhere, is familiar with what went down in Peru and revealed that his "company" is a Global Intervention Joint Operated Entity, get it? 
Now while the ending was used to bring our "Real American Heroes" back into cinema, it would make more sense to have the characters from M.A.S.K., salvage the parts from both the  Predicons and Decepticons then retrofit them into "transformation" vehicles as a means to battle the Decepticons and other world threats. Since Hasbro owns all three franchises so, why not throw in all three toy line factions into a series of sequels that will further establish the Hasbroverse?


Rise of Beasts has had its share of a few clever retro callbacks from Movie quotes, to needle drops. One In particular, may have slipped under most viewer's radar, while flying inside the Autobot Stratosphere, in cargo plane mode, Noah and Elena (Dominque Fishback) are shown sitting in the same placement as Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine during the ending cutscene from 1996's Resident Evil. What makes it more of a coincidence is how Elena is sitting on the right and leaning on Noah's shoulder...just like Jill and Chris.


Said scene comes off as a small homage to Capcom's popular Survival Horror PlayStation game which of course, was released during the mid-nineties, close to Rise of Beasts' setting. 

Transformers Rise of the Beasts is now available for digital purchase or rental.

The Oscar's is soon approaching and while this year's 55th Academy Awards will take extra precaution due to a silly incident, let’s not forget how the hypocrites from the American Academy of Motion pictures and science, awarded Director "Raping" Roman Polanski for 2004's The Pianist as best picture. As of recent, one of Polanski's biggest fans, Harvey Weinstein has received an additional 16 year sentence for rape and sexual assault but prior to his scandalous trial, which more than 80 women made allegations of sexual harassment and/or rape against the infamous producer. But prior to these allegations, leading to his sentencing, Weinstein formed a petition for the release of notorious Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski who drugged, raped and sodomized a 13-year-old girl, as a result became a fugitive from the U.S. criminal justice system, since 1978, after pledging guilty for his heinous crime. When Polanski was arrested in Zurich, Switzerland, in correlation to h

THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!!!FACT!!!

Written by Creepythinman Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead is my number one favorite movie and the one I’ve watched more than any other in my lifetime and that’s because the film is a masterpiece of the zombie genre. I used to watch it a few times a week during my childhood and would have it playing in the background, when not studying or banging beaver where I would devour textbooks and pussy like a putrescent corpse eats BRAINS! But I always wondered why this movie above all others fascinated me ever so? It could be because I love zombies and have watched, read and played almost everything to do with them in every form of media. It pleases me that the living dead have rightfully taken their place as the great cinematic monster of our time when they used to be regarded as a mongrel sub-genre before George A. Romero’s seminal masterpiece Night of the Living Dead (1968) became the defining Horror movie of the last century. As I’ve said many times before, there are onl

Miami Vice: Freefall (Review and retrospective of the series finale.)

Miami Vice finale: Freefall (1989) Directed by Russ Mayberry Reviewer’s note: Originally, I planned on doing a write up last year which was the benchmark of this episode’s 30th anniversary but was either sidetracked or too lazy. So now, here we are. We had one hell of a run, didn't we, partner." That quote pretty much sums it all! 1989, was the bookend of the greatest decade of popular culture. The 1980's was on its way out. But before fading out, there was this finale of yet another great series which defined  this exciting decade: NBC's Miami Vice 1984-1989.  This Crime Drama was innovative on so many levels, be it the implementation of adding rock songs within scenarios,  Jan Hammer's amazing soundtrack, adult subject matter that at times were disturbing,  solid character arcs, the introduction of then unknown actors like Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis and Wesley Snipes just to name a few, the bromance between Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, gorgeous nightlife sc
