Major record label fails to release FFTL’s new album - pricks
Current mood:

angry
Category: Music

What are you on, Geffen.

You have some awesome bands on your books - so why did you fail to release From First To Last's latest record in the UK?

To kick them while they're down, you put an import ban in place. This means UK fans can't get an album in the UK without ordering from abroad or getting an indie record store to buy straight from the wholesaler.

It's such a dumb, pointless idea. Luckily my local indie shop Slipped Discs helped me out - and after half a year of waiting for the record I finally received it on the weekend.

And despite frontman Sonny's departure, it's still as spine-tingly awesome and catchy as ever before - minus the anger.

I'm not complaining. Check out one of my favourite tracks here:

As soon as this monkey escaped from a Japanese zoo, he scaled a nearby building and chilled in some shade.

And when zoo keepers tried to capture him, he wasn't having none of it...

The top five post-hardcore songs (of my time)

The top five post-hardcore songs (of my time)

by Dominic Sacco
(aka Dom Sacco)

A good post-hardcore song will have at least one epic riff. It will have breakdowns. It's gotta have some shouting. But most of all it better have some fucking intensity!

Here's my five favourite post-hardcore songs of all time. Hopefully this will give you an insight into my musical taste and get you into some decent music at the same time.

5. From First To Last
Ride the Wings of Pestilence

From that climbing little intro to a powerfully unsettling chorus, Ride the Wings of Pestilence is one of my favourite songs of all time. The second verse scream never fails to send a tingle down my spine and I never get bored of listening to it.

Sonny Moore's vocals are sweetly catchy if faintly whine-like, but the tune is addictive and the song has caught my life so many times in the past.

It's just a shame the ending drags out too long – and the lyrics seem more befitted to a death metal track.

(best bit: 1:05 - 2:05)

4. Thursday
Understanding in a Car Crash

Thursday deserve to be part of any post-hardcore compilation – they helped spearhead what would become the entire "emo" genre and have a legion of utterly devoted fans.

The fact frontman Geoff Rickly wrote it for a close friend who died in an accident is testament to this.

Passionate, deep and profound. Pick it apart as you will but the song itself is amazing. I'm not overly keen on Geoff's voice – this hinders it from achieving a higher ranking.

(best bit: 1:00 - 1:24)

3. Thrice
Under a Killing Moon

Picking one Thrice song above all is like trying to choose between Charlize Theron and Natalie Portman lying on a bed with nothing much on, only for the doors to burst open and another thirty gorgeous actresses run into the room. And you can only choose one…

Fuck them. I'd pick this any day.

(best bit: 1:50 - 2:47)

2. Comeback Kid
Wake The Dead

Killer intro? Check.
Lightning speed? Check.
Breakdowns? Check.
Epic chorus? Check.
Gang vocals? Check.

There's nothing more I want from a post-hardcore band.

(best bit: 2:22 - 3:10)

1. The Mars Volta
Inertiatic ESP

OK so it's more experimental prog rock than post-hardcore, but the fact it was founded by Cedric and Omar from At the Drive-In fame justifies my choice.

No I don't have a clue what the title means. Yes I do fucking love the song.

The intro is one of the best to ever grace a rock song – but what I love most is its creative simplicity – how can such a technical song sound so simple?

The Mars Volta did doing something very special AND different here – I can still remember them breaking into the alternative world on MTV2 a good few years back. And smashing everything else out of the way…

…shame all their other songs are shit.

(best bit: 0:00 - 1:02)

I found the Eye of Sauron… in a packet of crisps – now you can buy it
Current mood:

amused

So I was eating lunch at work the other day, about to shove a crisp into my mouth – when I noticed a peculiar thing just before eating it.

The crisp I was holding was staring right back at me. So I stared back at it, and discovered it was the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings, its salted essence staring right into my soul.

With a small oval-shaped hole in the middle, and darker contours around the centre of the crisp, it looks just like the evil eye. And it becomes even lighter towards its edge, similar to a live flame.

The realisation suddenly sank in. I had found one of them holy-shaped things, like the Jesus-shaped pint of Beer or the Mary-on-toast which sold for thousands on Ebay. Except this one wasn't really holy, it was the opposite.

It is the epitome of sin, in the form of a crisp.

Suddenly I realised the potential this little crisp had.

After much ridicule and banter from the office lads (who didn't sway me), I took some photos on my mobile phone before heading home at the end of the day.

I carefully cradled the crisp home from Wimbledon to Billericay, while strategically placing my newspaper above my lap to hide my potential sadness from other people on the train.

I have good news – it arrived home safely and now lives menacingly on my desk.

I'm going to send pictures to the Sun, Nuts and Zoo, and I've already placed the crisp on Ebay. I'm also going to promote it on Lord of the Rings fan forums.

Bit for it here.

The journey to work - take a closer look, it’s funnier than you might think
Current mood:

amused

Hello xDomsblog subscribers - this one’s a sweet little collection of humerous titbits I’ve recently experienced on the way to work.

And I wanted to share with the world. Enjoy.

Woman phone home (mental home)

Crazy bitch.

The first strange moment was witnessed by myself - I was on my way back to work from lunch when I spotted a woman on her mobile phone.

In a phone box.

This woman was talking on a mobile phone.... in a phone box.

...

In a phone box.

On her mobile phone.

...

Has the world gone mad? No... but it seems that she has. Poor soul.

Got a Lite?

Ok so you know those foreign guys who hand out The London Paper and The London Lite? Bless them.

"I like to shove these papers in your face."

I see the same man outside Wimbledon station every day, handing them out, shouting, "Free papar. Free papa. Free paper."

God damn, I don’t know what it is but I just want to take a whole box-load of papers off his hands, so he can go home to his wife and eight kids.

And I hate those pricks in the morning with a bright smile on their face -

"MORNING :-) CITY A.M!"

...

FUCK OFF! I am tired; let me listen to Pennywise on my Mp3 player in peace.

Ok so nastiness aside for one moment (I was only joking, people), the fat dude who hands out The Lite down Cannon Street is awesome. He repeats the words, "Got a light? A light? The Light. The Light?" - but his voice squeaks upwards at the end, in a spiral of madness and boredom.

I swear half the people who walk past think he’s asking for a lighter.

If only you’d move down, we could get on the train...

Hell on Earth.

Ah, the British rail system. I’ve been a commuter for half a year now, and have developed a strong, arrogant, selfish persona on the trains.

Why? Because no-one gives a shit. Seriously, go on the trains into London every day for a month. At peak hours. It’s like watching a WWE Wrestling match. With midgets.

People barge others out of the way, ignore everyone but themselves and speak complete gibberish. Once some girl asked me to pass her a paper, which was lying on the seat beside me.

She barely whispered:

"h... h... pa....per.... pass the paper.... please....I..."

It’s ok. You can talk to me like a normal person. I may be on a train, but please, try. It’s degrading to the human race. I feel like I’m a serial killer when you talk to me like that.

___

Another example is when you’re sitting down, blocking the path to an empty seat next to you. Someone wants to sit there.

"hh... .... th..... thaankss...." (barely decipherable sounds come from their mouth)

Jesus Christ. TALK!

And before you clever bastards say they’re only behaving in this alien fashion because they’re attempting to converse with me, you’re wrong! It happens to my close friends all the time!

Packed train. People want to get on. Guess what? No-one gives a shit.

I was on a jam-packed train yesterday, and managed to fight for a seat (yess), when we stopped at Stratford.

Oh shit.

The train was already full, and about thirty people wanted to get on.

Doors open.

....

"Can you... plea.... move down...."

...

Some guy blocking the carriage just turns the page of his Evening Standard.

...

"Iffff..... you just.... move.... mo... dowwnnn.... the carria" -

Doors close.

...

Woman is left standing on the platform. Doesn’t seem bothered.

SPEAK, PEOPLE! SPEAK!

TALK TO ONE OTHER!
ARG!!

Boris Johnson

Here’s one man I want in power. Everyone, this is important.

We must get Boris Johnson in as the new Mayor of London.

... No comment.

He looks like a fool. He wants to fight crime and tackle antisocial behaviour.

...

He’ll do.

Did I mention he looks like a comical, modern-day jester?

Oh and he done this to a German footballer:

Vote him in. You’ll thank me for it.

Sneezes

Have you noticed how weird people’s sneezes are? Someone in my family has the strangest sneeze I’ve ever heard.

He just blows it all out, like a grenade exploding inside his nose.

It’s like, "BOOOOM". It is. Literally.

And this little South African lass sneezes like a mouse. The first time I heard her sneeze, I was 99% certain she was trying to make a stupid, purposely funny noise.

It’s like, "choo... choo."

I have to admit though, my sneezes aren’t the most pleasing sound in the world.

Go on. Next time someone sneezes. Have an extra special listen to it. It just might make you laugh.

Then again I have a strange sense of humour. You may have realised.

News in Brief

Ok so I didn’t spot this on the way to work, but it’s great nonetheless.

It’s a comedy series of short video episodes set in a live TV newsroom, created by some animation and media students. Good to see BAMMJ are still getting their names out there too - Myles Harrington (presenter Jonathan Stacey) is now a third year on the course, continuing the great traditional mix of comedy and sophistication, something which comes as standard to BAMMJs.

(BAMMJ stands for BA (Hons) Multi-Media Journalism. It’s a degree at Bournemouth University which I graduated from last year. Look it up.

Anyway, tell me about your journey to work! I want to hear lots of random events.

Until next time,

Sacco-man

The best of 2007
Current mood:

chill

Welcome to my bi-monthly blog. This time I've got some spectaculastic visual and aural treats in store for you.

I round up the best things of 2007 - including the top game, pair of boobs, film, album and more.

I know I'm two months late - send a letter to 1 Really Care Road, Italy.

Videogame of the year

Right, let's get the geeky one out of the way first. Truth be told I'd been a little disappointed with what the games industry had to offer me in 2007, right up until the end of the year. When I played Mario Galaxy. And realised it was just Mario in space. With a Wiimote.

Then I finished that in two days and put Bioshock in the X360.

And something magical happened.

I thought it was shit.

Then I picked it up again a month later - gave it a few more hours chance, you know, as gamers do. And my God, what a game.

WHAT. A. GAME.

I can't remember the last time a little shiny disc moved me as much as this. Rapture is the most immersive, disturbing yet strangely enticing world I've ever left my virtual footprint in, for years.

You're stuck in a post-anarchic underwater world where science has gone a bit rabid and humans have began using experimental chemicals to give themselves powers. No, they're not heroin addicts.

I mean, you can shoot bolts of ice from the palm of your hand. Set things on fire, shoot electricity. Hell you can even open your wrist up and send out a swarm of bees at your enemies - most of which are psychotic 1950's rejects, all battling for power in one giant watery sinbin.

Then you have the choice of saving these little girls who go around plunging their needles into people to retrieve genetically-enhancing chemicals, also known as ADAM (no, not my mate/drummer). Or, for more power, you can kill the little hos. Thing is, they're protected by these hideous creatures in space suits, rather disturbingly named "Big Daddies."

Before this turns into a review, the moral choice the gamer faces, its engrossing story, deep character interaction and sheer nasty/brilliant killing fun, makes this my game of the year. Plenty of twists, plenty of scares, plenty of setting-some-crazy-anarchic-arseholes alight and watching them run around screaming their lungs out.

10/10

TV show of the year

We could be Heroes. Just for one day.

Ah David Bowie. How we completely misinterpreted your future-reading ability for some nonsense songs about spiders on mars, before labelling you a freak. You were right, well almost. I think you'll find your lyrics should have been, "We should watch Heroes. For more than one day."

Hiro Nakamura is one of the most unique characters I've seen in years, and his innocence, enthusiasm, accidental humour and TIME STOPPING ABILITY makes for the most captivating viewing I've ever seen.

Did I mention he can stop time? And teleport places?

Then you have the other heroes (and villains), Claire the hot little cheerleader who is physically invincible, Matt the thought-hearing cop, Isaac "I can paint the future" Mendez, and Nathan Patrelli, the congressman who can fly.

Then there's Peter Petrelli who just gimps off all the other heroes.

Anyway I must stop talking about this show now and go and watch episode 12...

10/10

Album of the year

Thrice - The Alchemy Index

Two CD's. Twelve tracks. The most mature, awesome, soft yet hard-edged music I've ever heard. Like a fine wine, Thrice have aged perfectly with time. And this music is just beautiful, just beautiful. I prefer the water element disc, but the fire one is equally brilliant.

Listen to "The Whaler" or "Night Diving".

10/10

Film of the year

Epic. Just epic. Read my review of it in another blog, I'm not writing all that out again. P.S. My mate Wiggy got a new nickname after this film - Sam witWiggy. He calls me Morgan FreeDom so I had to think of something.

10/10

Boobies of the year

If this was based on the boobies I saw the most, it would be Haz's, so I'm going to be biased on this one and say my girlfriend.

P.S. Lindsey Lohan. I didn't say that. As much as I hate her and I think she's a rotten bitch inside, she seems to be ten times fitter each time I read about her in The London Paper, either for getting arrested for drug abuse or pulling another celebrity's hair out. But by putting her picture next to the story, the paper is failing, because the text just isn't getting read...

10/10

Well those are my top five things of the year (excluding personal life).

Sacco's life - a glimpse into the magic of 2008!

For anyone who cares, I just passed my driving test, and my girlfriend gets back in two weeks, so I'm a happy guy right now.

I've also just compiled a CD of local music for charity. Find out more at The Objection 2008 Myspace page

’OBJECTION 2008: Action in Motion’ CD - ESSEX BANDS WANTED

HELP KEEP LOCAL BANDS (AND POVERTY-STRICKEN KIDS) ALIVE!

WHAT IS IT?

"OBJECTION 2008: action in motion" is a CD compilation of Essex music, with all proceeds going to UNICEF charity (United nations children's fund).

There'll be 14 tracks from different Essex-based bands, solo artists, rappers and DJs - every musical genre considered.

The theme is positive change - socially, politically or anything else.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU - THE ARTIST?

1. Promotion.
2. You'll help donate more money to charity.

The CD will be distributed throughout independent music stores in Essex.

It'll also be sold by the featured artists, local bands and myself at various local gigs in the new year.

We're aiming to raise at least £200, but I'm sure that figure will be closer to £500 with the correct bands on board.

Do the right thing! join this good cause, help charity, help the scene and help your band get some extra promotion.

HOW TO BE A PART OF IT

You can send digital tracks to domsacco@hotmail.com or post your CD to:

Dom Sacco
11 Outwood Farm Road
Billericay
Essex
CM11 2NA

Things to consider

1. Last date for submissions is 4th January 2008.
2. There is no limit to the amount of tracks you can submit.
3. I will be unable to pay you for this comp - the point is it's for charity and the scene.
4. Submitting a track does not automatically put you onto the CD.
5. You'll have less chance of making it onto the comp by submitting just one track, since competition is already high.

WHEN IS IT RELEASED?

I'm aiming to get this out by 1st February 2008.

Do something good this Christmas and new year! Support Objection 2008.

Cheers for reading and good luck,
xD

Big fat update: punk rock comps, Street Fighter IV, Britney Spears and new year’s resolutions
Current mood:

hot
Category: Life

Ok update time – I haven't posted a blog in… well… ages!

So here is one. Just for you. Yes, you.

Life – cars, work, Amsterdam and the flu

I blame my recent lack of free time on two new things – a girlfriend and a job.

Please note these are two separate things, although some people may think having a girlfriend is a job, they're wrong. The money's shit, although you do get rewarded for hard work. Haha just kidding Hun.

I failed my first driving test last week. Oh well. I blame it on the flu. If I can almost pass while dizzy, burning hot, aching and with a voice like a croaky old man, I'm sure I'll be fine next time.

I recovered with copious amounts of punk rock, water and sleep. Sleep is good.

I missed two Christmas work parties though. AND a lad's weekend away visiting my mate in Cheltenham. Life can be a bitch huh.

You can read more on my driving test here.

I visited Amsterdam for my birthday at the last weekend in October with some mates - that was awesome, a really cool city and a very 'interesting' one at that!

I've also been reading the Troy trilogy, which is bloody epic.

Games – Dodgy reviews, Halo 3 and a new Street Fighter!

If you want a quick laugh, check this silly Mario Galaxy review out. It's by far the worst, biased and generally incompetent review I've read in a hell of a long time.

I mean, what kind of review has this for a standfirst:
"A Nintendo presentation of a game developed by Nintendo for the Wii".

They might as well have said:
"Yea there was this thing right, made by some guy, and he like did all kinds of different actions to make it. Type thing".

Maybe it was written by Vicki Pollard of Little Britain fame.

Great news for all… STREET FIGHTER IV has just been announced!

The classic returns yet again – let's just hope it lives up to the series legendary status. We don't want Ryu or Chun Li getting boring in their old age now do we?

Oh and GTA4 is out in just three months time! Watch the new trailer here:

As for me, I've been cracking through Guitar Hero 3, Assassin's Creed, Resi: Chronicles, Bioshock and Halo 3 since I last posted. All are epic.

I spotted Alan Hansen's sport challenge while surfing Gamespot – it was an editorial not a review of course! Had to be really with a title so dodgy.

Then I saw an advert for it on TV and cringed with visual pain at the acting.

Music – free punk comps, funny grime and Britney Spears

Fat Wreck Chord's have released a free online Christmas compilation.

It's one of the best I've heard in a while, with some brilliant tracks such as Anti-Flag's "Good 'N' Ready" and Dead To Me's "Desperate Men (live)".

Me first and the gimme gimme's return to form with a fantastic version of Simon and Garfunkle's "The Boxer". It's from their upcoming 2008 record "Have a ball again" – the second edition of the classic "Have a ball", which featured covers of stage show masterpieces including "Don't cry for me Argentina" and "Phantom of the opera".

The compilation's player is annoying though cos you have to click to play each song, but it's free so live with it! There's also a nice live NOFX number from their latest live record – which I didn't bother buying, since I've seen them live four times now.

I saw them at Brixton last month and they blew the crowd away with their usual hits… and the one and only "The Decline"! 18 minutes of pure perfection.

Enter Shikari played the same venue a few days later and rocked harder. They're one of the best live acts I've ever seen – glowsticks, hyper teenagers and awesome music. Madness indeed. But good madness.

I stumbled across a UK punk magazine – Distorted. It's not bad – it has a cool virtual form, where you can click and drag the corner of the page to turn it.

And for any of you who entered my grime competition, everyone won!

I know the result is corny, but so is grime!

The winner is every grime song, and everyone who hunted the funny tunes down.

Visit JME's Myspace page and listen to the first two tracks. Very funny stuff indeed. You know you're the man when you write lyrics like:
"You think I make T-shirts for these stupid little ratty girls with no arse? What you wearin' that T-shirt for? Tramp. You can get three for a score – at Wembley market you can get four".

What have I been listening to on my MP3 player recently? Well I bought most of Weezer's back catalogue cos they're awesome. My sexy little Haz bought me Foo Fighters new one for my birthday too which ain't bad.

I also got the latest records from Avenged Sevenfold, Finch and Britney Spears to grace my CD stack.

Yes you heard me right – Britney Spears' new album. I was a closet fan, now I'm open about it. Britney's catchy n' cool! And you know it. Gimme More, yeah.

Merry Christmas and new year's resolutions

Right, this blog post should have you sorted 'til next year.

Have a Chrismas CRACKER! And a happy new year (or whatever else you choose to celebrate in this insane, politically correct world).

I'm looking forward to my week off work.

New year's resolutions? To pass my driving test, buy a car and get on the road!

What are yours?

Billy Joe wears cologne... don't you know

HEARD IT on the radio again today, for like the 500th time. And this time I will never take Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams seriously... ever again.

But it's strange to think why it took so long to realise Billy Joe sounds like he's saying "I wore cologne, I wore cologne," during the main hook, instead of "I walk alone, I walk alone". Since it's a slow-paced, depressing tune for Green Day, maybe he's saying that cologne got him nowhere with the ladies.

All this time, and now my brain decides to fuck up how I interpret the lyrics to this song. So to ease the annoyance, I thought I'd fuck it up for everyone else:

I wore cologne, Lee Road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I wore cologne

I wore this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I wore cologne

I wore cologne
I wore cologne

I wore cologne
I worka...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I WORE COLOGNE

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm wore king down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I wore cologne

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I wore cologne

I wore cologne
I wore cologne

I wore cologne
I worka...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I WORE COLOGNE

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I wore cologne
I'm Walker...

I work this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I work-a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I WORE COLOGNE

Anti-Flag wrote a song for my blog

BLESS 'EM.

"This song's called Dom Sacco's Network!

And a massive organization plans to rise up to its feet...

It happens like this...

A pirate radical's voice transmits into the night
And from Essex to the world, email warns of lost global rights
And the hoax the world's leaders, wanted no one to see
Comes crashing on their heads from grass roots
Striking it down the blows coming for the world's...

Stand up and Fight! FIGHT!

Just take a look around the world

*THE HUNT FOR THE FUNNIEST GRIME SONG EVER*

Epic event incoming

THERE COMES a time when this blog must be used to help a cause more important than the prevention of global warming - yes, to complete the idea we came up with in the pub tonight...

What we're aiming for:

1. To find the greatest grime song, in terms of humour, ever written.
To boldly seek out new tunes and new wackness.
And to find that one song which never fails to crack you up, because it sounds so silly, the lyrics are just plain dumb or the theme is so over the top. Grime music makes my friends and I laugh. Hard.

This crazy idea was originally going to be between just us strange few Billericay mates here in Essex, England.
But I thought - you know what - sod it. Let's get everyone in on this and see what happens, it could be fun!

We need your help!

2. All you have to do to play is copy and paste this into your header:

I'M ON THE HUNT FOR THE FUNNIEST GRIME TUNE, WIV DOM SACCO AND HIS BILLERICAY CREW!

(See how I made that rhyme my bredren, how nang, I'm sure you'll agree).

3. Then just add the funniest track to your profile and send me a message, quoting the artist and track title. MAKE SURE YOUR MUSIC SETTINGS ARE SET TO AUTO-PLAY YOUR PROFILE SONG.

If you don't know what grime is, it's a type of music derivitive of rap, urban, hip hop, that kind of thing. Straight from the streets of London.
Just search for grime in the music section of Myspace and get hunting. To get you started, you can view the group I have chosen for my song so far, available on my page.

Prize(s):

Best song will get a whole blog of mine devoted to them and all kinds of other cool things. The main prize though is global unity, in finding this tune I'm sure we will all have an amazing time and tell our grandchildren about it when we're old and wrinkly. I know I will.

Also, this campaign could get so silly and so big that the world press could pick it up and everyone involved will become famous. I promise to share any wealth, birds and houses I acquire in the process.
Well... maybe not the birds, but still.

Ok let's do this!

Deadline: 1st September 2007

Take action. Join us. Find that one epic tune.

"I’m a waiter... this is my tips box"

MY MATE Miller and I were chilling and jamming yesterday, as you do, when we decided to go buy some snacks.

Heading into the nearest petrol station, we grabbed some stuff and put it on the counter. When Miller came to pay though, he pulled out his jar of cash. The following expression from the guy behind the counter can only be compared to the face of Martin Lawrence from Blue Streak:

"Officers, I've got your pizza!"

The man was so genuinely shocked and freaked out with Miller's tip jar, he just stared with his teeth out and eyeballs bulging. It wasn't until a good minute later, when Miller had the right change ready, did he notice the guy staring at him in a disgusting way. Miller then had to explain that he works as a waiter and that's his tip jar - what's so odd about that?

During all this, I was laughing hysterically. This didn't help the guy behind the counter, whose expression only worsened. I still think now that the guy didn't even know what a waiter or a tip is.

Fun times!

Film review: Transformers

2007 is THE year of the summer blockbuster - just look at what Hollywood has thrown at us this time: A new Harry Potter film, The Simpsons Movie, Ratatouille and the legendary Transformers.

Legendary is the word used to define the status of the classic cartoons, to describe how cool the old school toys were and thankfully the same word can be used for the new film (let's forget about the video games at this point).

Luckily, I walked into the cinema without seeing any previous trailers whatsoever, and I wasn't expecting much at all. What I got was a complete action extravaganza, with some of the best effects to grace the big screen and a cast plausible of transforming (couldn't help that one at all guys) a science fiction story into a half-believable modern day war.

The story follows Sam Witwicky - a descendent of a famous explorer and an American teenager with a serious lack of style - until he meets Bumblebee, the yellow and black Autobot. Soon he gets tied up in the war between the good Autobots and the evil Decepticons, which sees him chasing the fit Mikaela and getting involved with secret sections of the American government.

The story isn't the highlight though - the film is an absolute spectacle - both visually and audibly. Seriously, I don't think the creators could have come up with more impressive looking and sounding robots if they tried. Optimus Prime is like a God - his words of wisdom and holy actions makes him a great role model for all the kids watching and Megatron is a fantastically twisted bad guy.

The fight scenes are some of the greatest I've ever seen in a movie before, right up there with The Matrix and The Terminator in terms of class. There's bullet time, epic shoot outs, massive explosions and camera work that is so good it's almost orgasmic. There's one shot which goes up and underneath an Autobot as it's transforming from a car into a giant walking robot - another shows four floors of a tall building side-on, as a transformer smashes through the side in slow motion - you can see all the workers and objects inside getting destroyed. After I saw that I think I said, "oh that's just bloody sexy," out loud. But I didn't care.

Truth is, this film is unmissable. It's revolutionary to the movie industry. It's probably more appealing to guys than it is the ladies out there, but take the ladies along too and I'm sure it won't disappoint anyone. Unless they only like shit like Dirty Dancing and romcoms.

The robots themselves all have awesome voices, sound effects and personalities - Jazz is the coolest of the bunch, but they all ooze charm and humour - it's so hard not to love them. At times the humour gets a tad dull and the in-film advertising is annoying if you manage to spot it, but that doesn't detract from the fact that this is one amazing piece of entertainment.

Finally, here's the latest trailer to make sure you all watch it:

Supremely epic and an outstanding masterpiece.
5/5
