No, you read that headline right.  Read it a couple more times if you need to.  I'll wait.

Transformers, not swayed by negative criticisms, had the second highest 5 day opening of all time with $201 million, just behind The Dark Knight's opening of $208.

Because someone, somewhere thought a live-action CG filled Smurfs movie was a good idea that is exactly what we are getting.  Not much word on this yet, but the film does have a December 17, 2010 release date. 

My biggest questions:

1) Who plays Gargamel?

2) How many derogatory ways can "smurf" be used?

FSR got a hold of the new Scarlett poster from G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. 

If we know anything about this movie right now it's 1) The women in it are gorgeous and 2) Explosions are cool. 

There's been a lot of negativity swirling around Michael Bay's newest opus, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.  You'd think the online community and anyone with a press pass were in some secret cabal out to destroy Bay's career.

So did I love it, hate it, or send it to the scrap heap too?

Let's put it this way, I am NOT a member of that cabal.  I dug this movie.  I even kind of love it. 

An untested source has supplied AICN with a pretty big rumor, and enormous scoop if true. The source says they got a look at the banner which is to accompany the Smallville presentation at Comic-Con in July. 

... FEARLESS blows it.

The following exchange takes place:

*Captain finds Fearless holding an Ewok doll, sobbing in a corner*

Captain: Don't worry friend, pink t-shirts with black socks and shorts will come back in style... someday. Sonny Crockett as my witness, they will... come... back.

Fearless: I love her, forearm tats and all. She's my soulmate.

Captain: I know she is. *Captain pats Fearless on his gelled head*

The closer Star Trek came the more I felt it was a can't miss.  And you know what? I was right.  Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen I've had the opposite feeling. 

I loved the first one.  My wife LOVES the first one.  But what if they screw it up?  I mean, look at Star Wars: Episode I.
