What do all these three have in common? They all came as a surprise to me. If you haven't heard already the king of pop and inappropriate sleep-overs is dead. Michael Jackson died today: [link] Also on the same day, Farrah Fawcett who had been undergoing treatment for her cancer. I watched her special just a few weeks ago and it really hit home, my father and my mother in law also passing from cancer unexpectedly. Some may judge them, some may mourn them, but it's always sad when people pass.

Now for the brighter spot, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. I loved it, and honestly I wasn't expecting too after the first one. Not because the first one sucked, oh no, I got a kick outta it! But because the shock and awe of seeing Blackout transform and hearing the vrrr-chhh-wrrr sound for the first time was over. I didn't think RoTF would have the same O.O factor because we've seen it before. But oh how this movie sucked me in to the opening scenes, short as they may be, with flawless visual effects.

Sam and the college situation was a great setting and his parents, especially his mom piratically make the human cast for me. I honestly feel Mikaela and Leo (was that his name?) could be removed from the script and it would have worked just fine. There's not a whole lot I can say here without spoiling things so I'll make a reply below so it's hidden. Be warned, if you view the comments you'll see my spoilers!
