Well I made it out to see the new Transformers movie last night. Top film.

Being a Michael Bay film, I did expect the action to be top-notch, and I wasn’t disappointed. The CGI effects for the Transformers themselves were excellent done and Shia LaBeouf did a great job as Sam Witwickey making the character likable and displaying some great comic timing.

The one thing that really surprised me was the amount of humour in the film. One scene in particular was completely goofy, and there were plenty of laughs to be had from Frenzy running around the place manically. But the humour worked really well. I was in stitches as the Autobots were trying to hide to avoid Sam’s parents.

Definitely one to go and see. Easily one of the best films of the summer so far. After a slightly disappointing start to the summer, this, Die Hard 4.0 and Harry Potter 5 have really improved things.

Had a great day out playing Paintball on Saturday. The morning was a bit of a write-off. The full-head safety masks, while protecting my noggin from the oh-so-sore headshots, also resulted in a lot of sweat, which completely knackered my visibility. Which wasn’t much use when I was trying to spot people crawling through the undergrowth.

The afternoon was a lot better though. The game areas were more open, so you could actually see where people were to shoot at them, while there was still plenty of cover.

I’ve hurt like heck the last two days though. Some sod shot me in the shoulder blade at close range, which has come up in a fairly spectacular bruise, but other than that, its the general joint and muscle pains, which are to be expected.
