I saw Transformers on opening night, and it was pretty good.

I didn’t really expect much going in. I don’t really care much for the director (Michael Bay, whose other hits include “Armageddon,” “Pearl Harbor” and “The Rock”), and movies based on toys just aren’t what I normally like to watch. But this was a nostalgic toy, and I was still a little excited.

I can't wait to see it. My darling wife, a friend of ours, and I are going to a movie tonight. I wanted to see "Die Hard 4," but our friend saw it last weekend. So I'm hoping for "Transformers," but the wifey is leaning toward "Ratatoille."
