Megan Fox burning hot in Esquire Magazine, Jonah Hex and Fathom. May 5, 2009

Megan Fox is stunning in a white dress for Transformers 2

There’s always room for Megan Fox on this blog.  Her latest shenanigans involve a scorching hot video by Esquire Magazine, hamming it up on the Jonah Hex movie set, and being set to play a raven haired beauty in Fathom, a movie adaptation of a comic book by an artist I actually like.

Megan Fox in ESQUIRE Magazine

Her recently popular magazine shoot is with Esquire Magazine.  They have an exclusive video capturing Megan Fox from the moment she wakes up to what she eats at lunch.  I don’t believe that many women can wake up writhing and arching their back, drink a beer, eat a fat burger and look as good as she does.  It’s a gift.

From the DailyMail:

Photographer Greg Williams shot the hottest actress with a hi-tech Red One camera, which meant he could grab stills of her at the end.  He recorded ten minutes of loosely scripted footage – getting out of bed, rolling around on a pool chair, lighting a barbecue.  “It allowed her to act,” Williams says.  “She could run scenes without being reminded by the sound of a shutter every four seconds that I was taking a picture.” Williams was then left with ten minutes of footage which he turned into a mini-film called ‘Good Morning, Megan Fox.’

Megan Fox in Jonah Hex

Megan has also been caught recently wearing a slinky costume with a tiny midsection on the Jonah Hex movie set.  She squeezed her 22in waist into an 18in corset meaning her waist is about 6 inches across.  That sounds like a reasonable torture to look hot.  She stars as Leila opposite Josh Brolin who plays Jonah Hex.  The movie is about some ridiculous bounty hunter fighting a voodoo practitioner that raises an undead army out in the wild west.

From the DailyMail:

“When Megan first slipped into it she almost couldn’t breathe,” said a source.  “It’s extremely tight – but I think you’ll all agree she looks sensational.”

“Megan’s got an intriguing role in the film,” said the source.  “By day she’s the epitome of respectability – by night she’s a man-eating vice girl.  And without giving too much away I can tell you she’s one hot ticket in some sizzling scenes.”

It’s been rumored that her character is a prostitute.  I heartily approve this decision.  Bravo!

Megan Fox in Fathom

Aspen Matthews is the main character in Michael Turner's Fathom

Her next big project will be Fathom, a comic book series adapted for the big screen.  Megan Fox plays Aspen Matthews, a marine biologist who is the victim of an attack at an underwater research station.  Aspen finds that her anatomy is not quite human and eventually discovers that she’s part of an underwater race hiding from humanity called The Blue.  This race and their city is like Atlantis, very technologically advanced and apprehensive of humans.  Aspen is abducted and they attempt to use her as a weapon since certain members of the Blue can manipulate water and energy.  She finds that she’s more powerful than she could have ever imagined.  Chaos ensues.  She fights bad guys.  People die.  World is changed forever.  Sounds like it could be epic right?

She definitely has the looks to pull off Aspen Matthews.  I photoshopped these set of pictures together so you can see a side by side comparison.

From MTV:

The 22-year-old actress claims to have been a lifelong comic reader with a penchant for the late Michael Turner’s artwork — which is why her upcoming turn as the lead character in “Fathom” is nothing short of a dream come true.  “[‘Fathom’ is] a comic book property by my favorite artist, Michael Turner,” Fox told USA Weekend during a photo shoot with herself and soon-to-be “Green Hornet” star Seth Rogen.  “It’s about this underwater race of people, and it’s plausible, really, because so much of the ocean is unexplored.  We don’t really know what’s under there.  It could be happening, which I like.”

Like Megan Fox, I also like Michael Turner’s creative work, he does some fantastic and unique looking art.  I’ve been following his work since I was in high school.  The Fathom movie was planned to be directed by James Cameron back in the late 90s, but that obviously never happened.  I’m glad it didn’t happen until now because there wasn’t a suitable brunette to play this role back in the 90s.  Megan Fox saves the day again.  It must be a tough life being a heroine all the time.

This latest trailer shows quite a bit of what will be in the movie and it’s looking really awesome.  When the Transformers musical score comes on, this whole movie starts to have an epic feeling.  I have to give a standing ovation to the visual effects teams on this movie.  They are just insane at their craft.  I mean they are blending in towering transforming robots with people and scenes…and it’s absolutely mind blowing.

Megan Fox still looks good without makeup July 17, 2007

It seems like a lot of people are searching for “Megan Fox no makeup”.  It’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to find a picture of Megan Fox without makeup.

However, there are a few pictures of her with very little makeup on, and she looks pretty natural.

Goto the BOTTOM of the post if you want to skip all the bullshit and get to the no makeup pictures.

Enjoy.

Megan Fox really is a Transformer.  Sometimes she doesn’t look good with too much makeup.  Sometimes she looks amazing with makeup and for some reason, when she is all dirty in Transformers, she looks her absolute hottest.

Megan also has great MAXIM and FHM spreads, but that’s not how she looks like on a daily basis.  Luckily when you see her completely without *with a little* makeup out in the real world, you won’t be saying “omg holy shit wtf?”  She still looks good.

Megan Fox With No Makeup

Well…not completely but she doesn’t have much makeup on.  According to some people, she does have some on like the obvious lip gloss.  These are the best that I could find.  If there’s a stalker out there who can get pictures of her as soon as she wakes up, that would be nice.

Be on the lookout for more Megan Fox in the future…especially in Transformers 2 and Transformers 3.

Transformers Review – Made for Generation Y July 4, 2007

Contains a few spoilers…not like it matters.  No surprises in this movie.  Only balls to the walls action.

Review

Generation Y is a term that is designated to the group of people born after Generation X.  It is also known as “The Internet Generation”.  This group typically includes people born from the 1970s to the 1990s.

As a member of Generation Y, I grew up with Transformers.  For the most part, younger people get this movie.  I walked into Transformers and got exactly what I wanted like when I walked into 300.  I got crazy action, a dramatic score, overused special effects, disregard to character/plot development, cheesy moments, and Megan Fox.  Sometimes it’s nice to see an action movie that isn’t in the same vein as Die Hard, Batman Begins, or Minority Report.

The movie starts like a typical teen movie with the lead character Sam who gets bullied and chases after a girl named Mikaela who never really notices him.  Later on, he does the bullying and calls the shots and unsurprisingly nabs the girl.  He does this with the help of a Camaro who turns out to be BumbleBee, the robot hero of the film.  There’s lots of military action as the US government tries to figure out what’s going on.  There are typical dramatic gunfights and gorgeous air strikes to get my pulse racing.  It really all leads up to the whole point of the movie, which is to see Autobots and Decepticons fight each other.  Your attention may begin to wander here for two reasons, either because the movie is 144 minutes, or that you’ve seen too much of this kind of action.  Lots of room is left open for a sequel as it kind of trails off.

Maybe for the sequel, Michael Bay will fix a couple of things I found wrong with the movie.  I wish that Transformers could have been more focused.  You see, the movie is really about a boy and his car.  This was somewhat established in the beginning before they chucked it and decided to do a feature commercial for the American military.  I wonder what the rest of the world is doing in the movie and if there are anymore threats hiding on Earth.  I wish they fleshed out the robots some more because everybody wants a bunch of characters they can care about, not just one or two.  They hardly introduced any of the robots, and the Decepticons got about 5 second introductions.  You’re left thinking that if 20% of the action was cut for 20% more story, the movie could have been so much better.  Even though there are faults, there are things to appreciate too.

I appreciate the CGI in the movie even in a time when these kinds of effects have become commonplace.  I loved the way Megan Fox proved she’s more than a pretty face when it comes down to the nitty gritty.  I loved Shia Lebouf’s acting.  I loved that this movie didn’t try to be an epic action drama like LOTR.  They kept it simple and flashy like the toys.

In the end, many viewers will be left wanting more and picking at faults, but many more viewers will be left satisfied knowing that this movie was exactly what they wanted.

Some thoughts

“The whole process of watching a film requires thought and analysis. When you are presented with information whether it be visual or sound on the screen you piece it together. Thats how you’re able to understand the plot as the film unfolds.” – said by a random person on IMDB forums

He couldn’t have a better point there.  Except it makes no sense in the context of Transformers.  The plot of the movie was basically described by Optimus Prime in the movie.  There’s a cube that two robot factions want.  Good guys versus bad guys.  That’s it.  What is there to understand?  People who are looking for a deeper plot, what are you DOING?!

I don’t understand how people can expect so much from a movie like Transformers.  You walk into this movie and you have to expect EVERYTHING to take a backseat to the action.  If that’s not what they expected, then why did they even consider watching this movie?  Oh I know why, so they can complain about it and say how mindless it was.  In fact, it’s mindless to go see a movie you’re not excited about and you don’t think you’ll come out of it smiling.

Michael Bay is generally criticized for putting out lots of “stuff” with little substance.  Critical people are aware that his movies usually have poor plot and character development, yet they still go see his movies.  To be honest, this is the best movie he’s created so far.

Roger Ebert said “It’s goofy fun with a lot of stuff that blows up real good, and it has the grace not only to realize how preposterous it is, but to make that into an asset.”

Critics average it out to a B- movie.  I think it’s a B movie.  It lacks all the elements to make it a Spiderman or Batman Begins yet it’s mostly entertaining.

This movie is old pop culture brought to the big screen.  It’s great in its own right.  You don’t get a chance to stop and think about anything illogical or absurd.  There’s relentless action until the end.  For some people, it might be too much action, but you don’t walk into a Michael Bay movie and expect anything else.

I think this movie can be summed up with…there were explosions and giant robots.

:::Score Card Summary:::

Pros:  Megan Fox, Strong Shia Lebouf lead, Non-stop action sequences, Incredible CGI, 1980s pop culture

Cons:  Excessive product placement.  Weak plot.  Little to no character development.
