Soon to be flying around: fluid, metallic dude and chunky pieces of metal

Now that all the hoopla surrounding Spiderman 3 has somewhat eroded to the back of your heads, lock 15 June into your calendar, kiddies! That's the date that the Silver Surfer is landing into cinemas!

For the uninitiated who are unaware about the hype, follow the link to check out bits about Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer. This is a follow up to the first one which, in my opinion, was way better than Spiderman 'cos it stuck more closely to the original comic and didn't try to do too many things at once.

So what's the big deal about this movie? Jessica Alba in tights for one (although my wife will say 'Aiyoh! Why you like her so much her tits so fake! Dunno why Tiger pay her so much money, blah, blah'). And they seem to have given her a look that closely resembles the Sue Storm from the original Fantastic Four series in the 70s (though she looks very plastic from certain angles). And Johnny Storm with Super Skrull powers! BAM!

Also, check out the trailer and you'll see that the Silver Surfer is wickedly cool! Played by Doug Jones (who played another watery fella Abe Sapien in Hellboy), this character has been a long time coming since they made the T1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Think a more fluid T1000 flying around on a surfboard and you'll get the picture.

The other thing to look forward to kiddies, is TRANSFORMERS! Altogether now: More than meets the eye! *insert funny morphing sound that the robots make* If you missed the trailer on TV (which they aired on Ch 5 on Sunday just before the 9.30pm news) check out the wicked posters of Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Directed by Michael Bay, you can expect the usual panning worm's eye view camera angles; the dusty, sunset, orangey look that plagues ALL his movies; nail-biting chase scenes with breathtaking crashes; explosions and more explosions. And yes there's also Bumblebee (the VW Beetle, but they made him into a Camaro here), Starscream (they made him into an F22 Raptor like the MP03 toy), and some Insecticon (or Scorpionok?) I couldn't recognise. They also kept that funny morphing sound, which seemed odd in the movie. But still cool nevertheless. Wonder if Megatron is going to scream his signature ' Decepticons! Reeetreeeaaat!' in his usual whimpy way. Like Borat would say 'So excite!'. What can I say, I'm a fanboy.

And coming up next: Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark aka Iron Man (yucks!). What were they thinking?!
