Ooops!!!

This reporter has some sense of humor.

"After his arrest in Pakistan in 2006, Britain sought his extradition in the airliner bombing case. But he escaped when Pakistani police officers accompanying him back to prison from a court hearing in Karachi agreed to stop at a mosque so he could pray and — as the police told it — slipped out the back door."

Hell hath no fury ..

.. as a moviegoer scorned. Especially, one who opened up his wallet to dole out $30 for two IMAX tickets to the kind of rubbish (aka Transformers 3) that I wouldn't even bother seeing on DVD. James Berardinelli does a much better job rubbishing the movie the only way he can so I'll stick to my frustrations.

We booked the tickets in advance - so there was an air of inevitability about me as the date was approaching. I kept justifying to myself that Transformers 3 is the kind of movie that can only be so bad - especially given the first installment which I rather liked. Unfortunately, the first one was the exception to the rule that Michael Bay should stay away from movies.
