A lot of hate exists for Michael Bay. Some of that is well placed but on the flip side he has also given us some pure jacked up adrenaline rides that i have to say do impress. For all haters of Mr. Bay i have just two words for you... The Rock. Yes he gave us the shit-tastic Armageddon and The Island but he also gave us The Rock. Let's go through the list.
1. Sean Connery owns in this film.
2. This is the movie that made Nick Cage a action star.( If you are not a fan of nick cage you are definitely reading the wrong post.)
3. Michael Biehn and Tony Todd.
4. One of the best car chases i ever have seen through the streets of San Fransisco.
5. Tarantino was a uncredited screenwriter on the film.
The Rock has so much going for it and yes it was Bay at the beginning of his career but he also gave us Bad Boys 1&2 which are dumb fun. Yes he has stumbled a little with the Transformers films and Pearl Harbor was a joke but i feel as though he has at least one more film like The Rock in him and i hope we get it sooner rather than later.

Film=Escapism
As human beings everyday we do tasks that crush our souls. From the job you can't stand to the wife or husband that nitpicks you to the point you feel like hitting them with a shovel and burying them in the backyard. For myself i only really have two outlets where i feel no stress and i feel truly happy. The number one greatest thing in my life is my daughter, that's plain and simple. The other thing happens to be film. Movies in general whether it's a blu-ray disc or a busted up vhs copy of evil dead 2. For those two hours i have no stress. For those two hours my problems melt away and i am solely focused on how Riggs and Murtaugh are going to solve the case. I want the fantastic and weird. I want to be entertained. I want to forget about my god damn problems for two hours and sit in a dark theater and eat overpriced popcorn and wonder how the fuck does Michael Bay get to keep making movies. Let's be honest that's the American dream and we all know that winner's get to fuck the prom queen.
