I know that this list will stir controversy and all kinds of uproar but this is my opinion. I am also aware of  the three months left in 2009 and a slew of films are yet to be released.

It has been an entire week since we've seen the reemergence of Steve Jobs and his now famous formula/business model known as his annual press conference slash amazing new product/service presentation. The new ipods are as follows: new colors for last year's newly designed shuffle (I personally don't like this version because you can't scroll and see what you are playing and the volume control is on your earbuds.), improvements on the nano (video camera-which gives iflip a run for it's money and radio-why?), and newer versions of the ipod touch with bigger hard drives.

Apple has also redesigned iTunes and the store: I've had some issues with mine but this will not turn into a **** session. Apple has some real new ideas and for some of you whom missed information like music producers, musical guest that are not known and cover art iTunes now has LP which gives the customer all of the things in your CD jewel box and more. All of this format change and new devices are here to win back customers from last year's price hike (Apple wanted to release The Beatles exclusively for downloads but the powers that be wanted more money per songs then $.99. Apple complies and the battle continues.) and other variety of content. We now have news that RIAA and MPAA want money from Apple for your 30 second preview of songs, video, etc. which in turn will drive up the cost of songs yet again.

Greed is what has killed the record store (rememember those) and the CD. When CD's first came into the picture they were expensive and the price came down to an $9.99 until some artist whom felt they needed $14.99 per CD then $18.99. Amazon and iTunes came as an alternative offering the same content for the original price of $9.99 and here is the kicker. If you only liked a few songs then you could just purchase those songs for $.99 a piece. It was a business model for success. Give the consumer the new technology (mp3/device) at old cost ($9.99) and it was golden. Greed has now crossed into this ring and now the future seems to become a new apocalypse of whom to blame for the price,etc., etc.

It all boils down to that the entertainment business that never invested or embraced new technology forcing consumers to adhere to an obsolete business model.

If you haven't seen the movie then please skip this post on my blog for it contains spoilers*****

I want to write this review of the film so I'll tell you what I thought worked. The action and the humor had you interested. I loved the comedy dynamic between Sam and his parents. Megan Fox and Isabel Lucas are two of the most beautiful young eye candy you can put in a film. Devastator back as a form of constructicon was amazing. I did however had a few problems with some of the story such as if two parts of the all spark was all that was left why did the fragment found on Sam's clothes trigger this upload of information that only Sam could handle in his mind? The other fragment did not contain any information and couldn't be used by Decepticons. My biggest gripe is this, I love Isabel Lucas. She is as beautiful as Megan Fox but if Decepticon's technology has evolved to the point where they can replicate the form of homo sapiens then why would a superior race want to only blend or become deceptive as vehicles? That was a major surprise but then on further reflection I was puzzled. They never explained this. We also learn that you can go back and forth from Autobot to Decpticon, it is the choice of the robot what side they are on. What? The two Autobots who were twins played center roles in the movie all the way till the climax and then they disappeared. Sam told Bumble Bee to get his parents as far away as possible then when Sam seemed as if he was dead far away seemed to just be out of frame until the next ten minutes and here we are. Finally Sam has a near death experience where one would expect for him to meet God but no he sees the deceased dead Brother's Prime who offer there religious overtone. Sam is awaken by a combination of a defib, Prime revelation, and whisper of I love you from Megan Fox. The key is remade from dust which resurrects Optimus Prime. More holes in story but that is enough from me.

Don't get me wrong. Transformers is my second best film of 2009 so far, this is good film for the 13 and over.
