Wasn't directing and thought it'd be a drama based Transformers? Well, news flash Bay basically did direct it without directing it he handpicked his replacement who is pretty much his protégé. The film is just like any other Micheal Bay movie FUN, STUPID, and full of EXPLOSIONS! However, I do feel like the writing was stronger in this film at least it was more story-driven than the previous Transformers movies. I thought it was a weird choice to have Halie Sienfield in this but she was great. Her performance was both strong and adorable mixed together which also sums up this movie. And of course, before I finish this review I have to address John Cena's performance or my headline won't make since (You can't see me) ok anyway Cena actually left me wanting to see more of his character. It was an odd choice to have Cena cast as this character in my opinion but he does pull it off. If you want a movie to watch with your kids go buy this, this weekend you will all enjoy it.

As much as I loved reading this book, the main character Eve Laing is not a character to like. She’s self-centred, driven and oblivious to anything other than her work. She’s an artist,, but better known as the muse to an infamous male artist, much to her disgust.

Eve seems to be set on self-destruction, and over the course of a night walk through London (she’s braver than me!) from her former family home to the studio she now lives in, Eve tells her story. She’s an unlikeable and unreliable narrator. I will admit that I did feel some sympathy for her when her young lover shows his true colours.

And I kept thinking: why shouldn’t she want more? Because she’s married? Because she’s in her 60’s? Because she’s a mother? She’s clearly not a happy person and envies the life she imagines that she could have had.

I don’t think I’m giving too much away when I say that this is a book that can’t end well. And it may well say something about me when I say that I rather liked the ending.
