while working out, i watch mindless drivel on netflix or prime. i'm currently watching "Bumblebee", a prequel/reboot of the Transformers movies. it's actually a tad better than the other robots-in-disguise movies, not that it's a high bar to clear (who would have thought that john cena would be an upgrade on shia leboeuf?). the movie is set in 1087, and IMO the most notable thing about it is
the soundtrack: so many great eighties hits in there. they must have spent a small fortune on licensing... within the first few minutes of the movie i recognized "bigmouth strikes again", what followed was a long walk down memory lane: things can only get better, save a prayer, don't you (forget about me), it takes two, etc etc etc...
so if you like meaningless action flicks where lots of shit gets blow up, this one at least has a good soundtrack.
