Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

When i was younger, only my brother played those vehicle-turns-robot toys.
Truly speaking, it's not some movies that i will dig out that 8 dollars from my pocket for. If it's not from the NUS family day treat, i might not be interested to watch the show.

But it turned out fabulous! And the show itself is self-explanatory even if you missed the first movie (not sure if there's any),

I actually felt sad when Optimus was killed =(, given that he's an autobot.

I was watching Red Eye on Channel 5 while typing the above and chatting with bmbo*.
It reminds me of Flightplan by Jodie Foster.

Red Eye: Definition (googled)

A red-eye flight is any flight departing late at night. The term derives from the fatigue symptom of having red eyes, which can be caused or aggravated by overnight travel.

A red-eye flight typically moves from west to east during the overnight hours. It departs late at night, lasts only about three to five hours, an insufficient period to get fully rested in-flight, and due to rapid forward time zone changes the aircraft lands around dawn. As a result, many travelers are unable to get sufficient rest before a new day of activity.

From a marketing standpoint, the flights allow business travelers an opportunity to migrate eastward without impacting a full business day.

Most eastward transatlantic crossings from North America to Europe are operated overnight, but are generally not viewed as red-eye flights since they depart early in the evening and last at least seven hours. A full night's rest is thus theoretically possible.
