The sequel. As a rule it has to have twice as much of everything. In "Friday the 13th Part 2" Jason took over from his mother, and hacked up way more camp councilors. In "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" Leather Face laid waste to more than just one van of hippies. Compared to the original Michael Bay's loud, grating, mind numbing metal mayhem that is "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" follows that rule to a "T." It has twice as many Transformers, twice as many explosions, twice as many shots of Megan Fox's cleavage running, twice as many up-angle shots of Shia LaBoeuf screaming in slow motion, and most of all, with a screeching shout it is twice as terrible.

The plot here is a rehash of the first one where Sam (LaBeouf) and Mikaela (Fox) search for a mythical Macguffin, this time the Matrix instead of the All Spark, before Megatron and the Decepticons can start a star destroying machine that will wipe out the human race. Also like the first installment there are so many themes thrown in it becomes a paella of weird, and often Hawkish, American jingoism and moralizing. From what I could glean the US can't pull out of Iraq because giant Robots want to steal all of the oil.

It's rare to find a CD that I want to listen to consistently. But I don't have that issue with Saturday Night Shakedown's debut EP. Ever since I bought it and put it on my iPod, it's been on repeat and I've found myself absolutely in love with the band and their CD.

The Bay Bridge Series has become an annual affair for the Oakland A's and San Francisco Giants. Debates have been sparked for years on sports talk radio as well as in bars and living rooms across the Bay Area. Which team is really better? The debate has never been settled but when the two teams meet head to head every year for an inter league three game series the arguing stops, for a night at least.

Continuing our new article series on getting you ready for summer and looking like a celeb, FanBolt recently had the opportunity to review the NutriSystem program.

I, Liz Bailey, am really excited about this program as I've heard so many wonderful things about it, and there have been a number of celebrities that have lost a notable amount of weight from it - including Marie Osmond and Jillian Barberie Reynolds.

So for this next month, I'll be sticking to the woman's plan that NutriSystem offers, and I'll also be exercising on an every other day basis. I'll document the foods I eat (any breaks from the routine that occur), as well as my exercise program. This has been a program that has been proven to work for not only celebrities but also for the everyday guy and gal. So we'll see how it goes!
