Personal Quotes

[When asked about what it's like to be a celebrity] "I'll tell you when I become one."

[when asked about what girls he likes] "I like the dark, mysterious, maybe even gothic type girls. They have to have a good personality too! I'm very picky!"

"I got to grow up in a situation where drugs were demonic. To watch your dad go through heroin withdrawal is something that would keep you from doing any of that yourself."

I'm not an Adonis, that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man; he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking; people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.

"I was billed as the 10-year-old kid with the 50-year-old mouth. I knew if I wanted to work in the business, funny would be good because I looked like Garry Shandling."

"Clubs are so lame. Nobody even dances at these clubs. They stand around and get drunk and they schmooze. There is no enjoyment factor. You get so many invites . . . partying has never interested me. My dad was a drug addict. There's something about watching your dad go through heroin withdrawal when you're 11. It's not interesting anymore. I'm not individualizing this. There are lots of kids that deal with this. I'm an '80s baby; that's what was going on."

The next Tom Hanks?

"Transformers" producer Steven Spielberg thinks Shia LaBeouf has what it takes.

By Jeffrey Ressner

Taking a lunch break at an outdoor café filled with the beautiful people of Santa Monica, Calif., Shia LaBeouf hardly looks like Hollywood's hottest property. Considering his bedhead coif, loosey-goosey demeanor and that M.C. Escher tattoo on his torso, the 21-year-old actor could more easily pass for one of the raggedy skateboarders whizzing by.

But there'll be no gnarly shredding for LaBeouf, or any other sports. "Surfing, golf -- I've had to put them all aside," he says between bites of a quesadilla. Instead, he has been working. This year alone, the former Disney ragamuffin appeared in April's box-office champ "Disturbia," voiced the lead in the penguin toon "Surf's Up" and stars in this week's $150 million robot action movie, "Transformers." As if that's not enough, he was just cast in the new Indiana Jones sequel. Skateboarding can wait.

LaBeouf hasn't even found time to furnish his Burbank, Calif., bachelor pad. "My lifestyle now is so gypsy," he says. "I love working. Acting isn't an intellectual exercise. You can't just go home and think about it. The more you do it, the better you get."

His name is part Hebrew, part French; it's pronounced SHY-ah la-BUFF. Minutes after meeting him, it's clear that pronunciation trick is only half-accurate. He's funny, extremely foulmouthed, wildly frenetic and definitely not shy. But now that he is exercising every day on fitness machines and treadmills for his movie roles, he has become exceptionally buff. Ironically, the same name that got him taunted as a child (the schoolyard "Chia Pet" jokes were merciless) today helps him stand out.

Raised in the artsy Echo Park area of Los Angeles, LaBeouf is the only son of a doting Jewish mom and a vagabond Cajun father who suffered from drug addiction after serving in Vietnam. "Shia got his sense of humor from us both: country from his father and Catskills from me," says his mother, Shayna, a free-spirited jewelry designer.

He was just 13 when the Disney Channel cast him in its kiddie comedy series "Even Stevens," leading to a Daytime Emmy award and, even more important, his big-screen breakthrough in the studio's 2003 picture, "Holes." Yet the packaging of LaBeouf felt at odds with his hippie family life, and he chafed under constraints of the company's image marketing machine. "That All-American Disney role model, I'm not that," the actor says. "I'm still trying to figure out my own [stuff], so there's no way I can be the guy other people look to for answers."

As fate would have it, the "Holes" role attracted a pair of showbiz veterans who literally changed LaBeouf's life. One was Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight ("Coming Home"), who took the boy with an "angelic face and Raphael hair" under his wing. "He's an elusive character in many ways," Voight says, "with a vivid, enthusiastic imagination and a poet's sensibility."

The other vet was Steven Spielberg, who saw "Holes" with his children and became transfixed by LaBeouf's genial persona, reminding him of a young Tom Hanks. "Until a few months ago, we never had a man-to-man talk or a man-to-boy talk, or even an icon-to-loser talk," says LaBeouf of his latest director. The two mensches bonded over classic movies. "It's not like we're best friends now, but I do get to call him Steven."

After "Indiana Jones," LaBeouf says he'll probably do a little film. "I'll look for some small character in a low-budget movie," he predicts. "After this, you can't get any bigger."

And then he takes off for the gym, to do just that.

overall, i would think

Shrek 3<Spiderman3<POTC3<Transformer

cant wait for its sequel!!!!

This movie didn't live up to the hype and I don't understand why everyone is giving Michael Bay so much credit to a show that failed.

Come on, it's so ridiculous it's not even cool.

"ARE YOU LADIESMAN217?! ARE YOU LADIESMAN217?!"

Freaking hillarious, but looking back at it after I left the cinema, it was the dumbest moment in the movie. How about using eBay as a source of information? Spare me the lame details.

They tried too hard to develop a plot. A string of events that linked the Transformers to that puny funny man who finally gets the girl (oh, so cliche). I mean come on, I could see it from the start how everything was going to be linked up. The glasses was cracked in a particular way that it revealed the location of the cube? I MEAN COME ON! HOW LAME COULD IT GET?!

It was cool when everything was introduced. Then it got a little draggy and the bots got too lame to handle. The cool faded off, the movie began to seem more and more overrated. It was too cliche at some times with the guy and the girl it almost rose hairs on my body. All parts that were meant to be serious was lightened with humour, it wasn't even enjoyable anymore.

The movie was okay for me. I wouldn't say it sucked. It was good eye candy, all that robotic mechanical special effects and the mega hot babe. But besides all that, it lacks everything to a good movie. I'm glad I watched it in Malaysia, if I watched it in UK, I would've beat up myself for wasting all that money.

Bottomline: If it wasn't for the Transformers history and previous fame, this movie would've failed.

P/S: If the story line was adopted from the original Transformers (I grew up watching as a kid, so I couldn't really remember how exactly the plot was), then I retract my comments on the Transformers plot. I can't remember anything about a cube or anything to the cartoons that I used to watch. Nor was there a cube toy model to my Transformers collection. Anyway, if the plot is original, consider my comments on the plot to be withdrawn.

Dude...there's so many version of the TF. U have headmasters, masterforce, convoy, armada, beast wars and many more. The names are always reuse but the storyline is not. This movie is not related to the old G1 franchise.

More power to my point then, the movie sucks hard with a poor plot that tried too hard.

u r being critical of the WRONG POINT.

i think even though the glasses in good condition, it still will reveal the location of the cube. its been 100++ years, the glasses tend to wear and tear. But as long as the lens is there, WHY CANT IT STILL DOESNT CONTAIN the data needed?

hehe thats for the effort of bringing it to the cinema... but this movie has the "cool"ness in it too. If you put aside the story and lousy fighting screens, so far there isn't any movie with big ass robot that can run, jump, fly or transform into awesome automobiles in a split second... they are like humans doing acrobats and also what I have been doing in QUAKE

ROCKET JUMP (hope u know what I am talking about) !!!! LOL I will never forget that scene

"Damn he was putting lubricant on my leg!"

I'm not trying too hard

I went in with no expectations.

The movie just didn't live up to the hype. There was too much humour. I didn't like it mainly because of that. I laughed at the jokes because I knew it would be the kind of lame jokes that we would make.
