A good friend to the site, Goldenfiddle’s Spencer Sloan sent over highlights of Shia LeBeouf’s turn in Transformers. To be truthful, I haven’t caught Shia in anything since the long defunct Project Greenlight, so consider me grateful for the opportunity to see firsthand whether the accolades were deserved.

– “If he was alive now, making this now, he would make it now, as if he were making it then.” With a wink, Martin Scorsese remakes a film that was never made: based on an unfinished (and fictional) Alfred Hitchcock script entitled Key To Reserva. 9 minutes, paid for by champagne Freixenet. (Filmmaker)
