A handy press release came across my desk late yesterday informing me that Reprise Records will drop the "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" soundtrack on June 23, one day before the release of the highly anticipated Michael Bay-helmed sequel. Since it simply wouldn't be a giant robot movie without effects-laden electric gee-tars and pounding drums, the predominantly hard rock track list isn't terribly surprising. Linkin Park, Green Day, Staind, Avenged Sevenfold and Cheap Trick are just a few of the featured artists.
After the jump you'll find the full track listing for the soundtrack. Make sure you tune in to the 2009 MTV Movie Awards this Sunday at 9pm EST to catch an exclusive new clip from "Revenge of the Fallen." And there's still time to vote, so get to it if you haven't already! Read More...

I saw “Star Trek” last weekend, and I liked it. It wasn't the life-changing, holy-friggin-god-best-movie-EVAR experience that many of my friends claim it is, but yeah, good movie. Well-written characters, solid action, plenty of Nimoy. There was a problem though. Something was missing in JJ Abrams’ "Trek." The same thing that's been frequently absent in sci-fi -- hell, in blockbusters -- for far too long: awe. As the newbie crew shuttles into space, Leonard McCoy (Karl Urban) gasps at the sight of the just-built U.S.S. Enterprise looming before him. All I could think was, yep, there’s another computer animated spaceship sitting in computer animated space.
It's a spectacular image, even awe-inspiring in its own way, but it also feels strangely hollow. I find myself continually amazed at how distancing digital effects can be, even as they continue to inch closer and closer to true photo-realism. Not nearly as effective as Ridley Scott’s "Alien," which turned thirty this past Monday. Originally released on May 25, 1979, to this day "Alien" remains a big, ghastly, shocking work of spectacle.
