DVD Tuesday: Bumblebee and Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase

How come after the first Transformers movie, the sequels kept getting worse and worse? Now the second movie Revenge of the Fallen wasn't that bad, it could have been better. But it was certainly amazing compared to the 3rd (Dark of the Moon), 4th (Age of Extinction) and 5th (The Last Knight) movies which were absolutely terrible. I didn't see Bumblebee when it was in theatres but I heard from a lot of Transformers fans that this 6th movie was good. So, I will definitely be picking this up sometime today.

As a big Nancy Drew fan, I'm a little on the fence about Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase. Yeah, I want to see it but from the trailer and the description, it seems like they made a lot of changes to the story and characters. It seems so weird to see Nancy riding a skateboard especially since she's not a skater punk. But I'm going to give this movie a chance and see if it's better than the trailer.

So what new movies are you picking up this week?


Bumblebee

Description:

On the run in the year of 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie, on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken.

Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase

Description:

After the death of his wife, Carson Drew decides to leave Chicago behind and make a fresh start with his daughter in River Heights. But for 16-year-old Nancy Drew, life in a small town is mighty dull. She longs for excitement, adventure, and the chance to make a difference.

Nancy gets that opportunity when she is asked to help solve the ghostly activity at the Twin Elms mansion. Can she help explain the creaking footsteps, exploding light bulbs and the ominous creature? Is it the handiwork of high-school bully Derek Barnes? Or is it possible that the ghost of the original owner Malcolm Colfax is back for revenge? Recruiting her best friends George and Bess, along with local "mean girl" Helen, Nancy is determined to solve the mystery!
