From Bad Boys to Transformers, we rank Michael Bay’s films

Friday, April 26th, 2013

With PAIN & GAIN blasting into theaters in all of its roided-out glory, I thought it was a good time to go back and look through his 9 previous films and rank them in order to try and find his best film. Full disclosure; I’ve been a Michael Bay apologizer for a long time now, [...]

Stanley Tucci joins Mark Wahlberg in Transformers 4

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

Director Michael Bay announced at CinemaCon that Stanley Tucci (THE HUNGER GAMES) will join the cast of TRANSFORMERS 4.  Clearly this film is being made strictly for money.  It blows my mind that stars like Stanley Tucci and Mark Wahlberg would join a franchise that is in a hard nose dive.  But I guess if [...]

Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Rebel Wilson in new images from Pain & Gain

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013

With the film less than three weeks away, today we get the normal image dump, showcasing Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and the rest of the stars of Michael Bay’s PAIN & GAIN.  Most of the images are taken from Bay’s patented waist-high camera angle and prove that even though this film isn’t technically a big [...]

Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson look buff on the new poster for Pain & Gain

Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013

2013 is shaping up to be Mark Wahlberg‘s year.  He’s already delivered BROKEN CITY in January and still has PAIN & GAIN coming later this month and then 2 GUNS with Denzel Washington coming later in the summer and maybe even LONE SURVIVOR for director Peter Berg before Christmas.  I’m not sure any of his [...]

Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson star in the new red band Pain and Gain trailer

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

I’ve consistently made fun of Mark Wahlberg since his ‘Good Vibrations’ days, but I have to sheepishly admit that I’m starting to come around.  Sure, he still can’t deliver serious or intimidating lines without making me laugh (see BROKEN CITY for reference), but when he’s intentionally funny, I actually like him.  TED was great and [...]

Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg star in the new Pain & Gain trailer

Wednesday, December 19th, 2012

Michael Bay has released a new trailer for his upcoming action comedy PAIN & GAIN, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t chuckle out loud at a couple of parts. At first seeing Mark Wahlberg as a body builder was a little ridiculous to me, but after watching this trailer I’m completely [...]

Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf have been replaced by Nicola Peltz and Brenton Thwaites for Transformers 4

Tuesday, December 11th, 2012

Looks like Michael Bay has completed the task of replacing his former TRANSFORMERS franchise stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, and has brought in fresh blood in the form of Brenton Thwaites and Nicola Peltz. Do these names sound familiar? Probably not as neither of these fairly newbie actors have been in anything big so [...]

Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson show off their muscles in the new Pain & Gain poster

Saturday, December 8th, 2012

In September the first teaser poster for Michael Bay’s upcoming film PAIN & GAIN hit the web and it was a little underwhelming since it was just a photo of a protein drink jar with credits on it. Finally we’re getting to see the two stars of the movie (Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson), and [...]

Mark Wahlberg will star in Transformers 4 after all

Thursday, November 8th, 2012

It’s been rumored for a couple of weeks that Mark Wahlberg might star in Michael Bay’s upcoming film TRANSFORMERS 4, and now it’s been confirmed. Even though Michael Bay denied that Mark Wahlberg would be starring in the film on his blog, apparently all the internet buzz got him thinking so he wrote a part [...]

Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson are absent on new Pain and Gain teaser poster

Thursday, September 20th, 2012

The first teaser poster for Michael Bay‘s upcoming film PAIN AND GAIN has been released, and considering it’s a film about bodybuilding, I would have liked to see a shot of Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson pumping some iron or something. Instead we have to look at a big poster of protein powder, which really [...]

Transformers 4 gets a logo and reveals some plot details

Thursday, September 13th, 2012

Apparently preliminary work has begun on TRANSFORMERS 4 and today we get a first look at a temporary logo as well as some more very minor plot details. According to reports from the President and Chief Executive Officer of Hasbro, Brian Goldner, TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON did fantastic at the box office, but toy [...]

Michael Bay talks about Transformers 4, his final installment in the franchise

Friday, June 22nd, 2012

Even though I think the TRANSFORMER films are incredibly fun summer blockbusters that I’ll watch multiple times, I’m a little disappointed that Michael Bay has decided to do a fourth film. Lucky for us he’s said that the fourth installment in the TRANSFORMERS franchise (currently titled TRANSFORMERS 4) will not be a reboot, but they [...]

Supermodel Bar Paly set to join Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson in Michael Bay’s Pain and Gain

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Before anyone starts trashing Michael Bay for once again casting a supermodel to take the lead in one of his movies, let me point out that Israeli model Bar Paly is not just a stunningly beautiful woman, but she also has acting experience, starring in the Israeli soap opera ‘Love Around the Corner’, as well [...]

Michael Bay confirmed for Transformers 4, which is coming in 2014

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Yesterday, TRANSFORMERS producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura announced somewhat unsurprisingly that a fourth Transformers movie was coming in 2014.  A few hours later, Michael Bay took to his website and confirmed that he will be the one to direct the film.  Regarding his schedule, Bay said: “I have just concluded a deal with Paramount to do [...]

Ed Harris joins Dwayne Johnson in Michael Bay’s Pain and Gain

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

Everyone has their complaints about Michael Bay, but it seems that when actors work with him once, they’re willing to work with him again.  That, and he always manages to find talented, respectable actors and throw them into ridiculous films.  So here we are again with Ed Harris, who previously starred in THE ROCK with [...]

Details released for the 3D Blu-ray of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, starring Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

Disappointed that Santa didn’t bring you the bare bones Blu-ray of TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON?  Well, don’t be upset because it was probably a blessing in disguise since an uber 4-disc 3D Blu-ray is coming out on January 31st.  And although the term “special edition” is thrown around haphazardly when it comes to Blu-rays, [...]

Steven Spielberg wants to see Michael Bay do another installment of Transformers

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Posted by: Zack Bruce As a boy growing up in the 80s, TRANSFORMERS was one of my favorite shows. There as nothing cooler than vehicles turning into giant robots for the battle of good versus evil. My parents spent several hard earned dollars on action figures to appease my addiction. Unfortunately the only one I [...]

Michael Bay and Jason Statham deny rumors of any involvement with Tranformers 4 and 5

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

Posted by: Zack Bruce The internet was ablaze yesterday with the news that TRANSFORMERS 4 and 5 would film back to back and that Hasbro was speaking with Michael Bay about directing again. There was even talk that Jason Statham starring in both of the films. All that talk was a little too soon. Bay [...]

Shia LaBeouf not interested in 4th and 5th Transformers, eyes A Giant

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant All the news yesterday seemed to center on the fact that Hasbro is in active talks with Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg about doing two more Transformers films and filming them back to back.  But the question remains who will star in the films as the star of the previous three [...]

Hasbro is talking with Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay about doing a fourth Transformers film

Monday, October 17th, 2011

Posted by: Zack Bruce Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner has been holding talks with Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay about the possibility of doing a fourth TRANSFORMERS film. But really do we need another one? That was really all of the details that were given on the project. This is something that Hasbro would like to [...]

Christopher Nolan, Michael Bay and Alfonso Cuaron are all on the list to direct the Twilight Zone movie

Friday, September 30th, 2011

Posted by: Zack Bruce If you haven’t seen the 1983 version of TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE, I suggest you do. There were four segments done by different directors including: George Miller, Joe Dante, Steven Spielberg, and John Landis. The final segment which was directed by Miller was the most terrifying of all. I remember the [...]

Transformers: Dark of the Moon, starring Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, hits Blu-ray in September

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Taking a page right out of the AVATAR playbook, TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON is coming out on Blu-ray in two separate, yet simultaneously announced editions.  The first is a bare bones release, that will hit Blu-ray in a mere 21 days; September 30th (in my 7 years following DVD and [...]

Shia LaBeouf and Transformers: Dark of the Moon heading back to theaters for another two weeks

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Due to the success of Michael Bay’s third film in the TRANSFORMERS franchise, entitled TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON, Paramount has decided to release the film again for an extended two-week run in theaters. If you didn’t get a chance to see it the first time around, you can catch Optimus [...]

Transformers 3 reigns supreme while Horrible Bosses and Zookeeper take a backseat

Sunday, July 10th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant It’s probably not going to be a big surprise to find out that Michael Bay’s third installment TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON has pulled out another successful weekend at the box office. The two “big” openers this week were HORRIBLE BOSSES, the comedy starring Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, [...]

Shia LaBeouf talks about potential extras on Transformers: Dark of the Moon Blu-ray

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant If you’ve had the opportunity to see the latest Michael Bay extravaganza that is TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON, then you know that the director packed a lot of action into those 2.5 plus hours worth of film. What you may not know is that Mr. Bay cut quite a bit [...]

Transformers: Dark of the Moon breaks box office records with the biggest Fourth of July weekend ever

Monday, July 4th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Love him or hate him, there’s not denying the box office power of Michael Bay.  In the process of making a movie he didn’t really want to make and using 3D technology he didn’t really want to use, his latest film, TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON now officially has the most [...]

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Monday, July 4th, 2011

Having beat down the Deceptacons twice already, Prime and his crew are helping us out as military liaisons while Sam gets a job in the real world.  But before anyone can get too comfortable, information about a covert mission on the moon reveals a sinister secret that will put the entire planet at risk. When [...]

Transformers: Dark of the Moon impresses but Larry Crowne disappoints at the weekend box office

Sunday, July 3rd, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Remember when the 4th of July weekend used to belong to Will Smith?  That seems like a long time ago.  Lately, the Fourth of July belongs to Transformers and this weekend was no exception.  The third installment of the franchise, TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON, looks like it will rake in [...]

Michael Bay will move on to a smaller dark comedy, Pain & Gain

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

Posted by: Zack Bruce The reviews for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON seem to be pretty positive so far. Positive in the way that it’s another popcorn flick that isn’t insulting. The overall response is, “Well, it’s better than TF2.” Regardless, Michael Bay is enjoying his time and basking in his explosive glory. With the [...]

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

As expected, Michael Bay has followed a familiar outline with his third go around with the Transformers franchise.  Much like he did with TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN, he spent a decent 105 minutes setting up a very convoluted story that no one in the audience really cared about anyway, only to wow us with [...]

Cars 2 and Bad Teacher top the weekend box office

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant In true box office fashion, in a weekend that arguably has the two critically worst movies of the summer, we see the overall box office performance actually up from this time last year.  CARS 2 is the big winner of the weekend, taking in considerably more than the $50 million or [...]

Megan Fox might have been fired from Transformers by Steven Spielberg

Monday, June 20th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant If we take a trip back to before filming began on TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON, Megan Fox said this about her TRANSFORMERS director Michael Bay: “[Bay] wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for but when you get him away [...]

Shia LaBeouf grimaces his way through the fourth trailer for Transformers Dark of the Moon

Saturday, May 21st, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Admittedly, I was very excited for the third trailer for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON and like I said back then, liking these movies goes against everything I believe in when it comes to movies, but I can’t help myself.  I actually feel like the fourth trailer is a bit of [...]

Shia LaBeouf and Transformers: Dark of the Moon change release date

Friday, May 20th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant This is quite a surprising piece of news as we have learned that the Michael Bay film TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON has moved up the release date from July 1st to June 29, 2011. I’m not sure why they would do this, but I have a good guess- want to [...]

Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the first clip from Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant We’ve had a rough start to the summer movie season so far.  THOR was disappointing, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES was severely lacking in just about every category and THE HANGOVER II proves comedy sequels are tough to pull off.  TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON isn’t going to wow [...]

Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Optimus Prime ready for war in Transformers: Dark of the Moon poster

Friday, April 29th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Yesterday the trailer was released for Michael Bay’s upcoming sequel TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON and today we get to see the poster, can you think of a better way to kick-off a weekend? Below we get to see what appears to be a full-fledged final poster with Optimus Prime, Shia [...]

Shia LaBeouf watches as Michael Bay blows everything up in the new Transformers: Dark of the Moon trailer

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant The new trailer for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON is out and it’s not going to do anything to quiet all the Michael Bay haters.  I know it’s over the top (in an extreme fashion) and I know we saw enough eye candy in this 2 minute trailer to last an [...]

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and some random robot in photos from Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant In anticipation of a new trailer that is supposed to debut sometime later this week, we bring you two new photos from TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON. The first features the current damsel-in-distress (aka the girl who replaced Megan Fox) Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. She has the shocked and “oh, my gosh-giant robots!” [...]

Bumblebee and Shockwave square off in new Transformers Dark of the Moon banners

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I know they’re over-produced, mindless summer action movies, but I can’t help but to enjoy the Transformers films.  So I’m looking forward to seeing Optimus Prime and the rest of the gang return in TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON.  Today we had two new banners debut for the film, the first [...]

Shia LaBeouf and Josh Duhamel in new photos from Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant We’re starting to hit that time of year where photos and clips from the big summer blockbusters begin rolling in and I’ll be honest, it makes me a little giddy sometimes. Today there a couple of shots from Michael Bay’s third robot film TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON and even though [...]

Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Tyrese Gibson in Transformers 3 Daytona 500 trailer

Monday, February 21st, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Is it possible that the Daytona 500 is going to be as big as the NFL’s Super Bowl when it comes to commercial spots? Possibly, as yesterday not only did CARS 2 have a trailer, but so did Michael Bay’s upcoming TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON which will star the adorable [...]

Taylor Lautner to team up with Michael Bay for action film

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Ever since Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger practically backed out of the action genre, America has been looking for its next action star. Who knew that TWILIGHT’S Taylor Lautner would be one of the guys in contention? Turns out Michael Bay did and now he’s boarded the Taylor Lautner train (along [...]

McG beats Brek Eisner in the Ouija war

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Lucky McG (sounds like it could be a brand name) has won over Brek Eisner and gets his opportunity to direct Universal’s adaptation of OUIJA, which of course is based on the Hasbro board game. He is currently in negotiations to direct the supernatural adventure film (think along the lines of [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Tyrese Gibson are seen below in these new photos that were taken on the set of TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON, the third installment in the TRANSFORMERS franchise.  These shots were taken on set in California in front of blue screens, which one can only assume [...]

Josh Hartnett to star in Tomorrow for director Paul McGuigan

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Remember when Josh Hartnett was right on the brink of being an A-list superstar?  The year was 2000 and the world was a simpler place back then.  Hartnett was all the buzz because his mega-blockbuster, Michael Bay directed PEARL HARBOR was going to announce his arrival to the world the following [...]

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Tyrese Gibson and Optimus Prime on the set of Transformers 3

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant We just showed you set pictures of Shia LaBeouf and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley out in Los Angeles while filming TRANSFORMERS 3. Today we have pics of Rosie with Tyrese Gibson, along with an action shot of Optimus Prime and a destroyed downtown Chicago. The Chicago Tribune has a ton of specific set [...]

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to replace Megan Fox in Transformers 3

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Posted by: Nathan Swank The female lead and Megan Fox replacement for Michael Bay’s TRANSFORMERS 3 has finally been decided. Newcomer, Rosie Huntington-Whitely has beat out many rumored candidates for the coveted role as Shia LaBeouf’s love interest. All that’s left to hammer out is the negotiating which I suspect this hot newbie will and [...]

Gemma Arterton possible candidate to replace Megan Fox in Transformers 3

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Posted by: Nathan Swank As reported some hours ago, Paramount confirmed that Megan Fox will not be returning to TRANSFORMERS 3. That is pretty big news, so naturally speculation on who will be replacing Fox is also big news. Being that no other interesting news has happened this evening I’m gonna go ahead and post [...]
