Entering Eternia with the Cast and Director of ‘Masters of the Universe’

Bringing He-Man and Masters of the Universe to life is something that would be a challenge for any filmmaker. The dense world and complex characters coupled with a hardcore fanbase that has proven to be incredibly protective of its mythology are among some of the trickier barriers said filmmaker would need to navigate through. Fortunately for Amazon MGM Studios, they found the perfect filmmaker for the job with Travis Knight.

‘Transformers One’ Shares New Single from Quavo, Ty Dolla $ign, and Brian Tyler

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not hip to the music of today’s generation. I’m a movie guy, not necessarily a music guy. But even an old square like me has heard of Quavo!

‘Transformers One’ Shows Hall H It’s More Than Meets the Eye

‘Transformers’ Star Anthony Ramos Discusses POC Themes in ‘Rise of the Beasts’

This week, the Transformers return to the big screen in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts! And I have to say folks, this one truly is more than meets the eye. I personally dug the heck out of this movie. Part of the reason was the way director Steven J. Caple (Creed II) subtly brings up POC themes throughout the movie. And one of the others was its charismatic star Anthony Ramos!

NOC Review: ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ is a Worthy Successor to ‘Bumblebee’

Let’s be honest, we all wrote off the Transformers franchise long ago. As soon as they stopped the entire Age of Extinction movie to try and justify why it was okay for one character to date a minor, I instantly noped out. I didn’t even bother with The Last Knight, and it seems I was right not to. But then something funny happened. Bumblebee hit theaters, and ended up being a really charming movie.
