‘Transformers One’ Film review: The First Great Transformers Movie
With five films, Michael Bay couldn’t do it. The solo Bumblebee movie couldn’t do it. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts was fun, but still just missed it. The “it” being an entertaining Transformers movie that is creative, exciting, and one
‘The Killer’s Game’ Film Review: Fun Action Surrounds an Off-Balance Script
The new action-comedy, The Killer’s Game, packs a wallop in its well-choreographed and entertaining moments of gunplay and hand to hand combat. J.J. Perry’s sophomore outing as director gets these scenes down. The filmmaker was a stunt coordinator on the

Chuck Norris will go down as one of the great action stars of American movies. Although his pictures didn’t have the budgets of his 80s contemporaries, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, a good deal of Norris’ films were lean, exciting,
