This Hasbro animated prequel just got an oil change and it delivers. Before he was Optimus Prime, his name was Orion Pax. Before he was Megatron, his name was D-16. And before […]

The Critic
Everyone’s a critic, and I have a lot of critiques on this movie. Critics have always had their critics about how they respond to movies, plays, and music. We can be judged […]

Jackpot
This action comedy bets and loses. 11 years ago, we got “The Purge,” which had the one day of the year when all crime, including murder, was legal. And you have until […]
