Uncharted Film Gets New Director
Fans of Sony's Uncharted video game series were thrilled to learn in late May that director David O. Russell was leaving his position writing and directing the film adaptation.

Review – Transformers: Dark of the Moon
The original Transformers is one of my favorite movies and I feel no shame in admitting that. The nostalgia factor of seeing the adaptation of a show I loved growing up captured me completely and the visuals and action scenes were stunning to witness.
