The fact that I really enjoyed Moonrise Kingdom does not come from a bias however; it comes from recognizing a […]

Throughout time, as far as Autobots are concerned, it has always been important to fight for what is right. I think Michael Bay believes in what is right, I really do. His more is more approach has proven to be poison from a critical standpoint, but I truly believe that he enjoys being able to […]
