“Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” is a very enjoyable and engaging movie sans filmmaker Michael Bay, who dropped out of the series after “Transformers: The Last Knight” in 2017 to direct people movies like “Ambulance” with Jake Gyllenhaal of 2022. Steven Caple Jr. (“Creed II,” “Transformers: Earthspark” on TV) slips into the director’s chair for the new “Transformers” chapter. This sci-fi action-adventure takes place in the 1990s. This one involves a likable kid named Noah played by Anthony Ramos (“In the Heights,” “Hamilton”), who’s trying to make it in New York City.

Entertainment Editor Ricky Miller gives his top five Connery film picks.

The actor known to the world as the original James Bond has died. Sean Connery was best known for his role as the British spy in a series of films starting in the 1960s. He died Oct 31 at his home in the Bahamas.

“Rogue” is a Megan Fox-headlined action-suspense tale from the accomplished director M.J. Bassett who helmed various TV shows before delving into feature films. Bassett also directed “Solomon Kane,” a 2009 entry that dealt with unsavory entities hundreds of years ago, and the intriguing sequel “Silent Hill: Revelation” in 2012.

“Bad Boys For Life” finally came out in theaters earlier this year, sans director Michael Bay, who was off doing other things – more specifically “6 Underground” with Ryan Reynolds for Netflix.

America should rejoice. Why, you ask? Because “Bumblebee” is a “Transformers”-related movie that does not stink to high heaven.
