This movie is awesome! The script is well written, the art is beautifully rendered, and the voice acting is superb. The films blends several different takes of the Transformers origin story from different media over decades and blends the stories elements well in a coherent plot. There are plenty of Easter Eggs for longtime fans. But the story remains accessible to new audiences. Transformers One is the best Transfomers Movie since the 1986 film.

Prey is a sci-fi period piece set in 1719 that is well written, well acted, and filled with suspense. This prequel reinvigorates the Predator franchise. I recommend watching it.

Bird Box is a well casted film that holds the viewers’ interest from start to finish. If you want a suspenseful movie, this is it. I would classify this film as “old school horror” as it does not overly rely on blood and gore. My wife and I enjoyed it a lot. I recommend it.

Bumblebee is the movie Transformers fans have yearned for. The opening sequence alone choreographed action in ways Michael Bay can achieve only in his dreams. The film is a love letter to movies akin to E.T., The Iron Giant, The Breakfast Club and all things 80’s. For hardcore action fans, the second act may appear slow, but these scenes really get the viewers invested in characters, both bot and human. It was amazing that Decepticons were given a unique trait called personalities. Something completely absent in the Bay-Verse. The ending is worth the price of admission as well. I hope Bumblebee serves as a reboot instead of the original plan of being considered a “prequel” to the Bayformers.
