Michael Bay's latest war story, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, is all about the tragic true events that occurred on the memorial of 9/11 in 2012 when the US embassy in Libya was attacked. Its a harrowing film, but really quite beautiful in telling the true events that had been kept under wraps for so long, yet is most definitely a story everyone NEEDS to know about. The 6 CIA operatives that risked it all across one night for almost 13 hours, they're incredible, and so is this film.

This remake is available on Disney+ and I would not recommend it. Pretty excruciating if you ask me, and spends it's entire time aiming to be more diverse but I think they've missed the point ENTIRELY, an absolute shambolic attempt to reboot a franchise in an inclusive manner. Hated it!

Michael Bay returns to the Transformers Franchise however this time Mark Wahlberg joins him. Its a different direction to the original trilogy and to be fair, as hated as this film is, I actually think it's the best since the first. Some great action, too much slow motion and of course more explosions than any sane person can handle, it's a Transformers film alright. You get what you sign up for and much more.

Michael Bay's 10th film is all about the insane true story of 3 body builders who sought the American dream...by kidnapping and robbing a wealthy guy. It's completely ridiculous but Michael Bay is the PERFECT director for this, and with some career best performances from The Rock and Mark Wahlberg, this is not only one of my favourite Michael Bay films, but also one of my favourites ever!

Michael Bay's third transformers film is an upgrade on the second, despite being even longer and even more colossal. This one feels like a change of pace for his prior films, more of a toned down grey scale vibe to most of the action and a gritty take on it too. But of course there's still an unhealthy amount of explosions and destruction, heck the real Buzz Aldrin has a conversation with Optimus Prime about enemy robots on moon in 1969 so yeah this is stupid. But stupidly fun.

The second instalment in the Transformers franchise isn't a patch on the first one, due to a troubled production as a result of the writers strike, and simply not capturing the same fun that the first one achieved. That being said, it's still fine, and in hindsight not a total disaster, a few redeeming qualities in sight but ultimately too long and too forgettable. I still enjoy it though for some strange reason.

WELL, it's time to begin the Transformers franchise in the Michael Bay series. First up, the 2007 original which is pretty good and still holds up well! Great effects, tons of explosions and overall a fun ride seeing these transformers shift into action for the first time. Will it hold up the further into the franchise I get though?

Just no.

Halfway through March and eleven weeks into the year already, there's a LOT of new content at your disposal this week. Not sure how much is good though considering The Nan Movie is a contender for worst of the year and there's a new Cheaper by the Dozen film which precisely zero people asked for. Either way have a good week and watch loads, exciting things coming soon...watch this space.

The 6th film in Michael Bay's filmography is an unoriginal, original film starring Ewan McGregor, the most confused man ever, and Scarlett Johansson, the most yellow woman ever. This film ain't awful though, there is some fun to be had but ultimately it's an action showcase vehicle for what comes next in his career, Transformers.
