Movie Reviews and Previews Team Moonlight at the Nominees Luncheon Have you seen Moonlight yet? Moonlight is challenging La La Land for Best Picture. It’s an underdog though, especially since La La Land just took the Directors Guild and the Producers Guild award before that. There is, however, some backlash about La La Land. I liked La La Land.

Movie Reviews and Previews Transformers 5: Metal Gear Nonsense Transformers: The Last Knight aired a TV spot during the Super Bowl and then released an “extended look” online, so just in case thirty seconds inside a trash compactor isn’t enough for you, you can watch the 54-second extended spot for maximum noise and nonsense.
