According to
IGN Filmforce, the cast list is shaping up for the
live-action Transformers movies. Stars including Michael Clarke Duncan, Jon Voight, Josh Duhamel, Bernie Mac, Tyrese,
John Turturro (wha?) and others have reportedly signed on to the project, which will be directed by Michael Bay
(
Armageddon, Pearl Harbor).
I still don't understand how they're going to do a live-action version
of cars and airplanes turning into robots.

One of the many stories left out of our history books
about World War Two is the heroics of the 761st Tank Battalion, a group of black soldiers that history forgot. But not
the History Channel. This month, presumably in honor of Black History Month, the History Channel is airing
Honor
Deferred. Narrated by Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson, the documentary pairs historical photos and video archives
with interviews of the black men who served in the 761st. The men spent 183 consecutive days in combat, fighting Nazi
Germany and its allies. It comes highly recommended
by
reviewers as an important piece of American history.
