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.
