Michael Bay made a new movie for $25 million. He hasn’t worked with a budget that low since his first ‘Bad Boys’ in 1995. Since then, his budgets have ballooned to hundreds of millions of dollars, and he’s become known for his horrible filmmaking filled with amazing explosions and car chases. The $25 million movie in question is called ‘Pain & Gain’ and, as it tells us on-screen, is based on a true story, which is very difficult to believe while watching what happens during its two-hour run time.

Here in the U.S., the Jackie Robinson bio-pic hit a home run this weekend. But the domestic market is apparently oblivious to what’s going on overseas.

’42′, which is the answer to the ultimate question in the universe, is also that historic and legendary uniform number held by Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play Major League Baseball. Brian Helgeland’s bio-pic film tells a polished and engaging version of the story of the baseball hero who changed the nation. With a phenomenal performance from Chadwick Boseman, both fans of baseball and a younger crowd who may have never heard of the baseball player will eat this film up. The box office will draw some decent money, even if the director tries to hit us over the head with what we’re supposed to feel.
