Michael Bay News
Any chance that new sci-fi thriller “Project Almanac” has of a strong opening during Super Bowl weekend looks to be in jeopardy.
The Michael Bay-produced film already faced stiff competition with Bradley Cooper‘s “American Sniper,” but now it is garnering mostly mixed reviews from critics, and currently sits at an underwhelming 32 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes production company bring the classic board game to life in the new horror movie Ouija. Olivia Cooke stars as Laine, a high school student whose quest to find out what happened to her dead bestie unleashes supernatural fury upon her and her pals.
After her lifelong friend Debbie suddenly dies, Laine finds an old Ouija board in the girl's bedroom. She uses the board in an attempt to say goodbye to her friend, but instead encounters the board's resident spirit (who calls itself DZ).
