So if you were wondering, exactly how it happened, Megan Fox found herself fired from the Transformers film franchise after referring to Michael Bay, in an interview no less, as
“like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation … he wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is.”
And hence, her career path, as chosen by her own words, has taken shape from there on out.

Jonah Hex movie review from Cinema Static on Brusimm…
Jonah Hex is an odd movie to take in that suffers with a lack of depth to its characters and story and completely ignores the comic franchise history. There are plot loopholes where connecting scenes within the movie seem to come from nowhere. Eh?
The movie stars Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox, Michael Fassbender, Will Arnett and others. It was directed by animator turned director Jimmy Hayward, whose directorial resume includes the animated Horton Hears a Who! and an ‘additional scenes’ director for Robots. Jonah Hex is his first live-person and 2nd directorial project.
Josh Brolin plays Jonah Hex, and if any fans of the DC Comics franchise were confused or disliked the artistic take on his origins, I don’t blame you. The origin of Hex in the movie shows that all the creative team did was use the character likeness and then went off in their own direction, ignoring the bounty hunter’s comic past and embuing him with an odd power to communicate with the dead.
John Malkovich plays the adversary, Quentin Turnbull, and though I really enjoy Malkovich’s work, he seemed subdued or muffled in this movie. He wasn’t set loose with his role. In fact, it felt like no one was let loose in their own roles.
