Here is a collection of short but important movie news out of Hollywood and from the Web:

• Universal plans to release Peter Berg's "Battleship" July 1, 2011. The film is a live-action version of the popular Hasbro board game. Berg told Variety the film is "a contemporary story of an international five-ship fleet engaged in a very dynamic, violent and intense battle."

• Harrison Ford apparently can't wait to return to the world of Indiana Jones. Speaking with France's Le Figaro, he said the story for a fifth "Indiana Jones" flick is already taking shape. George Lucas is busy working on the story, he said. I think they should just leave Indy alone for good. Enough is enough.

Everybody hates Megan Fox, even film crews

This is not exactly intriguing film news or anything, but it is darn funny and quite entertaining. Three crew folks who worked with Michael Bay before wrote an open letter complaining about Megan Fox and how she behaved on set for the two "Transformers" flicks.

The letter comes after Fox bashed Bay recently. I guess these guys thought that was the perfect opportunity to get their frustration out as well. I don't care who Megan Fox is, really, but if she acts like this indeed, I would probably never want to work with her.

We're just a little more than a month away from the release date of Michael Bay's anticipated action sequel "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," and Paramount is stepping up promotion a bit by releasing new television spots. You can find three new ones after the jump, and although most of what you see here comes straight from previous trailers, you'll see a second or two here and there of new footage.

Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Rainn Wilson, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro star in the sequel, which opens in conventional theaters and IMAX June 24, 2009. Love him or hate him, but Bay has delivered a top-notch action blockbuster with "Transformers," and something tells me this follow-up will deliver twice as much robots and explosions. I'm really craving that right now.

Welcome to our very first edition of “Rewind This,” a series of galleries we use to pay special tribute to a particular personality in the movie business. But don’t expect hundreds of pictures in these galleries. The sole purpose of this feature is to gather some good screenshots of a film star in order to highlight his or her career on the big screen.

In memory of comedian Bernie Mac, we chose to dedicate this first edition to him. By clicking right here, you’ll be able to look at 13 stills and wallpapers from some of Bernie Mac’s most popular movies, including “Ocean’s Eleven,” “Bad Santa” and “Mr. 3000.” Enjoy.
