 NEW YORK (AP) - The new "Transformers" movie boasts a good cast, but it's got nothing on the original.
In a classic bit of movie trivia, the little-seen 1986 animated film "Transformers: The Movie" was Orson Welles' last film. Yes, that Orson Welles.
The filmmaking legend who remade cinema with "Citizen Kane" (which just again topped AFI's list of 100 greatest movies), directed "Touch of Evil," starred in "The Third Man," impeccably adapted Shakespeare to the screen and panicked the nation with his infamous radio broadcast of "War of the Worlds" — concluded his career by playing Unicron, an evil shape-shifting planet moon.
