Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, released in 2010, starts out a bit surprisingly in my mind by giving what is essentially a recap of the history of Merlin. I understand it because it is the exposition that really explains what the movie is going to be about, which is Balthazar …

Pirates of the Caribbean II
My personal bias will come through here, as Johnny Depp has never disappointed me. He doesn’t fail in this movie either, playing the charismatic, hilarious, brilliant Captain Jack Sparrow. The opening scene with him as the leader of a group of savages is enough to cast this movie among …

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Bloodsucking Cinema
I have a confession. When it comes to movies I�m a huge pushover for vampire films. It doesn�t matter whether they are a blockbuster hit or some B-rated movie on the bargain rack at the video store, I want to see it.
