The Spirit

The Spirit Alright folks, the city screams and the Spirit of the city, its defender comes calling. This is a campy fun and ridiculous comic book movie. It actually runs a lot like the actual comic so don't expect a realistic look like say Batman or Ironman. This is Spirit, its ...

Valkyrie

Valkyrie

An intense thrill ride that left me tired! That's what Valkyrie did for me but yet...I'm not complaining. You see, the Nazi's were so evil that even a small few of them knew that Hitler needed to be killed because he was so crazy. Valkyrie is based upon a true ...
