Loaded Weapon 1

Tekken (2010) Film
Is the 2010 Tekken movie a proper tribute to the game it was based on? Or will it follow the footsteps of the vast majority of movies based on video games and simply—¦ well, suck?

Watch Zoolander and you will go crazy laughing like mad. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson star in this and this is such a funny movie if I’m not mistaken during the early 2000-2003, not sure which period.

Movie High School Musical 3
Unfortunatley, my girlfriend found it amusing to drag me out to the cinema to see High School Musical 3. While she found it very amusing, and very entertaining, I myself found it to be a load of cobblers. The film itself was very tacky, and seemed like it was …
50/50 (movie)

Easter Parade is a very nice holiday musical with a tip top cast that includes Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, and Peter Lawford. It’s full of good songs, including the title number which is, naturally, the centerpiece of the motion picture.
