Xena: Warrior Princess is the campy, feisty, sexy show we all need right now. The series, a spin-off of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, followed the reformed warlord-turned-heroine Xena as she traveled Ancient Greece in the hopes of atoning for her blood-soaked past. The series played fast and loose with Greek mythology and Roman history —...

At the end of the extremely stupid 1992 eco-thriller On Deadly Ground, the future pawn of Russian oligarchs Steven Seagal gives an embarrassing lecture about the dangers of oil companies.

From the mind of Gareth Evans (The Raid, The Raid: Redemption) — a man whose ...
