Review "the Eagle" By: Rusty Escalera | - Around the year 100, the Roman Legio IX Hispana supposedly went missing somewhere in Britain. Nobody really knows what happened to them.

Channing Tatum is a little wooden, but he's more than made up for by Jamie Bell's subtle p ... Tags:movie, review, art, film, history, cinema, vids, tv, tv shows, shows

He Was Crazy...and He Studied Korean Karate With Me! By: Al Case | - I doubt whether most martial arts training halls, be they Gung Fu or Shotokan or Hapkido or whatever, have ever had a crazy guy in their school like Mud Car.
