Nick Nitro needs some dental work.

Hello Mr. Chips. X1000

The military always screws up stuff.

Why are we obsessed with bringing toys to life.

“It’s a Trap”

I could have done with some longer music montages. Just when the rock and roll was getting good they cut it.

Every word that the Commado Elite utters is a phrase from popular culture.Started to give me a headache.

That is one mean motorscooter Kirsten Dunst has. It totally E.T.s it over that ditch.
