The King of Fighters (2010)

The King of Fighters (2010)

The King of Fighters is another one of these video game movies where the writers lazily use the “other world” excuse to bring us the environments and worlds that we recall from the video game. In KOF (King of Fighters) the participants in the tournament are given ear pieces which can teleport them to another dimension to fight within an arena of the...

SouthLAnd Recap 3.6 – Cop or Not

Tekken annoyed me, from the ugly character actors, to the cheesy Tekken City and the choice of characters to lead the...
