National Treasure: Edge of History
*Show is still airing* Number of episodes: 10 (new episodes premiere on Wednesdays) I didn’t want to like this. If it wasn’t Nick Cage running around a national monument I didn’t want it.

Black Adam
Well the Rock was a superhero and it’s just as you would have expected. Action-packed, a little cheesy, and has a subpar plot.

This movie is all over the place, like Pierce Brosnan being a … Continue reading Black Adam
