lots of movies

I have a new second favourite thing: Emperor and the White Snake, a martial arts and magic film with Jet Li. It's second favourite after Woochi the Demon Slayer. Clearly I need to find more magic martial arts.

Divine Weapon is about a woman developing new weapons, rockets and missiles, ( Read more... )

Conan, the Jason Momoa one, was not ethically complex. ( Read more... )

So: more movies with more magic and more women kicking arse please.
... even the films where they're evil beat the ones where they're simply non existent.
