My biggest regret about Bruce Lee Month is that I can't end it on a high note. Game of Death not only alternates between hilariously bad and just plain bad, but insults the memory of Bruce Lee.

The most expensive Spanish film ever made, Alatriste is an adaptation of the "Captain Alatriste" series - and I do mean it's an adaptation of the series, as the film tries to literally cram the first five books into a single movie. (Originally posted on Channel Awesome on December 23, 2013)
