Your wish is our command! ALADDIN has become one of our most requested episodes, because it's one of the rare films that not only has a great game adaptation, it has TWO.

Truly one of the strangest summer tentpole movies of the last few decades, Warren Beatty's decadent, stylish, ultimately overwhelming 1990 film DICK TRACY needs to be seen to be believed.

Our unplanned Vin Diesel marathon continues as we visit our latest Justin's Choice: xXx! This 2002 spy thriller tried to disrupt Bond's spy supremacy with an X-treme sports superstar, and it's every bit as goofy and dated as it sounds.

Perhaps the only video game based on a biopic, but if any biopic lends itself to gamification, it's DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY. This 1993 confection is a highly fanciful, action-heavy portrayal of the martial arts legend that goes real heavy on the cheese. The belated video game adaptation translates the film's plot into an oddball fighting game. …

Though it was a hit at the time of release, the 2003 espionage thriller THE RECRUIT has essentially been lost to time, a footnote in the careers of Colin Farrell and Al Pacino.
