Of Hollywood, Bruce Lee, and MC Hammernew
Far be it from me to declare that an entire genre of film is dead, but shit, the reels that make up Finishing the Game would probably be just as useful as a tombstone on mockumentary's grave.

Director Justin Lin Makes Bruce Lee ... Comedy?new
The Better Luck Tomorrow director creates his first comedy, a mockumentary supposedly unearthed from the '70s about the completion of Bruce Lee's final film Game of Death, completed with rather obvious body doubles when Lee died after only 40 minutes of footage had been shot.

Just Skidding
This film violates the axiom that a movie with all the intellectual rigor of a Hot Wheels commercial or a Street Low issue should at least feature charismatic stars.

Racing junkies would be better off browsing online drifting videos where the camera doesn’t cut and the people don’t speak.

This movie, supposedly about the Naval Academy, is actually a terrible boxing movie.

Annapolis is a thick but hardly meaty slice of old-school Hollywood hokum.
