Dora and the Lost City of Gold
I have to say that Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a movie that is far better than it has any right to be. My son grew up watching Dora and Diego so I knew that we would get a kick out of this ...

Hulk
Before we start talking about the Hulk movie from 2003, we have to look at the state of Marvel movies in the late 90s and early 00s. Blade struck gold in 1998, X-Men did even better in 2000 and ...
Men in Black (1997)
