Another movie to jump on the prequel bandwagon.... SF:TLOCL (Abbreviated for time) tells the story of Chun Li, the ninja-ing gal known for her upside down helicopter kicks in the Capcom Game. I, personally, never chose to fight with her when playing. I always went with Blanka or Dhalsim or Guile....The producers of this movie should have done the same. If you are going to create a movie, why not start with one of the more exciting characters (ie: Blanka- a green, electrifying creature from Brazil). SF:TLOCL tells the saddening story of a girl who was separated from her parents by a madman (M. Bison) and her passionate attempt to seek revenge on her families killers.
With only a few of the characters taking part in this movie, I can only assume they plan on making more. Hopefully not too many more. Pretty boring for a martial arts movie and, like I said, they could have had some more of the "cool" characters from one of the best fighting games of my middle school years.

Green Flash
Named after an almost "mythical" event which occurs at sunset, Green Flash is about a former basketball star searching for his own moment of brilliance. After a failed basketball career, Cameron Day finds himself searching for his path and winds up on the Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. Filled with backstabbing, partying, love, adrenaline, and twists; Green Flash is a sports movie lovers dream. Sports psychology at its finest, this movie lends itself to teaching that the most important part of the game is having the mental edge.
One of the few volleyball movies out there today, Green Flash may seem a little cheesy and cliche at times but overall has a great message and includes the ever popular and my personal favorite theme of redemption. If you like the beach, sports, beautiful women, or men for the female viewers, you will like this movie. Its of the "pick-me-up" inspirational variety. It made me wanna go practice my bump, set, and spike.....If you want to see another similar volleyball movie that came out in 1990 and definitely inspired this one... go check out Sideout.
