Ronda Rousey is the real deal. Since showing up on the mixed martial arts scene a few years ago, the Olympic Judoka has been unstoppable, armbarring and KO’ing her way through every single opponent placed in front of her as she claimed and then repeatedly defended her UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship, with almost none of her foes even seeing the …
It barely takes fifteen minutes into Furious 7 before Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham go head to shaven head in a landscape-rearranging dust-up that ends in broken bodies and a smoldering building.

Well prepare to have your Ferrari of a quarterback sacked by the Mac truck of a linebacker as this terrible American soccer football and vehicular metaphor …
You’ve got to love The Expendables movies. They’re balls to the walls action and make no fuss of having such fancy concepts as an adherence to the laws of physics and proper acting. That, and they’re stuffed with more big-name actors than a badly-sung version of Save The World. Unless you’re greedy and lazy that is. The Expendables 3 is …
EA's upcoming UFC game is shaping up to be quite a brawler.
Thanks to the work of Sylvester Stallone and his two Expendables movies, old people shooting guns are now considered cool, and not just menaces to society as my grandma and her M4 Carbine found out (hey, she lives in a rough neighbourhood!). But sooner or later, some young whippersnappers also need a chance to blow stuff up with the geriatrics, and that’s …
Cash once ruled Colorado commerce. From Denver’s neighborhood diners to mountain-town gift shops, physical …
