Every once in a while there comes a movie that tugs at your heartstrings and energizes your soul. Alpha is such a movie.

Back in the 1990s, a little game called Tomb Raider, featuring a female "Indiana Jones" type character named Lara Croft, was introduced to the world. To help the game's appeal to the mostly male gaming audience, she was created with a large bosom and also used two guns versus a whip. The game proved to be a smash hit an... Read More
