If you had a dagger that could turn back time, wouldn't you want to stop Bubble Boy at all costs? Come on, this is exactly what Jake would have done.

So there's this Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie out and I saw it with my eyes. This is a straight blockbuster summer action flick. It's entertaining for two and a half hours, but you're going to leave only talking about two scenes and completely forgetting the rest of the movie. On a related note, what is it with Disney films making their "princesses" whiniest person in the whole film? I know that princesses may whine from time to time, but you'd think a princess who has lived in the desert their whole lives wouldn't whine about walking in the desert. The Princes always have the basic survival training, but do they just keep princesses in the darkest room of the castle and only travel by piggy back?

There's one odd thing though about this movie. You know how these video game movies love taking elements from the game and incorporating them (the first person sequence from Doom comes to mind)? This movie seems to use more elements from Assassin's Creed than Prince of Persia, which lead me to wonder how awesome a cross-over would be.

Creed of Persia anyone? You know it would at least be worth checking out.
