Lara Croft

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
In this first installment based on the poplar video game Lady Lara Croft goes against the Illuminati to recover the mystical Triangle of Light that has the ability to control time. Lara learned about the triangle from her late father who at the beginning of the movie has been dead for many years. It is an interesting and fun adventure/fantastical movie in the spirit of Indiana Jones. A fun fact about this movie is that while Lara is played by Angelia Jolie, flashbacks of her father are played by Jon Voight, who is Jolie’s real life father.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Light (2003)
In this next installment of the film series, Lara goes after what is essentially Pandora’s Box. In this case the box contains a deadly plague that our villain wishes to use as a biological weapon that he will sell to the highest bidder. Of course you know that Lara saves the day.
There is also rumors of a third movie coming out sometime in the near future. A prequel to these movies. Since I enjoy them and am wanting a good old fashioned adventure movie, I am curious about what they will do.
