This week marks the tenth anniversary of Matthew Vaughn's X-Men First Class, a soft reboot of the X-Men film saga that was first brought to screen in 2000.

Directed by Mario Van Peebles, New Jack City depicts the rise and fall of Nino Brown (Wesley Snipes), a small time hustler turned drug kingpin. Desperate to stop him, a headstrong detective puts together a task force that in...
