Alright then.
Couple of pearlers to kick off:
Bangkok Dangerous
Finally got around to watching it. Shouldn't have bothered really. You know those films that add absolutely nothing to any genre whatsoever, and actually have a negative impact on them due to them being so hackneyed and derivative? Bangkok Dangerous is one of them. Someone seems to have been compelled to make an action film that was both a John Woo rip-off and a Thailand Tourism advert.
Brooding assassin anti-hero who's just looking to complete 'one last job': Check
Moral dilemma: Check
Exotic locales: Check
Sweet disabled woman: Check
Sah-picy food: Check
Traditional Thai dance inter-cut with some gritty montage of grimy, criminal goings on: Check
Anti-hero finding himself amongst the spirituality and simple pleasures of a...ugh...more spiritual and simple society: Double check
etc. I can't be fucking arsed. It's all there.
I have seen worse though, and the local Thai sidekick is actually pretty fucking good. Cage on the other hand was as shit as his fucking stupid hair.
Hamlet 2
I can't watch it. It's terrible. I've managed 45 minutes and I've had to turn it off. I wonder what's worse for Coogan, the knowledge that he'll never ever come even close to surpassing his work of a decade ago and he's doomed to transatlantic failure after failure, or the fact that he slept with Courtney Love?
He plays some fucking idiot, ex-actor, teacher in a Tucson high school where the drama department is about to be closed down, who writes a sequel to Hamlet for the school's final stage production. It's all horribly manic, unfunny and depressing. Worst of all is Coogan himself, who looks like he was having a particularly sticky patch with his recreational drug abuse during the making of the debacle. I may watch the rest of it. I may not. Sometimes life is just too short.
