Prince of Persia just looks like the same old shit with a "Persian" Donald Darko. Surprisingly August looks the most interesting, with Predators, The Expendables, and Machete. It's dodgy action fans nirvana!!

People really, REALLY dislike Will Forte
I wasn't expecting a Spiderman like opening but I thought given the dearth of comedy out right now it'd make at least double digits.

Is this the suckiest Cannes line-up ever???
Every day I'm reading just in case something I've not been previously aware of leaps out as a potential must see later in the year, but so far I got nuthin'. NUTHIN'!

Baghdad Cafe! I love that flick!
A true original. I'm surprised Percy Adlon never found some kind of Wim Wenders/Jim Jarmusch kind of career making interesting low-budget character driven dramas.
Bit disappointed not to hear about Robocop 3 though…

Seriously, Taken sucked ass. And I find it amazing how many people seem to really dig that movie. Didn't anyone else find Neeson's almost pathological devotion to his daughter kind of creepy???

Hancock reeks of studio interference. Shame because it's potential is blindingly obvious…

I really like the second one. The deaths are far more elaborate than the original, and it's not as lazily and cynically cobbled together like the third and fourth.
Plus, the car crash at the beginning is amazing…

Yeah Nurse Betty is a great little black comedy. Morgan Freeman's scenes at the end of the film are genuinely quite heartbreaking…

Dear Oliver Stone
Please find your balls again. They must be around somewhere. I was holding out hope that Wall Street 2 would be a return to the provocation-happy Stone of old, but subplots about Gordon Gekko reconciling with his daughter does not sound promising in the least.

I remember reading a while back that the Master and Commander sequel has been dropped. Shame because it was one of the best adventure films of the decade…

I'm with you, Wade. I've tried Blade Runner three times now and fell asleep every single time. I think the only film he's made that is worthy of being called a masterpiece is Alien, but everything since has been pretty unremarkable. I've enjoyed many of his films, but most of them are just too over-wrought. I really…

Did someone draw a penis on Coogan's back in Hamlet 2? Btw the timing for this MYOF couldn't be better as I've been rewatching I'm Alan Partridge over the last couple of days. Holy fuck I had forgotten how funny that show was…

Daybreakers
Pros- Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill, possible excessive gore.
Cons- From the makers of Undead.

All the Psycho movies seem to have a completely different angle to them, but weirdly I like them all, event the silly slasher happy Psycho III…

Airplane II: The Sequel…
I remember it being much funnier than most knock off quickie sequels, and better than anything the Zuckers have touched in the past fifteen or so years (any laughs in Baseketball were purely from Matt and Trey)….

I think Land gets a bit of a raw deal. It's nowhere near as good as Night or Dawn, but it's one of the best satires on class politics in recent memory. Plus, you know, zombie carnage!

I have a soft spot for Part 4 purely because Freddy gets resurrected by flaming dog piss…

Joe Berlinger went on to make Some Kind of Monster, which was one of the most hilarious rock documentaries of our time.

Bogus Journey improves on Excellent Adventure in almost every conceivable way…

Whose going to restore the balance now that so much idiocy in the world will go un-hated???
Loved your column over the years. Best of luck with everything…
