Musings on movies, connections, and what to anticipate, suitable for reading before or after you see them. I love movies, watch 2-3 per week on average, and write about things I like WITHOUT SPOILERS. The only thing I hate more than spoilers are reviewers who trash movies because they think it makes them seem smart. When a movie title contains a link, it's almost always a link to my blog posting on the title.

Hamlet 2 (2008)
A big soggy mess of a movie (actually short, at 1:32) with a lot of laughs between the cringing. Steve Coogan plays his usual self-involved loser, this time a drama teacher at a high school in Tucson who writes a sequel to Hamlet. One character says about the play within the movie, "It was awful but I just couldn't stop watching," or words to that effect. That's how I felt about Hamlet 2. Catherine Keener also plays her usual mean girl. I predict a long cult life for this movie, and its hit single, the bouncy "Rock me, sexy Jesus."
