Actually, if you can switch off the part of your brain that thinks Sly ought to be able to act a little by now, it's not a half-bad pizza movie. Sly is more than ably supported by the rest of the cast, especially Jason Momoa as the villain showing Sly how it's done, and Sarah Shahi as his daughter, but Christian Slater is wasted as a corrupt lawyer. Switch that part of your brain back on, though, and you can see it should have been someone else's movie.
... about programming, growing up in the 1970's and 80's, games, science fiction, working in a charity book shop, films, spending too much time watching television, living in Basildon and Essex, and whatever else emerges from my fevered imagination. If you're reading this, it's your fault you clicked on the link: I am not responsible for your actions.

(Sorry, that should be "Bullet to the Head": watching Sly for any length of time does that to you). From my LoveFilm subscription, this is a Crime\Buddy movie\whatever. Double-crossed by his employers, hitman "Bobo" Bonomo (seriously) seeks revenge with the help of a cop (Sung Kang).

The Expendables 2
I'm afraid so. The Expandables are back. Think of it as me performing a public service: I watch it so you don't have to.
How bad is it? Chuck Norris tells jokes; Jeanclaudevandamme tries desperately to be really mean, and not to laugh at the same time; Bruce Willis and Arnold try to out-badly-act each other and get beaten by Sly; everyone looks either embarrassed or bored (Jet Li was so embarrassed, he left after ten minutes). Unlike the last movie, even being teeth-grindingly awful can't save it, and it didn't work then.
I'm not saying "Don't watch it", but if you do, I did warn you.
