Rule #1 - Never Change The Deal

One of my favourite films, The Trainspotter, is now a TV series.


Looks OK and even has the same dry wit of the original. Plus it has car chases, good looking women, car chases, martial arts and car chases, so what's not to like. Jason's in The Expandables franchise now, so they've got someone else to do it. I wonder if the new film is as bad as the first...


Oh, yes. Can't see Mickey or Eric (although he was killed in the previous film, so maybe that's why: he could've come back as his twin brother looking for revenge), so it might not be as up-market. Still, it has Jeanclaudevandamme and Chuck Norris to add a bit of class. I don't think American's will be changing their second amendment any time soon.

The Expendables

The Expendables has introduced me to a new experience: feeling sorry for Jason Statham.


How bad is it? Everybody has a walk-on part, even Sly Stallone; Mickey Rourke acts everyone off the set, including himself; Dolf Lundgren acts in it; Eric Roberts is quite good. So, yeah, pretty bad. It makes even "The A-Team" look good, and that was awful.
