No rush to see this lame sequel
Even in his mid 50s, Jackie Chan is still a gifted martial artist and likable physical comedian. Chris Tucker, despite the fact that he’s disappeared off the face of the earth these past few years, is also a very funny comedian. So it makes sense that the two men should be able to team up once again for another installment in the “Rush Hour” franchise and hit comedy/action gold.
Fantasy film shines brightly
The summer movie season may be winding down, but there are a few gems left before Labor Day. This week sees an enchanting fairy tale that is equal parts comedy, adventure and magical realism. “Stardust” springs from the mind of author Neil Gaiman, and should remind most audiences of “The Princess Bride,” although this film is a lot more adult in its themes and villains.
Another flop for Larry the Cable Guy
Larry the Cable Guy takes another shot at movie stardom with the moronic comedy, “Delta Farce.” Predictably, stupid is as stupid does, and the star of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour has another unfunny flop on his hands.
