The Last Boy Scout-Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans both pissed off. Halle Berry dies by machine gun fire. Explosions. ;) -written by Shane Black in almost a hate letter to everything he hated about Hollywood corporate productions. Dark, funny, and almost nihilistic in tone. (And it has one of the most ridiculous WTF just happened openings...end of the football game) And I freaking loved it. As much as I have said that Tony Scott makes flashy but relatively lifeless films-this one was enjoyable. Even on a very early DVD that looked like crap. Really like a harder cross between Lethal Weapon and Die Hard.

The Hangover 2: Dragged to it. Not worthwhile. Americans get crazy in Thailand, which is depicted as an absolute slum. Should be great for tourism. The ending features a photo montage of more debauchery during the end credits. There is a completely tasteless and unbelievable reference to one of the most well known Vietnam war photographs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Adams_%28photographer%29#Pulitzer_Prize_winning_photograph

Why I have no idea.
