Yet another cobblers sequel to the 80s action classic, as Bruce Willis goes to Russia after his grown-up son is thrown in the clink for murdering someone. This turns out to be part of a uproariously stupid plot featuring all the usual goons in ski-masks and some sort of plan to carry out a heist on Chernobyl (mmm, tasteful).

Not just a bad movie, but one which is only barely functional as a narrative - the various cartoony action set-pieces are competently slapped together, but the connective tissue of characterisation, plot exposition, and relationships is just not there. No wit, no subtext, no point.

Mmm, Chocolate
Yet another film about an autistic girl with prodigious martial arts skills forced to beat the living daylights out of dozens of gangland thugs in order to pay for her mother's cancer medicine. But a really good one, by the standards of the kung fu movie genre at least. From the director of Ong-Bak, Prachya Pinkaew, who almost single-handedly seems to have put Thai martial arts movies on the map.

The plot is, as you can probably tell, somewhat eccentric and quite possibly in dubious taste (the final boss battle sees the autistic kickboxing girl facing off against a teenage capoeira expert with Tourette's syndrome), but this just adds to the distinctive flavour of this particular chocolate. Terrific performance, both acting and athletic, from Jeeja Yanin. The fight scenes are stupendously well-choreographed, especially the climax (a vertical fight up and down the side of a building). I don't know which is more surprising: that this movie exists at all, or that it's real and also really lives up to its potential.
