It’s hard to think of a sadder commentary about Hollywood’s sequel fetish than the existence of Rush Hour 3. Dull, uninspired, and redundant, this third pointless movie in an action/comedy franchise that defines mediocrity doesn’t even try to disguise the fact that its existence is a money-grab.

1. Fruit In Your Looms Someone once said something along the lines that, Monty Python is to “funny” what chartered accountants are to “boring.” Who are we to disagree? 2. Python’s Give Live Birth The legend of Monty Python emerged nobly from the dusty corridors of Oxford and Cambridge universities. All of the British …

Criminals have been portrayed as exciting, daring and cunning tantamount to hero status.
