REVENGERS TRAGEDY - Alex Cox's adaptation of the 17th century play set in futuristic Liverpool. It's not bad and has a good cast (Christopher Eccleston, Eddie Izzard, Anthony Booth, Derek Jacobi, Stephen Graham and, er, Margi Clarke *shudder*) although the decision to retain the old style dialogue is bit difficult to get used to at first. Also, It's nice to see many familiar locations, including Aintree racecourse, which is a 10 minute walk from me.

THE CRAZY BUNCH - Comic Spaghetti Western with George Hilton which tries so hard to be crazy and OOT but fails. There are still some good laughs to be had, though, including a Klu Klux Klan style group who hate politicians (We'll capture one and torture him by making him tell the truth for 2 minutes) and a visit to a mental home which features a rooster that barks, a man who thinks he's a dog (What have you let him out for? You know it's too early for his walk) a barmy doctor with a twitch whose methods keep backfiring on him and a guy who thinks he is the statue of liberty. The main characters are a lot like Terence Hill and Bud Spencer and I wouldn't be surprised if it was written with them in mind.
