REC 3: Finally watched it... sadly not what I hoped it would be. Loved the first movie, thought the second was a quality sequel but this one just didnt work for me at all. It drags it heels considering the short run time, also doesnt really add any value to the plot line that was developed in the first two movies. It manages to totally remove any of the intensity or atmosphere that were the heart of the first movie and still there in second movie. The action seems forced and awkward, it tries to crowbar in a bit of slapstick but even that fails pretty miserably. Remove it from the franchise and its pretty poor, but if you compare it to the first two movies its fuckin' awful.
The Expendables 2: Wanted to see more of Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li but there is more than enough going on to make it an easy watch.
