"Rush Hour 3"
Silly and crude, sure -- but this third movie in the Chris Tucker/Jackie Chan franchise is also strangely brilliant.

  • RH 2

    For anyone who's every spent considerable time in Asia, Tucker's antics in RH2 were absolutely brilliant.

  • Newman and Redford They're Not

    I haven't seen RH3, but I did enjoy the first two installments and will probably get around to this one eventually. One thing Heather mentions concerning RH3 is the lack of chemistry between Tucker and Chan, and I have to agree that they have never seemed to register with each other in any typically buddy-movie way.

    Yet I find that to be part of the films' appeal. It's Tucker and Chan's unabashed clash of personality and culture, and that they find only the barest hints of common ground at the best of times, that propels the nonsense they find themselves embroiled in. Have they, and the filmmakers, discovered the virtues of anti-chemistry? That these are not good movies, and yet deliver a pretty good time, strongly suggests they have.

  • 12 greatest pop songs?

    are you going to tell us what the other 11 are, in your estimation? Is this a future article by Stephanie Zacharek?
