Flicks: ‘The Expendables’ had no choice but to be bad

Reel Deal: Flaws of 'Expendables' make it fun

The plot is paper thin. The writing is atrocious. The violence is senseless. The action is unbelievable. And the heroes – and villains – are expendable in every way (meaning I simply couldn’t care less who lived or died). But this flick’s flaws are what make it fun. If you bought a ticket to “The Expendables” expecting anything more or less, you just weren’t paying attention. The poster, for crying out loud, features a skull framed by wings of machineguns and mega knives.

Travel: Shakespeare's hamlet: Visiting Stratford-upon-Avon

You get very quiet at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, because that’s what you do at a church. But you get quieter here because this is the eternal resting place of the man who has drawn you to Stratford, the home where he was just Will, long before he was Shakespeare.
