Who didn’t have a crush on Elisabeth Shue when they were a kid? Hell, who doesn’t have one on her now? She’s 44 years old and still looks incredible. Shue plays herself in the upcoming Steve Coogan comedy “Hamlet 2,” and by playing herself we mean she plays a ‘Malkovich’ like parody of herself; she’s quit the film business, moved to Arizona and become a nurse. “Hamlet 2” is wonderfully absurd and worth seeing. It comes out this Friday (August 22). The soundtrack, which itself is hilarious, features a great rendition of Elton John’s “Someone Saved My Life Tonight,” plus hilariously amusing and wrong song titles like, “Raped In The Face.”
