To add to that, if you watch dogma - make sure you also watch; Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back and Clerks2.

There are interlinking jokes throughout all of the kevin smith films, and it makes them all even more watchable as you can watch one, then watch another, go back to the first one you watched and find even more things funny

Shrooms.

4/10.

Fans of word association will think it fortunate that it begins with "sh", as it is a short step away from another well known "sh" word.....****!

Quantum of Solace

Solid enough continuation of the 'new' Bond franchise, but wanders too close to Licence to Kill in plotting and the Bourne films in style. Which would be OK if it didn't suffer in comparison to both.
Not a fan of this new episodic approach either.
3/5

Indian Jones Crystal Skull Thingy

Could have been great with the usual Indy stuff going on but too much CGI and a stupid ending spoilt the whole film

Haven't seen this one, and didn't know whether to actually believe all of the criticism as being factual or just the product of nostalgia. Too often the old "the original is so much better" when that's not always true.

Sadly, it seems like this movie just falls down

The old Indy had the paranormal type stuff. Was all pretty cool but left you guessing as to what was happening as you never really saw all of it or the end, as it were. This one shows your the full bonzo, you're in no doubt what is going on and it all seems too sci-fi to me. It's a step too far for Indy IMO.

Caspian prince.

It was pretty much average. Average effect, kiddie acting, etc......5/10.

Darjeeling Limited

Starring

Owen Wilson
Adrian Brody
Jason Schwartzman
Amara Karan

Three brothers who have barely spoken for years go on a journey across India to meet their mother and re-bond.

6/10 Not much happens and while it is a passable buddy movie of sorts it does feature Owen Wilson heavily which alone is enough for me to remove a mark. There's nothing particularly wrong with it as a film but I prefer films where the narrative has a point rather than the pleasant enough meandering that this does.

Bender's game.

Very funny and feels more like an attached episodes of futurama series. I like the satirical approach used on several popular movies - LOTR, Star wars and a few fantasy movies. It is well string togther aand I like it. An 8 out of 10.

PS
Can I from now henceforth be addressed as Titanius Anglesmith please? Cheers. lol

Bangkok Dangerous.
A bit of a meh for me. Nicholas cage, playing the role of a hitman in this one didn't do it for me. It should have been a dvd release in my opinion as it somehow looks low-budget and perhaps rushed? There isnt much thriller and suspense one will expect with such story line. It is not that gripping either. The movie leaves several unanswered questions for me...Perhaps, this will pave a way for part two?
5.5/10
