    Must admit, got bored half way through that Postal review... Couldn't manage to read it all...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I thought RocknRolla was getting a beating from reviews? But you really like it?!

    A beating? Hmmm...mind you, I only read the one in Total Film, which was a 4/5 if I remember correctly.

    Yeah I really enjoyed it, like I said, the solid entertainment of Lock Stock, with the maturity of Revolver, minus all that film's shoved-up-arsedness.

    Classic Ritchie.

    your epic review of postal is right on the mark. four words are about all that flick is worth.

    here's a challenge for you: i wonder if you took all of uwe boll's films and edited parts of them together, could you make it add up to one decent movie?

    Nope, it'd be a hugely incoherant mess ... because each film is a shoddy, incoherant mess already.
