Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has copped its fair share of flak since its release. With that in mind, I was more than a little nervous when I took my seat in the darkened cinema. I'm happy to report, that my apprehension and nervousness was misplaced.

Contrary to what I'd read, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was not all that bad. At the risk of being declared a heretic, I'd rank it as number 3 in the list of Indiana Jones films, ahead of Temple of Doom, but behind The Last Crusade and my personal favourite Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull follows Indiana Jones in the year 1957. He's a little older, but basically still getting into the same sort of trouble since we last saw him in action. This time, rather than be pursued by the Nazi's, it is the Russian's that are on his tale, in pursuit of the mythical crystal skull that may or may not have been discovered by one of Indy's long lost buddies. The story begins in Area 51, and yes, it is more than hinted that aliens are going to be involved from the very beginning. » Read the rest of the entry..

Colon Cleansing is one of those activities I would definitely have to file under the 'pretentious', 'wankery' and 'waste of time and money' categories. I'm not a doctor, or medical professional, but the whole idea of 'colon cleansing' does not sit right with me. So I decided it time to do some internet based research.

The idea that, due to the polluted environment in which we live, our bodies accumulate a range of 'bad toxins', is an easy one to sell. I mean, look at the fumes pumped out the exhaust of the cars that pass you by as you're walking. You're breathing in those fumes at some level, surely they are being absorbed into your system somehow? Surely they are getting stuck in there doing you bad? Consider the food you eat, and the additives and chemicals used in it's preparation, the pesticides used on fruit and vegetables. Obviously eating this tainted produce is causing you to collect toxins within your body? On the surface that all makes sense, that's why it's such an easy sell, and why the 'cleansing' industry is such a profitable one. » Read the rest of the entry..

Share-A-Sale is the latest affiliate program I've joined in the hope of making my fortune. Up until this point I haven't spent much time looking around their site to see how it works, and what sort of programs and creative they have available.

At this stage I've only joined up to two of their programs, Tshirtbordello.com (an online retailer of funny/pop culture style t-shirts) and TFAW.com (an online comic retailer aka. geek heaven).

One thing I noticed today was that TFAW.com offer a couple of 'widgets' that you can display on your site. They actually look useful!

Here's an example, that would be great if you had a comics site: » Read the rest of the entry..

I logged into Predictify this morning after neglecting my account for a few weeks and noticed they have redesigned their site a little. The basic functionality is the same, however they've tarted it up slightly with some 'web 2.0' gradients. Very nice, but the real news is a noticed there were more paid predictions available that the last time I visited. I also noticed I made $1.17 by predicting the opening weekend takings for Harold and Kumar 2. It's nice to be paid for foreseeing the future.

In other news, you may have been one of the people to have missed my outrageously professional review of the direct to DVD title, Day of the Dead, due to the over whelming popularity, not to mention animal magnetism, of Paris Hilton's camel toe.

It's Tuesday, and I've got a case of the Monday's. What does that mean?

I guess technically this case study from the Swollen Pickles Institute for Camel Toe research, featuring the shy and retiring Paris Hilton should probably contain a NSFW warning. So there you go, consider that the warning...

Poor old Paris Hilton just does not know when to keep her privates private. Some one really needs to sit her down and run through some of the finer points of how to wear under garments.

As you can see from her demure pose, she's all about the look, but I think she may have overlooked one important thing... the red carpet is not the place to be flashing around the camel toe! » Read the rest of the entry..

Oh yeah, movie of the year is on the way!!! No, not Dark Knight, I'm talking Step Brothers!

Step Brothers stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, and follows the story of two guys brought together when their parents marry. After some initial drama, they form a strong bond over their liking of John Stamos.

Touching.

Warning: Contains adult themes and some coarse language.

I'd heard rumors that this film was going into production, but to be honest, I never actually thought it'd see the light of day. Definitely a bizarre premise for a movie, and if the preview is anything to go by, this is definitely not one to sit down and watch with your Mum... or Mom for the US readers... wow, I'm a smooth cunning bi-linguist...

Anyway, if sit back and watch the 'teaser' trailer, just make sure that your boss isn't looking over your shoulder, or there are impressionable young minds within ear shot. If dick and ball jokes are your thing, then you'll like it...

And if that wasn't enough to make you blush, how about this adorable little song, I'm F***ing Seth Rogan.
