My Thoughts:
My favorite Asterix movie that I have seen (I know the first six animated movies). I always enjoy it. On the German DVD releases, each movie is additionally dubbed in one of the German dialects. This one is dubbed in Bavarian (my own dialect) and it is even additional joy to watch it like that

In The Electric Mist, a review by Rich
In The Electric Mist
Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones leads an all-star cast in this psychological thriller based on the bestselling novel by James Lee Burke.
While on an investigation into a series of grisly murders, veteran detective Dave Robicheaux (Jones) navigates his way through the Louisiana bayou and the dark, sultry world of New Orleans mobster "Baby Feet" Balboni (John Goodman). Layers of corruption and long-dead secrets reawaken grudges and a lethal alliance A tangled web of killings, past and present, converges in a shocking showdown with stakes that become deeply personal to Robicheaux and his family. Featuring music from five-time GRAMMY Award-winner Buddy Guy, this film takes you deep into Cajun country's hidden worlds.
Prepare yourself for a yawnfest, as Grandad Jones creaks out another typecast role as an ageing hard man cop from the South.
Slow, ponderous story, led by Jones who looks like he needs a zimmer frame to walk more than 20 paces, and we are meant to believe he is this tough guy who rights the wrongs? Goodman just doesn't suit the gangster role, and looks uncomfortable in every scene. There is no suspense or intrigue, little drama, the characters are shallow, the ghost is pointless, the script dull.
The cover blurb is so misleading as to probably warrant a complaint to the false advertising bureau - tangled web/shocking showdown/sultry world - I wish!!
The setting and atmosphere of Cajun country is about the only redeeeming feature in a wholly disappointing feature film.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
1.01 Chapter 1
This is the first Clone Wars TV series. Never saw the newer one. This series put me off completely from the modern Star Wars. There is only one true Star Wars, and that is the original trilogy.
