Dogma

Certificate 15
Starring Matt Damon, Salma Hayek, Alanis Morisette as God (doh!)


Suprisingly this was quality entertainment. It's one of those nothing films, you know, one you enjoy but don;t really remember too much.

Anyway, two angels (one of which is MD) are trying to get back into heaven and to do so must go through this arch-thing at a catholic church in New Jersey. However because they've been chucked out once already, and because God is infallible if they get back it means they've broken God's infallibility and this signals the end of the human race.

So, anyway they go around killing a few people and while this is happening a woman is being hassled to go to New Jersey and stop them. Being guided by the physical side of the 'Voice of God', the 13th Apostle ("Hell man, they wouldn't mention me in the Bible 'cos of the colour of my skin!!") and two 'prophets' who are both obsessed with shagging her ("Let's get this right, you can come with us if you promise to shag me if there's only five minutes of life left on Earth!").

Anyway, God decides to take a golf trip to Earth and so can't stop the two angels going through this arch-thing because she's imprisoned in a human body in a coma.

Anyway, there's a few quality laughs along the way, nothing amazing but thoroughly enjoyable all the same!
