My New Quiz: Follow the Clues to 10 Great Movies 2

A new quiz of mine has been placed online!  It is in the Name the Movie category, in Movies.  Click on the link below to play it, and feel free to leave comments!

 

    Follow the Clues to 10 Great Movies 2 (10 questions)
    This should be slightly more difficult than my last "Follow the Clues" quiz. Again I want you to follow the three clues to the movie. I will give you the year it was released, an actor and a location. Good luck and enjoy!


Hapland

Can you conquer these interesting little flash games? I think some of you might of done them before, some maybe not.

 

You need to click on each item in order, and each of these things leads to the next, sometimes you have to use timing. If you get something wrong you have to start again from the beginning.

 

You have guide your stick men through the puzzle without dying. Their mission is to light the torches, and that in turn, opens the portal...

It's quite difficult to explain these games in type, just have a go and the more you play the better you will get, it is mostly about trial and error. Both are "do-able", because I have done them both myself...

 

 

TV Addictions

Up until recently I have never been a massive TV fan, but a change in lifestyle has made it necessary to just blob out in the evenings for a couple of hours. As a result of this I've been watching a lot of American fictional TV,  so I thought I would let you know my current favourite programmes...

 

Boston Legal - Very well made, clever and sometimes extremely funny but also very thought provoking at times.  

 

CSI - I find all the CSIs excellent (although I don't really like Caruso's character), I have always had an interest in forensic science. I like the way the investigations pan out, the techniques they use to get evidence etc. Sometimes the extra's are not up to much though!

 

Lost, series 2 - Not as intriguing as the first series but still a really good watch. Did they change directors? 

 

Criminal Minds -  A new crime drama, a small elite team of FBI profilers fly around America trouble shooting serious crimes. The characters are filling out a bit now, and I enjoy the interaction between the main guy and his geeky protege.

 

Bones - The guy from Angel (I think), plays an FBI agent who teams up with a bunch of forensic anthropologists to solve crimes. Usually all they have is a body to work on, and it's interesting to see some of the ways they get evidence. More lightweight than CSI but still very enjoyable.

 

Criminal Intent - Yet another crime drama, this has meaty, interesting storylines and good, solid acting. I particularly like Vincent D'Onofrio's character in this. He is quite strange and quirky, but obviously very smart.

 

Invasion -  I have only seen 3 episodes of this up to now, and it seems very good. Something to do with people being taken over by aliens, similar to Invasion of the Body Snatchers I think. They are not giving much away at this early stage. "Invasion" has a weird atmosphere, which I like. It feels a bit like one called American Gothic I watched a few years back.

 

And now for something completely different...

 

My Name is Earl - This is a new one to me, and I find it hilarious. Earl wins the lottery and decides to right all the wrongs he has done throughout his life, and there are a lot of them! Give it a try if you haven't seen it.

 

Trailer Park Boys - If you haven't seen this yet you have to give it a go. The characters are all despicable, yet so very watchable. TPB is done in a documentary style which is a bit like the British comedy "The Office".

 

P.S. The bullet points are not working, and I couldn't be bothered rewriting it all...
