I'm afraid to admit I haven't, but it's on my watchlist. Will come back to you when I finally get around it. Thanks for the advice!
Baboo Frik cracks me up.
OK the Sequel trilogy is a mess, though I really enjoy TROS, it's by far the most entertaining of the sequels. There are quite a few random crazy moments that would fit well in a Lucas SW movie.
Cy Endfields classic movie depicting the Battle of Rorkes Drift, where just 100 British soldiers fought 4000 Zulu warriors! Stellar cast of Stanley Baker, Michael Caine, Jack Hawkins and even minor characters like James Booth and Nigel Green, all given their moment to shine. Looks glorious in bluray, with Endfield orchestrating blistering action scenes, scored by The Maestro John Barry!
Great movie!
Very entertaining.
What a waste of Michael Chan and Lieh
NICK OF TIME. This is some real edge-of-your-seat stuff. One gets easily invested in the setup, thinking "what the hell would I do in his place?" I loved all the surprises regarding the people involved in the conspiracy, whom Johnny Depp would unknowingly ask for help in getting out of the desperate situation. Depp is very good, relatable and compelling. Walken provides eccentric fun; he plays the role as if he's done these kinds of shady things a million times before, and is now very relaxed and confident in his work. Charles S. Dutton and Roma Maffia also turn in lively performances. The music score and cinematography (very modern-looking at the time, I'm sure, with the washed out loook) are also enjoyable.
This is the third John Badham-directed film I've seen after Dracula, WarGames and The Hard Way. The first one was a decent watch and Frank Langella was great, but I found I didn't really connect emotionally with the film (incidentally, I watched the second version with the very muted colors). I loved the other two films.
1. The Bourne Supremacy 10/10
2. The Bourne Ultimatum 10/10
3. The Bourne Identity 9/10
4. Jason Bourne 7/10
5. The Bourne Legacy 5/10
You should watch Blue Thunder, also directed by John Badham! Great action thriller with the ever watchable Roy Scheider!
I will watch that at some point!
I have always been fascinated by anything going on behind the Iron Curtain and the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster is no exception.
I was impressed with how well they created the right atmosphere with excellent cinematography, accurate production design and a haunting music score.
A fascinating watch, and one with a valuable lesson to everyone one of us. There will unfortunately always be those who rather ignore the truth, or look for another less depressing one, just because it is not convenient to them and therefore bring disaster upon those around them. Undeniably, I saw parallels with the times we live in right now.
Recommended. Highly recommended.
Yeah i love the Bourne series although i missed out Legacy.
My favourite is Ultimatum. The pace is electric, the action riveting and it's got a nice tight plot. The sequence at Waterloo station is action directing at its finest!
This is the direction i wanted the Craig films to go, but alas Q and his bloody gadgets and all the other baggage eventually reared its ugly head!
Agree again with you! The action throughout is excellent, but that Waterloo station set piece is a cracker!
Yep, it's a shame Paul Greengrass was never up for directing a Bond film. The guy knows how to put suspense, drama and action on screen without all the pretensions.
I'm not so sure! When Greengrass stepped out of Bourne his other action movies like Captain phillips and Green Zone were only ok! And it was a mistake for him to return with Jason Bourne, which had a sameness about it!
I love Green Zone! It has a wonderful momentum to it.
Captain Phillips was incredibly well filmed but i'm not a big fan of 'true story' movies. Although his United 93 was a very powerful film.
Great fun, working my way through all the films.
Wow, I'm still trembling with tension. Great prison break film!
The Silencers is very subtle...
Revisiting the film was fun, DM must be drinking in every other scene. Its unlikely he remembered much about the film. I think his biggest challenge was acting sobre.
Also, it gets a big plus from me for including music from Thunderball in the end credits!
Excellent movie. Simply excellent.
ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ
Delicious film.
"Why . Does . God . Need . . A . Space ship?"
Those Matt Helm movies are so cheesy that mice will come for miles around to watch! That said they are a guilty pleasure and I actually play my DVD box set with some frequency. And while I’ve never read them, I’m led to believe that the Donald Hamilton books were a mile away from the light hearted nature of the movies. However, other than a "serious" made for TV movie done in the 1970's, nothing ever came of it.
I watched the Helm films as a kid along with Bulldog Drummond and the Flint films and the various European James Bond rippoffs. I have a fondness for Spy Capers even the daft ones, the Helm films never get dull.
I had no idea there was a later Helm TV movie, I will have to look out for it.
Looks interesting, I was trying to remember where I knew Tony Franciosa from, Fathom with Raquel Welch.

The great man's last film, I always feel a bit sad watching Steve Mcqueen in this one. Decent film Mcqueen is as good as ever despite ill health.
An absolute great question and true to the character of James T. Kirk who always lived his life without anybody telling him what to believe.
Generations - In which Kirk dies and the Enterprise D crashes and Star Trek Next Gen gets rebooted for the cinema, this movie will be followed by the best Next Gen movie "First contact", this one is a bit meh and I am underwhelmed by the whole movie, but Kirk was right he died alone.
