  • Last few films have been: Ghostbusters Frozen Empire (C) - fun enough, though overstuffed with too many characters Someotherhood - Awful, made it 40mins and turned it off. Top Gun Maverick - I am still in awe as to how good this movie is. Road…
  • Goldfinger is iconic. TWINE is snooze inducing.
  • I always found TSWLM a little overrated. I understand why so many love it and it does indeed have a great number of iconic Bond moments (the ski jump, Jaws, the Lotus submarine car, keeping the british end up etc) but for me its scale and bombast is…
  • I watched Fast Charlie on Prime the other night. I enjoyed it. Its not big or flashy or trying to be something it isnt. A solid 90 minute action thriller with some good set pieces, performances, and some lighter moments too. Not sold on Pierce…
  • Just wrapping up the final trophies and collectables for Ghost of Tsushima. Really enjoyed it, great game, hopefully they will announce a sequel soon.
  • If they also cast Anya Taylor Joy in the lead female role then we can have... ATJ and ATJ in... Bond 26 :D
  • To me, whoever it ends up being, ATJ or otherwise, its up to them to deliver in the film and prove themselves cable of portraying a compelling version of James Bond. So I am generally supportive of whoever until I am sat in the cinema and about to w…
  • Fast Charlie is now available for UK viewers on Amazon Prime. Finally, been wanting to watch this for a while.
  • I thought it was Craig who pushed back on the idea of doing a two part, back to back set of Bond films. A proper modern day Spectre duology of films wouldve been better than what we got, but I would argue that the film Spectre was on dodgy ground fr…

  • Purchased the Crysis Trilogy on PS5, its currently £9.99 in a sale (as a PS Plus member). So my backlog currently is: - Ghost of Tsushima (currently focused on) - Crysis 2 - Crysis 3 - Death Stranding - Resident Evil 4 Remake (finish Separ…
  • Interstellar on an IMAX re-release. A really phenomenal piece of film making. Shame it disappears up its own arse in its last 30 mins, but an amazing visual and audio experience in IMAX all the same.

  • https://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/bond-26-february-2024-update?id=05275 Why do none of these journalists ask follow up questions? Its infuriating. Straight up ask her if theyre even going to make one. Least it would trigger a response.
  • I fancy Lea more than Barbara, so Madelene I suppose.
  • I think the villain needs to be a stand alone entity with no prior history or connection to Bond or the supporting characters. We have had three films of that to mixed results. I just want to see Bond dispatched to mess with the villain and their pl…

  • The End We Start From A small indie film about life after a major devastating flood in the UK and a mother trying to protect her newborn child. Does a lot with very little. Jodie Comer is on excellent form as is Joel Fry as her partner. Small cam…

  • Lift (Netflix) Basically a big budget version of Money Plane, and this doesnt have Kesley Grammar hamming it up to the heavens….. Still, glossy throwaway fun.

  • James Bond | A few thoughts on decision year for the long-running series https://filmstories.co.uk/features/james-bond-a-few-thoughts-on-decision-year-for-the-long-running-series/ An interesting op-ed.
  • Back on Resident Evil 4 Remake and have made it to the library in the castle, Damn this game is good. Mega stressful, its very easy to get overrun if youre not careful, but ace to play.
  • I do find it amusing, I mean isn't the BBFC certification in effect a trigger warning for the content of the film (I appreciate its primary purpose is to restrict the viewing of the film to age groups). Are the BFI expecting an audience who haven…
