  • Broke out my old PS2 this evening and started another playthrough of From Russia With Love.Its still hard to believe that in 2005 they managed to get Sean to come back and record new dialogue as James Bond.Its a really good game and well worth a loo…

  • Rented The Anderson Tapes off Itunes last night having never seen it before.Its a decent heist film with Connery playing an ex con after another big score after being released from prison.I get impression that George Clooney was very influenced by t…

  • We now know that MGM are accrueing a one million interest payment on the money they borrowed for NTTD's budget every month that goes by without releasing it.Therefore,there is a ticking clock to when they can actually release the film and hope to ma…
  • Was going to watch The Untouchables tonight as a tribute,but i think his death scene in that film might hit me too hard right now ( It certainly made me cry when i first watched it as a teenager ). Could go for a Bond but id rather watch a film o…
  • Im in tears right now as i write this.Watching him as Bond and in his other great movie roles inspired me so much growing up.He was to me,the definition of what a man should be.Strong,confident,intelligent,charismatic. RIP you magnificent rogue.
  • On the subject of relatively recent Bond films that would be made different today...i believe that M would not be portrayed as so grossly incompetent if Skyfall had filmed in 2019.And being replaced by a MAN???? Twitter SJW's would go nuts!

  • Heres one... Even a movie as relatively recent as Casino Royale would be quite different if filmed today in this crazy PC world we are currently in ( Even without Covid ).Specifically im talking about the free running sequence near the begining w…
  • Expect that line up of film release dates to change drastically in the new year.Some will undoubtedly be pushed to 2022.

  • CR last weekend.Still an excellent film even though im not much of a Craig fan.His era really peaked with this film and while its one of the best its amazing how his next film ( QOS ) ended up being one of the worst.
  • Yeah its funny reading all the movie news like all the Marvel films that are planned but it makes you think that there wont be any cinemas left by the time they are ready to be released.

  • Dame Helen Mirren should have replaced Dame Judi Dench as M for the Craig era.If they were starting fresh,then retaining Dench as M made no sense.
