I think it would be pretty petulant on both sides to either walk off a film over a casting disagreement or to sack someone over it. On films of this nature casting would always be a compromise between the director and the producers. Maybe it just be…

I'm late to the party but have finally seen Fallout at the cinema and despite a slow start to the film I must say I loved it. Everything that I liked from the previous two films and none of the extraneous humour which otherwise blighted an almost pe…

For my tastes it’s comprehensive victories to TSWLM and QOS. Still not sure where to rank SP.

1. LTK 2. OP 3. TLD 4. FYEO 5. AVTAK I miss the Glen era.

Easy for me also. OHMSS and LTK My absolute two favourites.

I must say the news of Vic Armstrong coming back is the first downer on Bond 25 for me. His action scenes are all far too languid and overly staged. I'll just hope that Boyle edits the hell out of them to give them some pace and visual flair.

Just got home from this and absolutely ruddy loved it. Much more enjoyable than the first film but that may just be because I've never particularly liked Colin Firth and Taron Egerton and Mark Strong carried the film perfectly adequately before Firt…

It's difficult to know what to say in a few words that could truly do justice to such a magnificent man. Never once a duff performance from this great, charismatic, captivating yet ridiculously underrated actor and a wonderful humanitarian and en…

I adore The Avengers and the Blu Ray releases made re-watching the lot again recently on another marathon far from over familiar. It's great to see them in such good quality. Loving the Blu Ray releases of Department S too. Perhaps the wrong admi…

Surely that's sympathising with the villain's motive than their actual character though? In the context of real life I find it easier to sympathise with someone whom shows the hurt of betrayal of his allies (loyalty being a key theme of the film)…

I can't say there's ever been an occasion in which I've wanted a villain to succeed but one of the great things about Sanchez (imho the best non Fleming villain of the film series) is that there are moments in which Davi's performance elicits sympat…

I love the script for DAF and Connery is palpably relishing every line he delivers. DAF has the best score Barry after OHMSS too. Always a guilty pleasure for me this film.

Just watched Goldfinger tonight as part of this years re-watch of the films and will be interesting to see where the last of the 'fantastical' Bond films finish. It's certainly currently looking like the Fleming holy trinity of FRWL/OHMSS/CR migh…

Missed the last couple of weeks of voting but can't grumble with the majority of the top ten. Reads like a John Glen greatest hits!
