  • I saw it again tonight. I enjoyed it once more. It's exciting, funny and relentlessly paced for a film of its length. (Spoiler) This one will likely settle below the previous three films for me. It's still a good film with a large number of…
  • Yeah, I'd wager that it's probably fair to say that a lot of people throw the same argument at the Bond films. Bond fans, by their nature, know exactly which film is which. Even casual fans may not. Thankfully, as a fan of both, I can distinctly …

  • It's possible that I may have expected too much, but I will qualify my remarks by saying I still found it immensely enjoyable for the craftsmanship of its set pieces alone. It's never dull. There is one particular choice the movie makes that both…
  • I am just out of it and I am unfortunately not as happy as I would have hoped to have been. The action is spectacular, undoubtedly - but while it's true that the plots of the previous films haven't been anything other than functional, this one was t…
  • Rey was badly written by all accounts, but Ridley deserves a crack at the character again. She was very good.

  • There are elements of the Brosnan era that were further developed in the Craig era to better effect, while certain other elements were done less effectively. Ambitious, admirable, but sometimes misguided and definitely imperfect overall. I'm sure…

  • We'll see whether they've learned from it. I'm not entirely convinced about the direction they're going in. It feels just as reactionary as anything else they've done in the last ten years.
  • I had the pleasure of editing this trailer for the team behind The Black Guelph, which has its US premiere at Dances With Film in the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles later this week. “Canto is thirty years old, actively dealing drugs while sufferi…
  • Yes I'd agree with that. GP seems to peak during its mid-point whereas RN builds to its finale in a very clever way. They're both great fun, though.

  • I listened to both of the videos posted and did my best to engage with Chris Gore's review, but when they came in with "the studio hates Indiana Jones as a character" crap about two minutes in, I found it difficult to take it seriously beyond that. …

  • I had a guy on Twitter tell me that the chase wasn't all that exciting unless you were the type of person to find people chasing other people in Tuk-Tuks exciting. Clearly I am that type of person.

  • I was referring to CGI there, mainly. I'd count model work especially as being practical.
