  • I was browsing through the 007 store and saw this James Bond Cars book by Assouline. Looks very nice, but I need to know if the Alfa Romeo from OP gets discussed, because I would find it a disappointing buy if it isn't... (Alfista here, obviously :p…
  • FRANKENSTEIN (2025) Directed by Guillermo Del Toro Definitely an original approach to the famous tale of Baron Frankenstein and his tormented creation. While certainly impressive, personally I prefer the Frankenstein tale to be told on a …

  • I think what is unsettling about Brandauer's Largo is that he can be quite charming too. The fact that on surface he doesn't act like a psycho but deepdown he has no morals. Zorin on the other hand, while very amusing, is just a straight up psycho, …

  • Finished DAF just now. I must say it's been my best read of it so far. Whereas I used find it to be a bit dragging in places, now I was fully engaged for most of it. Really liked the Las Vegas section, the finale and the epilogue-before-the-epilo…
  • I like the humour in NSNA, the balance is right, the dialogue is quite good, Sean has that twinkle in his eyes again.
  • HIGHLANDER (1986) Directed by Russell Mulcahy My second viewing of this charming, flashy, and another sword-and-sorcery exercise in style over substance. Perhaps the plot makes little sense, but I quite enjoy it for not even explaining its o…
  • RIP Mr. Nakadai. Not being as familiar with Japanese cinema as I wish that I was, I do remember him from Kagemusha and Yojimbo and thoroughly enjoyed him in those films. Though I don't want to reduce his merits to just two films, as his career inclu…
  • I personally enjoy OP and NSNA about the same, I think both Rog and Sean were excellent in their respective films, the villains sets are amusing in both fims, the locations interesting, although the action and main Bond girl favour OP. The dialogue …

  • I adore the Guglielmo Giugiaro design on the Esprit, I must say. But the Aston is just so synonimous with TLD, I couldn't refuse it.
  • I adore them both. Hmmm. If you would make me pick one, I guess the one from my favourite film would be the one to choose, so the Aston it'll be.
  • Didn't know where to post it but wanted to share something I thought about while listening to the LLL TWINE score. The very last track has David Arnold performing Only Myself to Blame, and it reminded me a bit of George Michael's style in the 90'…

  • Let's also not forget that back in 2002 OHMSS and the Dalton films were still considered "failures" (to my own dismay, I'd like to add); the films that were asked to be emulated were GF, YOLT, TSWLM and GE. Lee was asked to make a larger-than-life f…
  • RIP Lee Tamahori :( Lee's Bond film was my first ever Bond film in theaters and I will always have a special spot for that film in my heart.
  • THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (2003) Directed by Peter Jackson The final chapter of this excellent trilogy. I prefer the first two parts a bit more, with more screentime for favourites like Boromir, Saruman and Treebeard; but…
