  • I'm hoping that it will be a 'period' piece and not updated. Am I going to be disappointed?
  • Our Kind of Traitor local cinema, a great little spy thriller from the pen of John le Carre. Just what you'd expect from le Carre with great performances and a satisfying ending, it's just nice to see a film that's not full of CGI, loud explosions a…
  • Anyone seen Our Kind of Traitor yet? Think I might go see it tonight, and X-Men tomorrow.
  • A Colder War by Charles Cumming. A modern day spy thriller, have previously read the author's The Trinity Six which was very good.

  • SPECTRE [blu-ray] - a mixed bag for me this film. There are bits I love (pts, monica, car chase) and bits I hate (trying to tie all DC's Bonds, referencing YOLT Blofeld, back to London for the finale, Hoyte Van Hoytema cinematography - let's hope he…

  • 1. Bond and White have a chat 2. The 'single' take at the beginning of the PTS 3. Assassin kills the assassins - Bond save Lucia

  • chrisisall wrote: » No love for Last Stand.... 8-| What a complete arse of a film that was. Singer should have stayed and made X-Men 3 and not made the frankly underwhelming Superman Returns.
  • I'm sure I shall enjoy it @DaltonCraig007, really like First Class and DoFP…and Psylocke looks hot!
  • Yeah, I don't understand this fascination with spoiling everything these days. Just a little something to whet the appetite is all we need. Looking forward to X-Men, probably see it next Monday if all goes according to plan…!

  • …oh and the inquiry scene - an old school friend is in it. Sat on next to Clair Dower MP (Helen McCrory).

  • 1 Welcome to Scotland - Albert Finney giving the bad guys a true Scottish welcome! 2 High rise fight with Patrice - brilliantly choreographed and filmed 3 Meeting Severine, fight with goons - great sequence I rate this film way above SPECTRE.
  • Just finished Scott Mariani's latest Ben Hope novel Star of Africa, first of a two-part adventure. Possibly the most shockingly violent Ben Hope book so far. And have just started Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination, which if it's half as good …
  • Captain America: Civil War at my local cinema. This was way better than I was expecting. And the new SpiderMan was a revelation, oh so much better than Andrew Garfield films.

  • Basket Case 2 & 3 - the first was a great low budget schlock horror, but the sequels were just effluent.
  • Just seen the latest trailer. Got a new favourite X-(wo)Man - the gorgeous Olivia Munn as Psylocke. Looking forward to this one.
  • The Odin Mission by James Holland. First in the Jack Tanner series. Having just finished Mr Holland's brilliant new history of WW2 [The War in The West vol. 1], thought I'd give his fiction a go too. So far very good.
  • The Bourne Identity The Bourne Supremacy The Bourne Ultimatum Having caught the trailer for this summer's Jason Bourne, thought I'd give these superlative action thrillers another viewing. Love 'em all. Hope the new one keeps up the high standard…

  • Not watched The Deer Hunter since it cinema run. But I couldn't get on with it, but it certainly didn't help that where it was shown (local council run cinema) they had been sent an anamorphic print whereas the project just had a standard lens. So e…
