  • For me I'd have gone for a different director (would have loved Peter Hunt to follow up OHMSS) and a less silly tone. Still one of my least favourite Bonds. But as a 11- or 12-year-old I really enjoyed it, but I do struggle to get through it these d…
  • @ClarkDevlin Day of Anger (1967) dir. Tonino Valerii, has to be on your to watch list. Starring the brilliant Lee Van Cleef and Giuliano Gemma, this is a cracking SW. I have just recently ordered two-film set of the Ringo films starring Gemma…and am…

  • I thought it was an okay piece of action/adventure cinema. Alicia Vikander was quite a surprise for me. Going in I thought, 'Well, she's not Lara…" but she proved herself and I'd accepted her after just a few scenes. My biggest bugbear was the loudn…
  • Tomb Raider (2018). An okay action adventure film which I quite enjoyed…except for the incredibly LOUD music. A couple of awful songs play over the early martial arts and bicycle chase at ear-bleeding volume, then when we get a proper score that cra…

  • The Iliad by Homer verse translation by Robert Fagels. Read this back in 1991 (I think) and of all the versions I have (others being prose translations) this is by far the best. And that from a man who doesn't 'get' poetry. A towering achievement an…
  • If Boyle is indeed going to to it (depending on how the script is received, apparently), then at least we should have a stand-alone film with none of the SPECTRE bollocks of trying to tie previous films into it. A fresh start please Danny…
  • SpySpotting - in which a junkie Bond goes cold Turkey!

  • Heavy Horses - New Shoes Edition by Jethro Tull. Another brilliant 40th Anniversary set which includes the original album remixed in stereo and 5.1 surround, plus additional songs recorded at HH sessions, a new stereo and 5.1 mix of the concert that…

  • Red Sparrow (2018). For a 15 Cert this was quite a brutal film with a few 'sharp intake of breath' moments (and they weren't all the violent ones - JL ass shot being one!). A good twisty-turny espionage film that keeps you guessing till the end. St…
  • The One-Armed Swordsman (1967) 88 Films-88 Asia Collection. Blu-ray. Not seen this one before, hoping that 88 Films get the rights to Wang Yu's One-Armed Boxer.
  • @DarthDimi - loved your review of TSWLM. While it is a book I can take or leave (I do have at least 2 copies of said novel) I do applaud Mr Fleming for trying something new. A failed experiment but one that I wouldn't be without. Have you seen the…
  • Django, Prepare a Coffin (1968) dir. Ferdinando Baldi. Arrow Video blu-ray. Terrence Hill taking over the role of the titular anti-hero from Franco Nero, mainly due to their uncanny resemblance. A thoroughly watchable spaghetti western if not in th…

  • And did this actually come from MGM? or is it one of these 'an insider says' load of BS?!
