Has this thread died a death?

Octopussy is a good Bond, and if they had cut out the silliness it would have been a great Bond. Very watchable.
-
It's not so much name directors, but more the field they are comfortable in. So arty directors like Lee Tamahori (and I'll include DB in this), don't seem to pull it off. Just my opinion, really don't see Boyle being comfortable with Bond. I could b…

Hmm, like Danny Boyle, but Bond?…I don't know. Not overly excited about this 'news'.

A Touch of Zen (1970) dir. King Hu - Eureka/Masters of Cinema. Dual Format. Just waiting for Amazon to deliver the damn thing!

Films - like music, art, books etc, is very subjective. One man's meat is another man's vegan burger! If you like it, fine…if you don't, it doesn't matter, as long as you enjoy it who cares?

Endeavour ITV, prequel to Morse. Excellent televisual treat. I've only recently got into it. Never watched Endeavour from the beginning because I didn't see how they could do anything as good as the original. How wrong I was!

Outlaw: Black Dagger (1968) dir. Keiichi Ozawa. Fifth of six films in the Outlaw: Gangster VIP series from Nikkatsu. Another great entry in this series of Yakuza films. Goro is still trying to go straight but keeps getting embroiled in other people'…

@DarthDimi - 'nother excellent, in-depth review. And my biggest bugbear, that point that niggles, is how Bond is put onto Largo…it was just WHAT?! At least the film made a point of tying it all together but all the coincidences in the book are just …

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. TOM JONES. Lets bring back some class and a real voice. "And he strikes like…SHATTERHAND!"

A Pair of Blue Eyes by Thomas Hardy. My Hardy reread continues with his third published novel and one that I remember enjoying quite a lot. Just over a hundred pages in and it is as good as I remember.

Black Panther (2018). Pretty decent entry in the Marvel universe. Good story, great visuals and mostly great soundtrack. And it did take a slightly unexpected turn part way through. Which was great. Only slight niggle, no bloody credits at the begin…

@DarthDimi another great review (FYEO), looking forward to Thunderball. I know some people don't like short stories, but I for one love them - and this collection. I have always loved short story collections, it goes back (I think) to my reading th…

H G Wells - The First Men in The Moon. Read The Invisible Man last year, and this one's been on my 'to read' pile for sometime. So…time for a trip to the moon!

Up for this, really enjoyed TR, hope this is as good…or even better.

Another great review @DarthDimi. I think the filmmakers made a wise choice in actually getting into Fort Knox, as you couldn't set that up and then not deliver! I too feel the end a wee bit rushed and some of the mid section drags a bit, but still a…

Under The Greenwood Tree by Thomas Hardy. Having raced through Lee Child's Never Go Back - a fairly by-the-numbers thriller, it's time to get back to Wessex. This, Hardy's most delightful and happy book (the rest would be tinged with some kind of t…

The Dogs of War (1980) dir. John Irvin. DVD 99p from a YMCA charity shop! Not seen this in a long while. Remember me and my mates going to the Torquay Odeon to see it. The box office girls had some freebies, and gave us a soft peaked camo cap with …
