  • After seeing The Covenant I'd say Guy Ritchie has just won the audition for the job! With none of his usual traits, he's made a taut action thriller. Full of drama and deadly serious. Come on EON, he's just proved he's the man for the job. And…

  • Watched Crystal Skull the other day for the first time in years. Not half as bad as I remember. I quite liked the Mutt character. He's first appearance a nice homage to Marlon Brando in The Wild One. The trouble is, after a pretty good first hour th…

  • CR 67 is excruciatingly bad. A poxy dog's dinner of a film. What a disgusting waste of an incredible book. (Sorry I'm in a bad mood tonight..😁) So it's NSNA for me. For all its faults I really enjoy it. Connery is great, as are all the cast. Some…
