  • "Edited: Just ordered To Live And Die In LA It's a Arrow release nice." That's a great release, @Fire_and_Ice_Returns . The gritty LA locations really pop out on the BD. Check out the ridiculous alternate ending. It's hilariously bad!

  • Arrival Hadn't got around to seeing this but finally caught up with it. Really good film. Intense and emotional in places and contrary to reports I found it moved very fast. The build up to them entering the Alien craft is exceptionally wel…
  • "a violation of the collective intellectual property rights of the originating culture." That has to be the most ridiculously PC thing I've ever heard! (As well as the dumbest!)

  • Die Another Day Haven't seen this for quite a while and quite enjoyed it. It's definitely the weakest of the Brosnan Bonds but it sets the tone early on and doesn't deviate from it so at least it's consistent in its silliness, Have always enjo…

  • Free Fire (2016) Coming from the talented Ben Wheatley this was a massive let down. Starts really well with an arms deal being negotiated in an abandoned Boston warehouse during the 70's. Trouble is once the deal goes sour and all hell breaks …

  • Finally completed season 4. Great send off for all the characters although the serial killer sub_plot was a bit weak. Still great though and as sick, funny and as violent as ever. Those headbutts by Lucas were vicious!
