  • Could eat your dinner off of them....

  • Some of my Bond stuff...! The YOLT Action man..! Close up of Sean... Walter PPK....! Menu from 30th anniversary at Pinewood. More to follow as I sort out my loft!

  • Maud Adams delivery of her indignant line in Octopussy "I have no country! I have no price on my head!!!!" is hilarious, her acting is so bad! Most of Timothy Dalton's dialogue delivery in Licence To Kill has me sniggering....
  • Wonder Woman (2017) Great fun, and finally a DC film that mostly gets it right and doesn't take itself too seriously. Gal Gadot makes a stunning Wonder Woman. Her innocent charm is endearing and she does action and humour very well. I must adm…
  • I'd actually say that Connery makes DAF a much better film than it should be.

  • Hell Or High Water Excellent. Best film I've seen in ages. Reminded me of the Coen Brothers in it's plot, dialogue and humour. Chris Pine gives probably his best ever performance in this. Really low key and intense. Also good are Ben Foster an…
  • Have no affiliation for any party except I would never vote Labour. They've always been full of liars and lefties. Big on mass immigration, soft on crime and too ready to please minorities over anything else. Grew up in the dark depressing days o…
  • Another childhood hero gone. R.I.P Adam West. Loved watching Batman as a kid (and adult!) Also loved his voice work on the Simpsons and Family Guy. Also did great cameos in King Of Queens and The Big Bang Theory. Pleased I met him once.

  • Octopussy Really enjoyed seeing this after a long break. So many classic scenes and a really good story that gains pace as the villains plan becomes evident. The PTS is one of Moore's best. Technically superb and exciting. Some great moment…
  • No. I remember the second one was heavily cut whenever it was shown on ITV... I have them on DVD though.
  • Great series and I also like the two films they made, Sweeny! and Sweeney II The first one dealt with deep reaching government corruption and the second was about a gang of British bank robbers who lived in Malta.
  • A Cure For Wellness Quite enjoyed this. It's way too long and isn't as clever as it thinks it is. But acting is all top notch, the sets and photography incredible and it has some very memorable sequences. By the end it turns into something lik…
  • Robertson wrote: » @LeonardPine OHMSS is easily the worst Bond film. How would you come to that conclusion? It's very popular around these parts. Its in my top ten....
  • Robertson wrote: » On Her Majesty's Secret Service should be at the bottom of every list. You sound like a bundle of joy....
  • Life Better than I thought it was going to be I must say. As Aliens loose on spacecraft movies go this is above average. Some really good and nailbiting sequences, that also look great thanks to some stunning special effects. Pretty forgett…

  • Unfortunately we've let this Islamic cancer rise in our own country for too long unchecked. I mean come on, they've got their own schools, their own churches, their own secular communities and in some instances their own laws. Their ideology and mor…

  • Crimson Tide Brilliantly tense with a riveting battle of wills between Washington and Gene Hackman. Great acting from them both, and also with a stellar supporting cast.
