  • Watched my favourite Moore Bond today, For Your Eyes Only Such a classic Bond adventure. Forget how bloody well edited and shot the Citroen car chase is. Puts Spectre's unimaginative dirge to shame. Good cast all round and Carole Bouquet is a …

  • It's funny, but it wasn't a Bond film that Sir Rog made a mark on me, it was The Wild Geese Just loved his character of Sean Flynn. Moore at his coolest and made a big impression on a 12 year old schoolboy! The ruthless way he despatches the d…

  • A simple "For Roger..." Just before the gunbarrel would be just right.
  • Layer Cake Really fancied seeing this and realised I had got rid of my DVD copy when I moved! I found it was on Netflix luckily. Great film and one of my favourite British crime films. Daniel Craig is just ace in this and you can see what t…
  • Been listening to that masterpiece that is Tomorrow Never Dies in the car. The full length soundtrack is a fantastic score. Love the way Arnold twists the Bond theme in the track, 'A tricky spot for 007' just so clever.

  • Would never buy an autograph on Ebay. Its just not the same as getting it personally. I would never sell the autographs I have!

  • Looks like it's still pissing with rain in the future Los Angeles... Seriously the film certainly looks interesting although plot wise I haven't a clue what's going on with it.
