  • Dr No Wonderful stuff. Connery is just so good. So many great scenes but the meeting between Bond and Dr No is the highlight. Beautifully shot with Connery and Wiseman absolutely riveting in the scene. Love the way it looks on bluray 👍
  • Just watching Dr No and I noticed when Bond and Honey are being 'de-radioactivated' Bond's watch disappears after he takes his shirt off, then reappears when he goes to meet Dr No. Was Bond wearing a radioactive Rolex...? 😁
  • Hot: Pam Bouvier Tatiana Vesper Honey Anya Not my cup of tea: Fiona (probably not a popular choice but there's a harshness to her) Rosie Mayday Jinx Helga

  • Tenet Certainly an impressively ambitious project from Nolan, but this didn't engage me at all. Most of the time I was clueless to what on earth was going on and as a result the action and suspense just seem flat, no matter how impressively staged …
  • Rather pleased with this Pagani 'homage' to the Omega original. It's advertised on their website with a gunbarrel behind it, the cheeky blighters! The £7800 for the Omega is a bit out of my price range, so i was impressed with the quality of the Pa…

  • Way too many great moments to reduce to five... But here goes... 1. PTS. Really sets the tone for this new Bond. 2. Parkour chase. Bond action at it's best 3. All the scenes in the Ocean club 4. Bond and Vesper on the train. Cemented Craig as a …

  • During this lockdown I decided to catch up on some Woody Allen films I haven't seen. Deconstructing Harry Great stuff. Very humorous in places and loved the fact it almost was a 'road movie' Small Time Crooks Enjoyed this immensely from beginn…
