  • Triple bill tonight. Last of the Mohicans, Miami Vice and Collateral Brilliant films. I think Vice is seriously underrated. Just love that scene between Jamie Foxx and Javier Bardem in Collateral.

  • Has anyone seen his original take on Heat, the TV film, 'LA Takedown'? It's pretty much Heat but cheaply made with low rent actors. Worth a look for curiosity value. You can see why Mann saw the potential in remaking it.

  • Not Big Chief but a custom made Daniel Craig figure. Quite pleased with it 👍

  • Cowboys and Aliens Saw this a while ago and watched it again as it popped up on Netflix. Pretty good fun with a reliably good Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford. The special effects are all pretty good and it's entertaining but it probably didn…
