The moment that stood out to me was where Bond drops a bomb on a bridge, killing Russian soldiers as they were charging towards Afghan fighters. As the bridge collapses we see the Afghan fighters cheering for Bond, to victorious John Barry music. …

That make think, which was the most topical Bond film? I think it would have to be TLD. It was the most brazen with Bond actually participating with the Mujahideen in the battlefield against Soviet troops, with Joe Don Baker being undoubtedly influe…

For sure, and it’s understandable considering how actors get hate by fans over STAR WARS. I for a long time assumed Jake Lloyd was impacted by fan hate the same way Ahmed Best, Daisy Ridley, and Kelly Marie Tran got. Jake seems to be luckier in t…

Yeah, so far SF is the only Bond film shot primarily on digital because it was Deakins’ preferred choice.

It’s definitely a deliberate style done to evoke a specific mood for the film. Bond movies have rarely done that with their cinematography, so it’s understandable that it may be off putting to those who are so used to past Bond films shooting scenes…

You can now bet that Cillian Murphy is official on Eon’s short list of Bond villain casting, as the last three Bond villains have all been Oscar winners.

Those are brilliant!

I have to ask, what is wrong with Poe being quippy there? Because that’s exactly how he was introduced in TFA when meeting Kylo Ren. “So, who talks first? You talk first? I talk first?”. Only he’s now a bit cockier after having blown up their Starki…

It’s kind of amazing just how divisive TLJ is, there’s almost no middle ground. It’s either one of the strongest entries or it’s the worst of all time. I really wonder how much its rep will change in the coming years. TESB was at its release seen…

I rank TLJ third on my list, but it in the long run could have been better served as part of Episode VII. TFA sets up an intriguing premise with Skywalker having disappeared and that the new heroes have to find him, but then the movie decides to go …

I enjoyed TROS in theaters, it’s fun and breezy, but I can also acknowledge it’s creatively lazy and doesn’t work as a “final chapter”.
-
TROS seemed to have been damned no matter what. I think Disney should have given TROS an extra year of development, especially in light of Fisher’s passing. Their insistence on sticking with the ST coming out every two years really hurt it. Should h…

Fett was a cool looking henchman, but that’s all he should have been. Bringing him back to life was like deciding to retcon Oddjob’s death and make a spin off film of him having a change of heart as villain and go forward as an antihero.

I remember seeing SCOTT PILGRIM for the first time and was surprised by how fun Routh was as one of the evil exes. SUPERMAN RETURNS really didn’t give him much to do in the way of fun because Singer seemed more interested in emphasizing Superman as …

I’ll take a short cape over Cavill’s dragging on the ground. That said, I thought Reeve’s costume had the best cape length.

That’s the thing, I overall liked S3 of Picard, but I didnt think the actual last episode was that great and there was a lot of choices I’m not a fan of. The strongest section of the season was the combat with Riker in command of the Titan. After th…

I’d give S3 of ENTERPRISE the edge, as far as serialized Trek goes.

Saw MADAME WEB last night with my roommate who’s a hardcore Spider-Man fan. I don’t often laugh out loud when watching movies but I was howling like Max Cady during this. My favorite part was when Cassandra uses her clairvoyance powers to cras…
