  • I still think Michael Fassbender would've been a great James Bond, if Craig had indeed quit after Spectre and they rebooted in 2017/2018. We could've been three films into his run by now (2017, 2019 and 2023) etc....

  • I am hoping for some good sandbox areas in the game, perhaps mixed with vehicles as well. For example, how cool would it be if you could drive the boat around individual parts of this large area, meeting people, infiltrating areas, and slowly…

  • Mark Kermode interviewed Barbara Broccoli and John Carney about Sing Street on his podcast Kermode on Film, and asked Broccoli briefly about Bond He is a fantastic film maker. I am thrilled he is going to be doing it. Kermode tried to get her …
  • I just wish the whole PTS looked as vibrant and colourful as the BTS footage of them shooting it is. Hoyte is a fantastic cinematographer but imo Spectre is not his best work.
  • I can remember being very excited for Everything or Nothing back in 2004. The Official PS2 Magazine issued a demo with a couple of levels about six months before the game came out and I would just play that indefinitely. I think it was the opening r…

  • I love IMAX sequences and am all for having as many as possible, but sometimes it doesnt make sense to have some scenes in the full 1.43:1 ratio. Do we need the M office briefing scene in full IMAX? Not sure on that one. I do hope that, when it d…
  • Heads of State on Amazon Prime. Really enjoyed this one - Cena and Elba are great together, the dialogue is mostly quick and quippy, and the action scenes are a lot of fun.
