  • I'm in! And agree, @GoldenGun does a top job with these games!
  • Definitely TLD, really love what Barry did with it, and was a big fan of The Pretenders, so that was a bonus!

  • FYEO. I don't really like Hamlischs score, even though some of Contis music doesn't quite work, it's a more enjoyable listen than TSWLM! I prefer the theme song too!

  • Another one to watch of Bruce's, is 'Last Man Standing' which was yet another reworking of 'Yojimbo' or 'A Fistful of Dollars' for those unfamiliar with the former! Walter Hill directed,which is why I like it a lot, and it has a great cameo from Ch…
  • POINT BREAK (1991) Caught this on telly the other day, remember seeing it on first release. Just read director Kathyrn Bigelow has a new movie coming out soon. She's come a long way since this, a Bank robbing/surfing movie!! Keane Reeves plays the …

  • Amy Winehouse, though I'm one of the few who likes QoS theme, I would have loved to have her do it! But the story of her meet with the Producers is quite sad and upsetting, she just wasn't in a good place at the time! She was one of those singers …

  • Just read that they are rebooting another 'Judge Dredd' movie! The Stallone film was awful, but the Karl Urban movie was pretty good, though restricted by its setting! I had fingers crossed that third times the charm, after all I was a huge Dredd fa…

  • I remember 'Live Aid' day quite distinctly! Amazing to see all those current acts on the same stage. Queen, of course, stole it! Freddie was a born showman!
