  • I really wonder,why "Strike Back" gets so little love on this forum. I find,that the last two years I'm looking more forward to this show than for just about anything coming to the cinemas ( sure,a new Bond film is always the exception,but you all k…

  • Well, that's easy. Since there is no better Spy Novel existent than "The Spy who came in from the Cold" which is quite simple the quintessence of what the Genre is all about and Coincidentally also no Movie clinching closer to its literary source, i…

  • I would just like to thank everybody here who was recommending "I am Pilgrim". This really is a truly excellent Book and whatever weaknesses it might have are outweighed by far by Terry Hayes' delightfull prose and his complex and insightful Hero. …

  • It's worth noting,that this is the ONE film that really improves a lot,when seen on a (as large as possible) TV Set,especially in the PTS. Suddenly things come together somehow. I still remember how astonished I was, when leaving the Cinema back in…
  • What impresses me most about Ms. Volpe is that she is the only Woman in the whole series, that makes Fun of Bond. The Way she treats him, after he indicates that he just bedded her in the Name of duty and that she thinks too highly of herself, makes…
