  • Skyfall Firstly, there are those who dislike Skyfall intensly for various reasons. One of the odder reasons is that it was so successful because it caught the imagination of a Nation during the Queen's Jubilee year. Plus the goodwill of a people…

  • The World Is Not Enough This film feels so muted. I'm not sure if its the flat action sequences or the use of muted colours - browns and dark blues - or the fact there are no Dr Kaufmans or Jack Wades to add a bit of zing. But, it lacks something…
