  • I have just finished reading 'The Other Side Of Silence' by Philip Kerr and can't recommend it highly enough. It is the 11th book in the Bernie Gunther series but in reality you can read them in any sequence as Kerr doesn't write them in chronologi…
  • As somebody that was born in the year of Fleming's CR and who has followed the story ever since, I have to say utterly and unequivocally that it was '62 to '65. We had the best cinematic Bond (Connery), the best movies and the whole incarnation was…

  • smitty wrote: » I think it is Craig's taste dictating this. He tends to dress like he thinks he is still 18. Bond's look should be timeless and never trendy. Decades later, Sean still looks great in that 3rd pic. Craig's SF suits in particula…

  • I must concur, 'The Night Manager' was absolutely fabulous and much better than 'Spectre'. Hiddleston is a stand out contender for the Bond role and has everything required to make 007 much more Flemingesque. He can even wear a suit without lookin…

  • I re-watched Spectre last night and I have to say that although the casual attire works well, the suits really are quite terrible. I know that there has been much discussion and I am late to the party but those that urged him to get a proper tailor…

  • IFP could well continue to play the celebrity game. If they can attract a big name the curiosity factor drives sales. That said pre Horowitz, the choices of Faulks, Deaver and Boyd all proved to be disappointing and doubtless the critical and comme…
