  • "Quantum Of Solace" at least has an air of mystery about it, unlike "Octopussy" which is the worst Bond title for me, hands down "Quantum" is quite a cool sounding word, and a nice touch to also use the word for the name of the new nemesis organisa…
  • "who is Bond's most annoying ally?" shadowonthesun? (only kidding... that would be Christmas Jones and Jinx, or can't you be an ally and a Bond Girl? in which case I might go for Rowan Atkinson, or should I not pick a non-EON film character? ah, I…
  • Don`t you just love it when people ruin an APPRECIATION THREAD? "We have nothing good to say...so we`re gonna say it anyway..." Yes, okay then.... =D> well said although I have to say I'm pleased to see Luds and co have shown more restrai…
  • Mulholland Drive interesting film watching it last night I thought it was developing into an excellent suspense thriller until the third act (about the time the two women went to the night club) when it ceased to make much sense to me and by the en…
  • The Tamarind Seed Julie Andrews does James Bond? as I was watching the opening credits I thought, "these look very James Bondish" sure enough, in due course, the name "Maurice Binder" appeared, followed soon after by that of "John Barry" however alt…
  • Cowboy Jack Lemmon and Glenn Ford as you might expect, a Western starring Jack Lemmon is a little bit different than the usual more of a life changing journey than a plot driven morality play or shoot'em up and not the comedic adventure I was antic…
  • Harry Brown Michael Caine in a vigilante movie which, after recent events in Britain, is looking more prophetic and relevant than ever Michael Caine does "Gran Torino"? yes, as the success of Eastwoods movie certainly inaugurated the latest fad for …
  • Bullet To Beijing the direction is uninspired, the dialogue is often inadequate and the supporting acting is generally deficient on the other hand, once you manage to swallow Harry Palmer's initial involvement in the whole scheme of things, the comp…
  • Unbreakable - Another clever idea, though the tone of the film seemed strange to what the film was all about. The film was about a guy (Bruce Willis), who cannot be harmed or become ill, and has not been able to for his entire life, but he does not…
  • Moby Dick I find myself in the midst of an unofficial Richard Basehart season, following on from "La Strada" however although Bashart is the titular protagonist, this film is really about Greg Peck's Captain Ahab character Peck is really too young f…
  • I can see the more glaring flaws with AVTAK... here are some things that would make it better: (3) Make May Day a villain throughout. Yes, her turning to the good side was a surprise and a help, but somehow it ruined her already pitiful character. …
  • But what we do know for certain is that TWINE sucked. 8-|
  • What about Michael Buble? I really respect him as an artist and this song has a really strong Bond sound. that's because it was written by the same people who wrote "Goldfinger" at around the same time nothing to do with Bubble
  • As for the one liners I can take them or leave them. I thought "that last hand nearly killed me" in CR was good and delivered really well, as were many of the lines in TB ("Wait until you get to my teeth"). But a lot of the one-liners in the Brosnan…
  • National Treasure Nick Cage in an "Indiana Jones" meets "The Da Vinci Code" treasure hunt adventure which I found very enjoyable The underlying premise is utterly preposterous but once you accept that, the actors show commendable restraint deliverin…
  • Ferry To Hong Kong Curd Jurgens anybody? exotic crumbling empire action-comedy-adventure directed by Lewis Gilbert panned by reviewers and disliked by the director himself, but I rather enjoyed it Jurgens does a decent job in the lead role, as the …
  • Sexy Beast one of the best of the post Guy Ritchie generation of British Gangster movies Ray Winston and Ian McShane are in top form and Ben Kingsley's performance is like a boulder bouncing down a cliff and landing in your swimming pool Pepe le Mo…
  • The amazing villain talents in the Brosnan era were wasted on rubbish, OTT, 1 dimensional characters. The villain talents in the Craig are are also wasted on under-developped, too low-key characters. And they got way too small screetime. Obanno? Mol…

  • Iron Man 2 this is my idea of what a super hero movie should be like, as was the original these and the first "Hell Boy" movie are the best I've seen from the genre, with "Spiderman" and "Batman" not bad either, but a bit behind Salt the premise fo…
  • Le Solitaire Jean Paul Belmondo takes his "Dirty Harry" persona deep into the heart of eighties fashion putting off a planned early retirement to the Carribean in order to track down the man who killed his partner only in France could a Police Super…
  • I saw Fat Ronaldo played his final match and retired on the tele last night in his prime, when he was at Barcelona, he was as good a player as I have ever seen however later I believe he picked up an ankle (?) injury, while playing for Inter, from …
  • Batman Forever (1995) Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face was fair, it was interesting to see him portray a villain as I'm more accustomed to see him as a cop or some kind of good character. 6.5/10 IMO you can see him as a villain to best effect in "Und…
  • three movies that revolve around the interaction of a small group of characters thrown together by chance in the face of immanent overwhelming danger three movies where that immanent overwhelming danger is provided by the American Indian The Last …
  • Quantum Of Solace quite liked the opening credit sequence, didn't mind the music getting used to the fast cutting and shaky cam action after several viewings didn't think Mr Whites laugh boy attitude was credible from a representative of such an org…
  • The Hound Of The Baskervilles the first of the Basil Rathbone "Sherlock Holmes" films and far superior to most of those that followed this is the real deal with Holmes turning on the deductive power and the hound getting a decent work out in the fin…
  • Messi and cristiano ronaldo are both great players and i think it's hard to say who is better. If cristiano ronaldo played for barcalona maybe people would say he's the greatest player ever? Both players didn't do much in the world cup so that is on…
  • Yes Cruyff could well have made the difference there... I hate "what if's" like that, that's why I prefer to see players of any sport play until it's clear they are past it, rather than all this "retire at the top" rubbish. Everyone should take a le…
  • Le Marginal Jean Paul Belmondo kicking arse and taking names Bronson style, in a movie that is better than 90% of Bronsons efforts in the same vigilante genre. When it came to plot structure, somehow Bronson and his collaborators nearly always manag…
  • Got to agree with @Luds and @TheWizardOfIce on Messi. The diminutive Argentinian surely can only be considered one of the absolute greats if and when he wins the World Cup. Harsh? Maybe, but Pele, Maradonna and Zidane all have - and, when they did …
  • Forrest Gump for the 200th times 10/10 It's still the BEST movie I ever seen in my entire life!! 200 times!? sounds like it's the only movie you've watched in your entire life might be time for you to watch a second one, that way you'll have som…
