Indy homages are not a good idea, one of my only problems with CR apart from a little cringe worthy dialogue was the Raiders rip off at Miami airport. I always wish that sequence could have been dealt with something more imaginative than some pale r…

Seriously all this criticism of BB & MGW, so called pissing on the legacy of Cubby. Seriously ARB was not the faultless god of Bond some would like to think. Yes this is the same Cubby that told Spielberg he wasn't ready to direct Bond despi…

I don't know what to think I was one of those quite please at the departure of P&W but there is no denying they know their Bond. As many have already said these films rarely come from the pen of one writer and the polishing seems like a natural…

Richardson's work is very distinctive, Oliver Stone's more recent output has definitely lacked his touch as well as most of his films being junk since they parted company. Both QT and Scorcesse have used him to great effect, I'd definitely be int…

Chris Martin better stay far away from Bond. I still pray that Radiohead get a crack one day, the kind of intense feel you get in There There or Karma Police would be great channelled into a title tune. Although someone like The Arctic Monkeys…

As for the subject of Blu ray players playing discs from around the world, unlike DVD players BR's need proper hardware upgrades to play multi zone discs. I've just had to buy a new player and because I have quite a few locked discs the new bit o…

Still Nolan's best film followed by The Prestige. One of the most original and audacious thrillers of all time.

That's exactly how to see True Detective, anyone going looking for a whodunnit is likely to be disappointed but if you like watching 2 actors at the top of their game giving their best then you are in for a treat. There was an episode that totall…

I'm so looking forward to seeing just got to wait for my new BR player turn up which should be next week. It was released here at the beginning of the year and stupidly went to see American Hustle and then my Wife wouldn't go and see WOWS. AH wa…

I live in Leeds and love it, I'm on the doorstep of York, Whitby and of course the Dales, as well as not far from Manchester. I was born in Coventry which is definitely one city to avoid and lived in Leamington Spa for 9 years before we moved. …

Blu ray for the most part is night and day to DVD, yes some like ATPM are not great upgrades but I couldn't go back to DVD, unfortunately it seems the format has not been as embraced as expected. I blame the manufacturers, they should of stop pro…

I apologise if I went on your most recent comment, I caught the trailer at X-men on Monday and thought it looked rubbish, sorry I took your post out of context.

You'll pay the price of a cinema ticket to see some lame ass cameo? Just watch Django Unchained again. You certainly have more money to throw around than me, I have to pick my trips to the cinema carefully with the price of tickets these days,…

You have to be patient with it, the first episode is a tough one but if you stick with it you will be rewarded. I started trying to watch it on FX years back and gave up, someone lent me Season 1 on DVD and I plunged in, within a week I was done …

I've only seen the trailer but judging from that and the miscasting of Ray Winstone and Plan B as Reagan and Carter, I would say the Sweeney film is one big example of when it didn't work. It strikes me from the trailer that it had no relevance t…

Happy Valley BBC1 2014 We are 4 episodes into this and unless this drops the ball in it's conclusion this could quite possibly the best thing the BBC has done in years, scratch that, not just the BBC but British TV full stop. A thriller that can …

X-Men Days of Future Past 2014 Not since Skyfall have I really enjoyed a blockbuster on the big screen, they all seem to be crushing disappointments but the X-Men franchise is back on track with Bryan Singer at the helm. Once again proving he's t…

The problem with the directors cut is that the Dallas cocoon sequence doesn't make sense when relating to the later films and even Ridley said this himself. I prefer the the Theatrical personally and see it as the best for me the DC is interestin…

Seriously Bond is one big plot hole, clutching at straws in order to criticise this era. DAD is garbage it doesn't matter if it has less plot holes or not, some will actually accept rubbish as long as it's plastered with cliches and the Bond them…

Not sure what to think of these new films, a part of me is getting quite excited at the prospect that these could actually be what I didn't get back 1999, 2002 & 2005. I remember seeing Star Wars on the big screen back in 1978 and being wowed…
-
I think the problem is both CR and SF were critically acclaimed like no other Bond film before and those that don't like this new direction just find ways to criticise it when the whole series is riddled with holes.

Although I've pretty much given up on comic book films (seeing X-Men on Monday though) one film next year did interest me from the Marvel stable but that was only because a certain director was involved. The news has recently just broken that Edg…
