  • Seriously when you consider the likes of Bond lackeys like Cec Linder and Norman Burton playing Leiter and we are criticising Wright, I think he plays it relaxed and not comatose, EON are lucky to have such an actor playing the role. Hopefully he…

  • Looks like Dan got a narrow escape not taking that role in Monuments Men, the word is that Clooney totally dropped the ball on this one and the reviews have been pretty scathing. Even though Dan wasn't going to appear I was still quite intrigued …
  • Great news that Kinnear is back, he's without doubt one of the finest actors around in the UK at the moment. Hoping Penny Dreadful is as good as it's sounds, with that pedigree I'd certainly hope so. Logan writing, Mendes producing and Eva, Tim …
  • Dallas Buyers Club 2014 The continued renaissance of Matthew McConaughey has become a hot topic, an actor who had become famous from starring in Romantic Comedies and mostly recognised for that genre started a new beginning when he starred in dra…

  • Behind The Candelabra 2013 I was most curious from the moment this was green lit, the thought of Douglas donning the wigs and costumes and portraying Liberace was too much of an offer to miss and he doesn't disappoint. One of his greatest perfor…
  • I have to admit not taking Empire's reviews to seriously due to their past history of 4 star reviews for the likes of KOTC but I'm inclined to think they'll echo my sentiment more than Total Film. Thought this was a bad idea from the get go and i…
  • As much as I think Ejiofor should win best actor I think it will be McConaughey's year and his co star Mr Leto will beat Fassbender to the best supporting actor gong. That being said I'm really looking forward to Dallas Buyers Club. Not seen G…
  • 12 Years a Slave 2013 As a fan of McQueen since his incredible debut Hunger, I've waited each of his subsequent films with baited breath, Shame didn't disappoint and 12 Years isn't going to buck that trend. To think what this could have been i…
  • As much as I liked the idea of Fassbender as Bond long before it became popular, (been following this guy since Hunger was theatrically released). I actually went off the idea as it was becoming the in thing to say plus he's far too big now to be c…
  • I watched OHMSS on Friday night for the first time in a while and thought it has some great atmosphere, the Gumbold safe cracking sequence with a particularly tense cue from Barry. I would have to a agree Barry certainly is the greatest proponent of…
  • While I can't profess to be a huge art fan, I am particularly drawn to the work of Michelangelo Merisi o Amerighi da Caravaggio My visit to the Uffizi back in 2007 turned me into a fan and have seen his work in Malta, Rome, Dublin & London, …
  • (Spoiler) I have to say loved this series and this finale of S3 was the best of the three, still think Series 2 finale is my favourite so far though. Mads big brother was a superb big bad for this series, made me think either brother could have…
  • Not sure everyone should take the cliffhanger so literally, I don't think Moffatt or Gattis are this desperate.
  • I can't say I'm as sated for any film this year more than the Raid 2 Berandel, this looks incredible and will know doubt embarrass the majority of Hollywood product out there in 2014.
  • Loved it, maybe not as much as last week but was a nice change from the bigger feel of previous episode, nice to see Alice Lowe in there as well.
  • Man of Steel 2013 While Zack Snyder's film has it's good points, Cavill cuts a good shape as Supes, Russell Crowe makes a great Jor El and Kevin Costner all but walks off with the film. Zimmer's score is stirring enough and the quieter moments s…
  • Yes without a doubt, favourite Leiter to date.
  • American Hustle 2013 American Hustle is an entertaining few hours where director David O'Russell give us his best Martin Scorcesse impression. The cast are superb with Christian Bale and Amy Adams smouldering on the screen. Bradley Cooper, Jenni…

  • As someone who caught The Raid theatrically I can wait for part 2 and that trailer is immense. I think this could easily surpass Die Hard in the action and unlike the DH series this won't be diminishing returns.
  • Fantastic and worth the wait, the Bond nods were great and Mikklesen Snr is going to make a great Big Bad for Season 3. Both Ben and Martin were on top form and the 90 minutes flew by, welcome back!
  • When you are school kid yes, when you don't properly know what it actuall means to be Bond but if any adults have delusions of being him they should go and see a psychiatrist. To be honest when I see grown men posing with Walther PPK's in dinner …

  • I must have been watching a completely different film to some of you, this film seriously dragged, not as much a the kitchen sink drama of part 1 but it wasn't far behind and Blanchett is wooden as hell as Gladriel, she sounds like she's stoned.
  • Some people will accept any old shit to see a favourite character on the screen again, Raiders is a masterpiece and Temple & Crusade were very entertaining. Crystal Skull was full stop junk and no it wasn't anywhere the same as the previous tri…
