  • The likelihood is that Radcliffe did not say anything like what was reported, I think Radcliffe is a great example of a tremendously successful young actor who has not let the fame go to his head. He seems well balanced and always comes across as c…

  • Blu ray and DVD is out in September so not too long a wait. To be honest I'd rather watch a series at my own leisure so if I get into it I can digest that much quicker or if I like at more leisurely pace, this is why I loved Netflix having House of …
  • It's a big shock but a surprise? Lets be honest as my friend above says he's not been the picture of health for years. His condition mirrorred Tony's progression through the series and made sense but it was pretty clear he was not in the best of he…
  • After Skyfall I'd say Daniel Craig it for me is the best Bond performance yet, I thought he was getting close to Connery's FRWL performance with CR but his work in SF convinced me he's my favourite Bond now. There has been talk of both Dench or B…
  • Not a big fan of Dr No despite it having some great moments of the series and the fact I still really rate Skyfall and it sits at no. 2 in my ranking I think we know where I stand on this one. Easily Skyfall.
  • Just watched episode 7 and this series just gets better, the acting is top notch but Mads is utterly riveting, forget Hopkins and Cox, Mads is undoubtedly now the best Hannibal Lecter. The thing about him as unlike Cox and Hopkins he has a build …
  • I'm perfectly aware of both Herrmann's work and are a great admirer of it be it with Hitchcock, Harryhaussen or his terrific swan song the magnificent Taxi Driver. As for Newman I've heard his work plenty of times before Skyfall, as for these gre…
  • Watching a DVD now on my Blu ray player is instantly recognisable, the difference is plain to see, I've never paid over the odds for a Player, my first was £150 back in 2009 and I purchased a multi region LG player and that was £70 last year. and …

  • Newman did nothing as terrible as that segment of music that is used when the Sky Plane is revealed in CR, it was like pure Austin Powers, in fact whole Miami sequence was lots of pounding percussion with no melody at all. It greatly amuses me th…
  • I like Newman's score to Skyfall it's no Barry masterpiece but none of Arnold's are, his QOS was his best so yes I'd like to his return at some point. To be honest it's probably going to do Arnold the world of good having someone else step into his…

  • While I'm not really keen on the idea of Moneypenny being out in the field with Bond, those expecting an old fashioned Bond adventure with 24 are likely to be deeply disappointed while the idea of an old fashioned style entry might get the likes of …
  • I would say you have a faulty SF BR mine plays beautifully and if the DVD looks better you have either a faulty disc or the player is faulty or not set up right. The difference between Blu ray and DVD is night and day.
  • Aliens 1986 Following on from the events of the 1979 original, the Nostromo's escape shuttle The Narcissus is rescued after drifting for 57 years with Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and Jones the cat alive and in stasis. When Ri…
  • I did this a few years ago, I'm definitely in the camp that see's Alien by far the one ahead of the pack, it's one of my favourite films of all time. As for Aliens, a great popcorn flick with flaws, while Alien is a masterpiece, I actually prefer t…

  • Adele theme is fine on the credits and works a treat but on it's own it's pretty unremarkable, QOTSA would produce a memorable theme and one that would with the film or without it. Adele is nowhere the talent of Josh Homme, maybe a few more films…
  • SFTD is definitely worth checking out as this is some of Grohl's best drumming period, a good place to start with QOTSA and then maybe R Rated. Though Like Clockwork is pretty accessible, I've been blown away by it, one of the best rock albums in…
  • Oliver Stone's Secret History of America I'm sure this will have Republican's and Conservatives foaming at the mouth but being neither either of those I have found this one of the most fascinating and at times utterly horrifying series I've seen …
  • Thanks guys that's more like it, Timmer if you like TCV I can't see you being disappointed with the new QOTSA album. While acknowledge Grohl is one of the best rock drummers on the planet, Homme is another class when it comes to song writing, produ…

  • Someone Cool? Who are suggesting Beethoven?
  • Oh dear here comes the spam!!
  • As far as we know it's all media speculation including Mendes coming back, not until EON confirms it is it gospel, that being said I think bits and pieces are probably genuine. EON will confirm when they are good and ready, meaning when every oth…
  • Hannibal Rising is not unique it's utter junk, it pretty much buried the franchise good and proper, it's 2 or so hours I'm never getting back. Manhunter is so much better than Red Dragon, Ratner's butchering of Thomas Harris' terrific novel is li…
  • Great news, I knew even if NBC didn't pick S2 up other parties would be interested and it appears from the Deadline article there were. Just 4 episodes in now and I've hugely impressed, Mads is owning Hopkins and Cox in the role without a doubt, …
  • Has anyone been watching this? I've just finished episode 4 and have been hugely impressed so far. Hugh Dancy for my money embodies Will Graham better than even William Petersen did in Manhunter and leaves Ed Norton's limp portrayal swinging in …
