  • Like some of said we dodged a bullet with Boyle. I think they know how much the last film got out of hand, the last thing they want is that happening again. Thanks @peter

  • Was thinking the BBC needed to do a proper adaptation for Christmas and 3 1hour episodes. No one does Dickens like them, Knight as well, should be a treat. http://collider.com/a-christmas-carol-tom-hardy-update-steven-knight/

  • Tom Hanks for Philadelphia but to add insult to injury they give it to him the following year for that display of utter buffoonery in Forest Gump. I think Hanks was so much better in Big and Denzel gave the best performance in Philadelphia, Hanks…

  • I'm sorry but the way some members have been championing Turner they need to realise that they are going get called on it. Some of us are straight talkers and cut to the chase I'm afraid. Nothing covert in my opinions, just saying. I imagin…

  • SWLM (first Bond I ever saw and on the big screen, so possibly the reason, it no. 4 on my ranking and I don't rank GF as one of the best, I acknowledge its place, influence and how iconic it is but just enjoy SWLM me more) TLD (Not even a competi…
  • You know what would be hilarious and you'd have to probably to resuscitate me I'd be it fits of giggles. (can't think why though) What if Turner gets a part in Bond 25 as another double 0 a minor villain etc, pretty much would put a stop to him g…

  • This has more to do with Cruise and striking while the iron is hot, it's not like he gets BO hits from any other films any more. They quite rightly want to capitalize on the success of Mi 6 so the back to back idea makes sense but also Cruise isn…
  • Craig being more accomplished an actor that Cavill, I don't Know anyone could argue that one, without being laughed off the forum There isn't a comparison, when Spielberg casts Henry Cavill in his next picture in a high profile role or David Finc…
  • I'd recommend both, the new Arrow Blu ray of Gosford Park is a treat, the film has never looked better. As for Short Cuts, definitely one of Altman's greats, I have the Criterion of this and again it looks superb. It is full of very unlikeable…
  • Hardy is not Bond, please stop it now! He's a great actor but Bond he is not and no even if Nolan got near Bond he'd have more sense to cast someone else. Its like when Vaughn mentioned doing Bond with Fassbender a few years back, if this happene…
  • DEUTSCHLAND 83 was great, very much look forward to 86 which is yet to recieve a broadcast date here in the UK. Though Mindhunters is the one I'm waiting for, The Crown, The Deuce & Better Call Saul as well, I will confess have me far more ex…
  • FRWL MR Outside of GE I can't stand the PB era so a no brainer for me. MR is far from a favourite but its technical achievements, Michael Lonsdale & Barry's magnificent score make it an easy decision. FRWL over YOLT is this is a joke? …
