  • I've seen And then there were none but wouldn't waste my time on Poldark. Agreed Turner was good in it, it was terrific production all round, any BBC Christie adaptation since has been hugely disappointing. If it comes down to Cavill or Turner…
  • One things for sure if Cavill did get the role he'd have no problem floating in any water based scenes.
  • No to Winstone, he's now a caricature of himself.

  • I've personally never been impressed by the guy the first Holmes film was entertaining and I didn't mind Snatch but I remember when Lock Stock was released and went to see at the cinema and left thinking it was the emperors new clothes, Richie just …
  • Rear Window 1954 It's between this and Vertigo and oh yes it does indeed hold up today. The mastery of it's construction and the set design is second to none, Stewart & Kelly crackle on the screen and Burr makes a sinister suspect. Thelma …

  • Yann would definitely would be where the smart money is at the moment although I hear Bart Layton due to American Animals critical acclaim is gaining traction. I've not seen AA so can't comment but it definitely sounds an intriguing film, any wor…
  • Although the song as a whole is not great White really gives the intro some punch and after that brief but visceral and heartpounding PTS it really sets you up for what is to come. That film really needed something like what was delivered, a fema…

  • I've been away and come back numerous times, admitted because I've bitten on some of forum members comments and back myself into a corner with my childish responses. I don't have a problem admitting when I'm wrong although my last spat was with a…
  • How anyone would want Mendes back is beyond me, maybe if you have an agenda to show Craig can't go out on a high and just want to prove your point that he can't and should have finished with SPECTRE. That is the only reason I can think of, as Bon…
  • Now this could be really good, I had the good fortune to see Dusty Springfield Story on stage a few months back at the Sheffield Lyceum and thoroughly enjoyed it. I remarked to my Wife though that one segment could benefit from more of an investiga…
