  • Can I just say this now, Aidan Turner is never going to be James Bond 007.
  • Mendes thinks Step brother gate was something the fan base was waiting for says all I need to know about his opinion on Bond.
  • Orbital Work 1989 - 2002
  • Hopefully Avatar will be a huge belly flop, teaching Cameron's he's taken one big assumption that anyone is that excited that this franchise is continuing.
  • I want Covenant to be good, May 13th will be an ideal time for me to want to go to the cinema before we go on holiday on the Monday. The thing is I'm waiting for the reviews if this gets similar to what Prometheus got I'll give it a pass. I ju…
  • Skyfall= Good SPECTRE = Seriously bad. I've always enjoyed American Beauty but never got the reverence for Road To Perdition, not really seen much more of his CV. I hope he never returns to Bond because he said all he needed to with Skyfall…
  • It's good to have Roger Waters back, really liking this, Wish/Animals era slice with biting lyrics and Radiohead's genius producer Nigel Godrich as a collaborator. Really look forward to spinning the new long player 'Is This The Life We Really Wa…
  • If The Last Jedi = SPECTRE we are in real trouble!

  • Aliens is a great film and Cameron's 2nd best but it doesn't hold a candle to the original, I rank no. 3. Weaver is exceptional in this, its just the gung ho dialogue starts to grate after a while but most of the set pieces hit the mark. It's just …
  • Practically anything would be better than the travesty that is SPECTRE. Don't kill Bond off but maybe a full stop on this era then reset with a new actor and do the whole SPECTRE thing properly this time instead of the ham fisted rubbish we got w…
  • Due to it being Bank Holiday weekend I decided to watch some Bond films and not the obvious ones I'd usually plump for. Moonraker 1979 First of all the good, Barry's score is a given, no the title theme is the worse of all the Bassey collabora…
  • I certainly wouldn't boycott a beard helmed entry, maybe Craig's swansong should be a director he's previously worked with, Spielberg knows the character well and is a fan. If he could pull off something like Raiders tempered with the strongest e…

  • Prince, Diamonds And Pearls currently spinning on the turntable. Possibly one the last great albums from the Purple One, although my Wife and I have very much like it's follow up Symbol (as it's known) saw Prince on the tour at Wembley Stadium, L…

  • Lynch has said that FWWM will pay a very important part in Season 3 so yes I would say watch it before you start viewing new series.
  • I thought it couldn't get much worse with Sam Smith but Ed Sheeran, like I said they got 2 back to back Oscars with Adele and Smith, the days of established bands and artists are gone. EON used to choose artists based on suitability but now it's …
  • The Rolling Stones, Exile On Main Street.
  • R.I.P Clifton James As much as I'm not a fan of both the films he appeared in, it always raises a smile when he pops up. Also not forgetting his uncredited turn in The Untouchables as the District Attorney, James Bond & JW in the same film…

  • The first seven episodes are television gold, the balance of the darkness, the warmth and the humour as rarely been bettered. Kyle just knocks it out the park and the supporting cast are superb, the late Miguel Ferrier's Albert Rosenfield in the …
  • Can't say I was underwhelmed by the trailer at all, I never expected much just a tease, still put a grin a mile wide across my face. I think there is a possibility that what is meant by the title is that Luke is the final Jedi of his kind, Rey ne…
  • I'm glad you can read all that into the film for your own sake but despite you seeing this subtle nuisance in SPECTRE a good number of us just think it's lazy story telling. P&W just papering over the cracks of a script that went off the rail…
  • Yep, just what the Doctor ordered, looking seriously epic but as it should be one big tease. December will seem a long time away, going to watch Rogue One tonight.
  • Quite impressed with this bit of casting, Jared would have been interesting and yes fans would have lost it but Law is no slouch. Continuing the trend of casting talented actors and not big movie stars like the Potter films, Depp is the only time…

  • Crusade is great fun but to put it on the same level as Raiders??? Crusade is guilty of turning Marcus Brody into a buffoon, the chemistry between Ford & Connery is the real prize. Raiders though is Ford all the way, great supporting cast …
