I'm sorry I'm in the Zodiac camp on this one. Se7en is my 2nd favourite Fincher but Zodiac for me is his ultimate masterpiece and I think he's very much of the opinion himself this was his greatest challenge to date. Se7en granted is for me th…

If it is true and it's definitely iffy to say the least. I think the importance of DC returning is getting blown out of proportion if they really have this amount of money to throw about then why not invest in the future instead of giving to Crai…

I wished they'd never gone back to London for the big climax. They should have beefed up the morocco segment, P&W & Mendes seemed obsessed with evoking the past, the potential for a big battle finale ala YOLT ( the film) was there. I w…

We've established that Tanner is a useless character and Rory doesn't need to be there but can we stop confusing this with his acting abilities. The same can be said with Villiers, he's pretty useless and no more than an MP surrogate for M but To…

My review sums up my feelings on this film, not only my favourite Bond film but one of all time favourite films. On Her Majesty Secret Service 1969 "this never happened to any of the other fella's" When it came to make the 6th James Bond fi…

I do hope they film a performance of Othello and it gets a ltd theatrical release here in the UK. It seems to happen quite a bit here in the UK, especially with high profile actors in Shakespeare productions. Maybe even Oyelowo and Dan will co…

BB did take a meeting with Elba I believe and that might have added fuel to the fire. Who knows what was discussed, it could have been about a part but why was it nescessarily be Bond, it could have been anything to do with a future entry. I d…

It will be good to see Dan play a villain for once, he can certainly do menacing, although I think where we'll really see Craig flex those dramatic muscles is Purity. Future looks bright for him with or without Bond, I'm sure many like Soderbergh…

The Shallows 2016 I always tread carefully when it comes to Shark movies. Unlike say gangster movies although we have our masterpieces like The Godather 1 & 2 and Goodfellas there are other films in the genre while not as satisfying there is…

Loved it from day one, I came to it through the score though, my Dad had it on an original LP and it was easily my favourite record of the time. I managed to track a fairly decent original pressing down over a decade ago as my Dad's by then was u…

Could it be any worse than P&W? I'm not saying we should just look for writers not as bad but I'd be willing to give Gattis a shot, Steven Knight springs to mind as well. The problem is that we have our ideas of who would do a good job bas…

Rose tinted specs are regualrly worn when assessing the Cubby era, take my study of one character in particular below for evidence of that. It took the Craig era to get that right and strangely Brosnan has been nowhere near this character, although …

I supposed you can get away with that on the train but the deserted Rome streets for that pedestrian car chase is never going to fly. I felt none of the thrill in the actions squences in SP that I had in the previous 3, the QOS car chase leaves t…

I really didn't and still don't rate the original Total Recall, both my brother and I left the cinema unlike our friends around us wondering what all the fuss was about. I think we'd only recently seen Aliens on VHS and were both blown away by th…

Just spinning You Know My Name's Chris Cornell what many would regard as his finest moment with his band Soundgarden, the superb Superunknown. Having 90's fest on the turntable and this follows Stone Temple Pilots finest Purple, another album tha…

I'm afraid I'm unlikely to shut up, for instance I watched many pull apart the Skyfall script and go on about the plot holes with Silva's scheme and that was for the last 3 + years and some are still going on about it. I feel very strongly about …

I used to think P&W were ok to put the first draft out then someone come along and polish it and maybe that could happen again, although at this present moment I'd rather their names never appear on the credits of Bond film. I think the trap …

I'm all for that infact Bond is ludicrous fantasy and should never lose sight of that, however gritty. CR was Bourne influenced but even the storyline when IF wrote it was pure fantasy. My problem with SPECTRE as it wanted to be a GF, SWLM type a…

Although Craig signed off on the ESB element and apparently thought it great so while he wouldn't have done DAD level Bond he thought this was a good idea. Look I know some would like to over look this element of the film but I honestly can't see…
