  • Definitely DAF - MWTGG but then SWLM was a bit of a fluke and possibly FYEO but then that was pretty silly. I'll always hold the opinion that Spy was Rog's best film, he was the right age and just perfect in his interpretation. I don't really …
  • Seriously if the new TP can't top those new episodes of the X-Files we are in trouble. They were atrocious, Showtime will be rightly expecting something special for their money. Lynch directing them all and that cast, they've also taken their …

  • Most important event in TV in 2017. Cannot wait, I remember watching TP when it was first broadcast in the UK and have been a fan ever since. The new Blu ray boxset was a treat but this is just a gift I never expected would happen. Lynch di…
  • The Deer Hunter is definitely worth a watch just for De Niro and Walken's Oscar winning performance.
  • I think it's one flawed film with an incredible performance from Oldman plus an amazing score. Everyone else bar Waits as Renfield is sub standard to utterly dreadful.

  • Just a thought but has it been revealed what Steven Moffat is doing after he finishes Doctor Who? Surely signing him and Gattis up to take on Bond would be like a dream team? Its been hinted that Sherlock is approaching an end game. This is what…
  • ROTS is far from an adult film, Lucas was clearly looking at kids with those prequels hence why they were all like over extended toy commercials lacking soul with an over abundance of green screen and CGI. This is what the majority of blockbuste…
  • Might definitely be a trip to the cinema for me, fan of the previous 3 (not the Renner one). I actually prefer Identity personally but the other 2 are great films. I've never actually seen the others on the big screen so this will be a first for…
  • Prince also wrote The Bangles Manic Monday and Chaka Khan's I Feel For You. He's unparalleled to be honest yes I have many artist I love but they usually they are good song writers, and musicians but there voice while I like isn't what you would …
  • It will be ever be one of my greatest regrets I never got to see him more recently as it appeared he'd become reinvigorated and put on a hell of a show. At least I did get to see him live earlier in his career, I can console myself with that. …
  • Purple Rain & Sign of the Times are probably my 2 favourites but D&P is a great album, love the big singles but Strolling is such a gorgeous jazzy number it's infectious. Only recently was listening to the Symbol album, rather underated, …
  • Terrible news, one of my favourite artists of all time, just still taking it in, I couldn't give a damn about the Queen's Birthday this is real news of the day. What with Bowie and now Prince this is just not a good year for musicians, Mr Reaper …
  • The grim reaper must be on overtime at the moment what with the magnificent Victoria Wood yesterday and now one of the true pop legends of all time. Prince Nelson Rogers is one of those artists that deserves the term genius, his prolific output, …

  • I'm not talking about the quality of the track used because the Clash's London Calling is a masterpiece but why oh why it's in DAD I don't know. I remember being in the cinema thinking I recognise that drum beat seriously no, what are they doing?…

  • Please no Crusie near neither of those directors, he's in enough thanks. Not everyone loves seeing this guy on film, if I don't see another TC film again it won't be too soon.
  • Star Wars The Force Awakens (2015 No it's not perfect and I'm not a fan of the sequence that wastes the cast of The Raid but the rest is hugely enjoyable and it's my 2nd watch, seems a long time since my cinema viewing, enough hairs on the back o…
  • I would put it below the original trilogy but way above the prequels. Yes Episodes 1,2 & 3 were more bold and original but it's about the execution and the film having a soul and not being totally reliant on SFX and having terrible acting an…

  • Skyfall's follow up needed to return to more a formula the problem is that SP wanted it's cake and to eat it as well. Mendes stuck all those homages in but couldn't help but push the personal angle again with Bond. Why not go for a personal angl…
  • I kind of feel that Coppola's Dracula could have been something very special if everyone had stepped up to the plate like Oldman. No of course not GF Pt 1 & 2, Conversation or Apocalypse Now levels of brilliance but this could have been so much…
  • Whiplash, such a cracking film, both Teller and Simmons are on electric form. Give me this over any of this comic book, franchise box office guff all the time.
  • http://occupydemocrats.com/2016/04/15/kasich-women-go-party-alcohol-fault-get-assaulted/ I hope none of you republicans here are suggesting this guy would be a good alternative to Cruz or Trump? Are all of them just pathetic excuses for human …
  • Seriously SPECTRE is not a masterpiece not nowhere near it, you can like it or in the case of some worship it but a masterpiece it certainly isn't. I don't think any Bond film is and that half baked hodge podge certainly is not.

  • SP was trial and error, with SF he delivered a great entry.
