  • Creasy47 wrote: » @Shardlake, it's funny that you mention a 'sequel' of sorts with Alejandro, because I do believe they actually have a sequel/prequel/spin-off of some kind planned for his character. @Creasy47 I thought I'd heard something …
  • I hope it will be good but that trailer was pretty meh!
  • Sicario 2015 In the course of an FBI SWAT raid of suspected kidnappers in Chandler, Arizona, naive but well intentioned agent Kate Macer (Emily Blunt), her partner Reggie Wayne (Daniel Kaluuya), and their team happen on a gruesome discovery, hidd…
  • In Bond yes I can't defend Rory for his efforts there but he has given some great performance in other films and TV series, Bond isn't actually stretching his acting abilities. Charisma isn't something I would attribute to him as he's more a char…
  • War and Peace was definitely a lavish and hugely ambitious work, it certainly dragged at times and I have to say it just kept reminding me of 1864 which I saw last year and that was considerably better. The cast was impressive and Paul Dano was s…
  • Creasy47 wrote: » @DaltonCraig007, I've seen 'Sicario' twice now but still haven't watched my blu-ray copy yet. Can't wait. @Shardlake, Deakins' work on it is, as usual, phenomenal. Pay attention to the score in the movie, too, it's incredibly …
  • With the exception of the PTS of SPECTRE nothing even comes to the parkour sequence in CR, still for me the outright best action sequence of Craig's era and up there near the top with the rest of the series.

  • I own an MP3 player but when I want to truly listen to music it has to be on my turntable. I do own a set of decks from my DJ days but these days it's my Rega Planar RP3 that I listen to my vinyl on. I personally don't think there is any substit…
  • To be a Bond fan and prefer those two wannabe's over the governor is unforgivable. I've said it before some people just don't have a clue when it comes to music and saying you have different tastes is not a get out of jail free card. Barry's g…

  • Creasy47 wrote: » @Shardlake, do let me know what you think of 'Sicario.' It's one of my favorites of 2015, got my blu-ray copy on the way in the mail, can't wait to see it again. @Creasy47 I will indeed let you know, I would have caught…
  • A I guess but I'm really not a fan of the direction SPECTRE went in. If they can play down that brother element and get on with just having Bond and Blofeld being mortal enemies instead of a childhood spat then fair play but Bond 25 is going to have…
  • I'm going to wait with this and wait till it drops in price, I'm not that fussed about seeing it yet, I really wasn't that impressed with it. Just blind bought Scicario and Macbeth, figure this is a much better use of my money. I usually buy Bon…
  • Skyfall is a great as it was the first time round, still no. 2 on my ranking and for me personally if only SPECTRE could have been that good.
  • This doesn't really come as a huge surprise and was looking likely due to the success of TFA in that spot so makes perfect sense. I can wait another 6 months or so and once Rogue One arrives it will only be another year to go, possibly we'll get …
  • Creasy47 wrote: » @Shardlake, I've no idea how 'Justified' ends, nor do I know of any spoilers, which is really nice. I've no clue what happens to Goggins; if he disappears after the first season or stays a main character, though I hope it's the l…

  • Already a music Icon this week now one of Britain's finest actor has been taken from us too soon. RIP Alan Rickman.

  • I've truly been upset by this death, David Bowie has been with me since I was very young I remember getting my first glimpse aged 8 on Top of The Pops witnessing the video to Ashes To Ashes, even at that age I was mesmerised if not a little scar…
  • I've got the Hateful Eight booked for Wednesday with my Wife, it will be the standard cinema version and I can't wait. My vinyl soundtrack for the film arrived a few days ago and I gave it a spin yesterday. I have to say I've been anticipating t…
  • So this the foster brother, I mean really rubbish! At least it doesn't take an iconic villain and link it to Bond's past in a real awful way which this era if it carries on is forever going to be linked to and no despite what you fans of the film s…
