  • Urban wouldn't be a problem with me, his Bones McCoy is one of the highlights of the new Star Trek films, plenty of charisma. Master_Dahark does raise a good point about the Clark Kent/Superman, Ford was adept getting over that awkward professor …
  • Maybe too tall and bit gangly for the role but what about Timothy Olyphant? His Raylen Givens in the terrific recently ended Justified showed a side that his previous output never did. I don't know I could see him under that fedora, he's got t…

  • Bond should always open first in Britain, I'm sorry but I don't really care if it gets spoiled The cat will be out the bag before then when the press get to see it like SF, that didn't take long for practically everything to get leaked. Sorry …
  • @Murdock To be honest I like the first 2 Bat film, I found the third bloated and overlong. I also like Inception very much. As for Nolan I'm much more of a fan of his smaller films, Memento for me is still one of the most audacious and original …
  • While I'm not exactly that bother if CN does a Bond film (I am a fan have been up to Inception). The fact that some of you know exactly what kind of film he will deliver, he is a fan that much is clear from his films but I don't think you can ass…
  • I'm sorry I don't see a big name getting the job, for the most part you don't get a star to play Bond, you cast someone and they become a star playing Bond. This seems to have worked pretty well for EON in the past so why change that now? What…
  • Well I'm not sure I'm a Terminator fan, I think the 1st is Cameron's masterpiece, 2nd a great popcorn flick and the rest I never want to see again. So I'll count myself in the crowd that will hate it, the trailer makes it look embarrassing and al…
  • I seriously hope's it's 23rd as I've booked the day off and on the Sunday we are off to northern Italy on holiday for a week. I've promised my Dad I'll take him to see it for his birthday ( a tradition seen everyone since SWLM together) in Novemb…
  • I championed Fassbender after Inglourious, my Wife has been a fan since seeing him in 300. He's a superb actor one of the best on the planet at the moment and would make a terrific Bond but Fassy is just too big now. He's launching his own franc…
  • Could is the operative word, and that could was decades ago, the guy can't even sing properly anymore and gets more like a caricature every day. Love the 70's output his peak but after that forget it.
  • Greatest Summer Blockbuster ever and for me despite all his acclaim and awards I just don't think Spielberg's ever topped it. Every department is A1 and the fact the rubber shark was uncooperative plays to it's strengths, masterpiece! My Wife an…

  • Just watched The Guest and it's not great although something about it I enjoyed, the Carpenter like atmosphere, the obvious nods to Halloween and of course Terminator but Dan Stevens played a blinder, to think he was the same guy in Downton Abbey. …
  • I'd have no problem with Hozier, Take Me To Church is a cracking song, I could see him really rising to the occasion far more than Sam Smith.
  • Justified Just finished season 6 last night as one of those in the UK who have done their best to seek this out, was buried in the TV schedules and then cancelled by said channel. I downloaded the last few and was most grateful that Sky Atlantic…
  • I like Lewis as an actor, he was very good in Wolf Hall but as Bond? Nah! He just is too well known, no he's not an A lister but Homeland was pretty high profile and I just don't see it. Like I don't see most of the options the bookies are saying…

  • Bloody typical my local cinema do the double bills I'm not interested but the one I am OHMSS is only in selected Vue Cinema's 4 or 5 and they all mostly down south, Leeds Vue obviously would rather 2 sub standard Brosnan efforts than the gold standa…
  • I can imagine what people will say and the original with Albert Finney as Poirot is a regular fixture in our household. I didn't mind the Suchet version despite him being the definitive Hercule I'll always prefer Sidney Lumet's 1974 version, what…
  • If only OHMSS was in there I'd be going, seen both the Dalton's when they were released The only one I'd really be interested in seeing on the big screen although I did see it in a double bill with DAF when I was around 6 or 7.

  • Final 2 episodes of 1864 truly amazing episode 7 contained a battle to rival anything in Saving Private Ryan, visceral, terrifying and moving. Closing on an emotional final episode 8 that didn't descend into sentimentality. I hear Harvey Weinstein …
  • They do have a tendency to pick artists when they are passed their peak, Adele is actually an example of striking at the right as far as exposure. White is constantly relevant but Cornell was truly passed his best but still produced a great theme. …
  • Hannibal A cracking start to Season 3 and Mads & Gillian on top form. A sumptuous visual feast, my favourite show on TV back on, well pleased.
  • I've got no problem with the way Dalton conducted himself he's very gracious about his time in Bond and did say not all Dalton fans think this way, it's just some clearly feel Craig got what Dalton should have. I was big advocate of Dalton during…
  • I find Dalton fans have just got sour grapes whether they admit it or not, their favourite wasn't afforded the chance that Craig got. I'm not saying all but Major continually criticises the Craig era, if Dalton would have had the same story lines…

  • I'm sorry but DAF, LALD, & Nobody Does It Better are more classic timeless songs than YKMN. Don't get me wrong it's a great song and Arnold's best theme collaboration and yes it did get a lot of slaggings off when it came out but it has reall…
