  • I definitely agree @DaltonCraig007, and in this case I'm a huge fan of shark films in general also, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Looking for some Deep Blue Sea style thrills.
  • With that sort of budget hopefully they have been able to purchase some decent special effects. Cliff Curtis in this is certainly a positive. All previous Megalodon related films I've seen have been direct to video rubbish so the bar to surpass i…
  • Neither are with Sony anymore as far as I'm aware.
  • Good work. Hopefully it's a personal closeness rather than anything more. I'd rather not see Sony back, although I thought it would be them when P&W and later Craig were announced.

  • I dumped it after Season 4 I think and didn't finish it off.

  • Then I'm doubly excited to give it a viewing @DaltonCraig007. Will report back soon.
  • McMafia (2018) Just finished off this 8 part BBC/AMC serial on a Russian mafia family living in exile in London. It's not a bad show, with some excellent location work (Bombay, Istanbul, Prague, Tel Aviv & Moscow are among the highlights) and…
  • @LeonardPine I completely agree. Blanchett is tremendous in Blue Jasmine. I actually know someone quite close to me who was in a similar situation and she captures such a character's despair to perfection.
  • Indeed @DaltonCraig007. I would have lost that bet too. I was recently able to pick up a copy of Jumanji (don't ask how) and will give it a viewing tonight. I'm curious to see what the big deal was. It totally stole SW 8-TLJ's thunder over the holid…

  • Aidan who? ;) Seriously, I wouldn't have a problem with any of these guys. Just let's get on with it.

  • I certainly hope so @DaltonCraig007. I'm not ready to say goodbye to Cruise as Hunt just yet. He's still giving it his all and that's the key point. He's not phoning it in. I can live with less crazy stunts in the next one. They're great and all,…
  • Positive reviews for a Bond film in London? One which followed the most successful film in the UK (at the time)? A national treasure? You don't say. That doesn't really mean much. Bond films are always an event in England. Ever since I was little an…
  • This guy is a beast. He will be irreplaceable. I'm going to miss him when he finally hangs this gig up.

  • I wouldn't worry about his appearance either. That's the least of his problems. They can do wonders with people these days, whether it be in the gym or under the knife or with digital touch up. I just hope they do a better job of it than they did in…
  • The youngsters are definitely driving the box office these days. No doubt about that. Look at Black Panther. It's a phenomenon.
  • Announcement will come in May. I believe Craig will do some promotion for Kings at the end of April so presumably this is when we hear more information, assuming we don't get the big news on the MGM conference call prior to that.
