  • Jade (1995) Directed by William Friedkin & based on a script by Joe Eszterhas, this is a sort of low rent Basic Instinct. Despite sharing many similarities with that seminal 90s erotic thriller, this is still an entertaining film. David Carus…
  • Given Craig will be exiting after this film (I honestly can't see him credibly continuing unless they want to do a story about a senior citizen in semi-retirement), I think he'll want some acting 'beef' in the script. I can't see him wanting to d…

  • Well, the rumours are that 'Logan' was the inspiration for Craig's return, so I wouldn't be surprised if age does come into it. Frankly it will be very difficult to hide it at the rate things seem to be going. I think EON will live in SF's shadow…
  • An interesting theory from Mark Millar on why Marvel is succeeding while DC is, for the most part, flailing and failing. I'm not sure I entirely agree, but there may be something to it. https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2316352/why-marvel-movies-w…

  • I agree on your point about Feige, but he's probably a one-off. It's difficult to find someone with his vision and skills in this department. He really believes in the characters and understands them implicitly. That's precisely why he's been able t…

  • It's doing extraordinary well and I'm glad. It's a nice setup for Infinity War in a few months and perhaps will finally take the heat off the black Bond nonsense that has been doing the rounds for the past few years. This film has shown that it's po…
