Good reviews @haserot. I think you look relaxed in front of the camera with just about the right level of enthusiasm. I also know what you mean about the new Halloween. It didn't blow me away and I was expecting more. Being a huge fan of Carpenter m…

I just got around to finally watching Marshland (2014) original title: La isla mínima. It's a Spanish movie that drew a lot of comparisons with Fukunaga's True Detective when it was first released, though unfairly as Marshland was in production befo…

Thanks @Escalus5 and @SaintMark for your additional information. I never realised that the "eight-note" theme tune also appeared in the old movies. I still have a personal preference for the expanded version by composer Edwin Astley. You just can't …

Agreed. I think Rogue One is the best out of the Disney bunch. It also stars Diego Luna, who is great in the new Narcos: Mexico series.

Ah, you see, I refuse to watch that, as I don't believe there's that much wrong with CR. But I get your point @DarthDimi. But I mostly go to Youtube for the insightful videos, such as "CinemaTyler". That guy knows his onions.

Being a huge, huge fan of Three Days of the Condor (1975) I watched the first episode of Condor and it didn't instantly grab me. Didn't feel invested enough to go any further as it didn't feel remotely anything like the movie. From little I saw of i…

That was indeed a rant @DarthDimi. I'm personally OK with these Youtube videos myself, if done well, as I am with the existence of forums such as these. Sure, the segment about the poorly executed fight choreography does distract from the far better…

To be honest @Fire_and_Ice_Returns, I haven't watched too many critiques of the movie myself. If a movie doesn't work for me, I tend to avoid reading anything about it afterwards. It's just I stumbled upon the video when I watching the excellent "Ci…

This video perfectly sums up my views of The Last Jedi. Take the time to watch it first before commenting on it.

Just finished watching Season 4 of Narcos. My god, what a show! Absolutely bloody superb! Nothing presently touches this in terms of continued excellent writing and acting on TV. To think that we're at the end of Season 4 and it's just as good as it…

Thanks @peter and @ColonelSun for your continued thoughts on the progress of the production while we wait for further news. I know I'm going to get rained upon, but I believe that only you two guys should be allowed to post comments here on the prod…

I think because of his recent connections to the role of 007, @Torgeirtrap, I believe it would be a bad and a costly mistake for Elba to appear in a future Bond production in any way, shape or form, especially after this. It would create negativity …

Well, I for one think it's about time that 46-year-old Idris Elba be considered for the role of Simon Templar. After all, the guy's name is continually thrust down our throats over his role as 007. Why not The Saint?
-
The only reason 46-year-old Elba's name keeps cropping up is because 46-year-old Elba is very astute at keeping his name still attached to the role. He was well aware that by posting a Bond reference on Instagram (or whatever) at the launch of his d…

I'm actually in agreement with you @octofinger. I think Hiddleston would make a much better Simon Templar than he would James Bond. Roger Moore's TV series abandoned the disguise element of the character and worked on a completely different level. T…

Don't take offence @Tuulia. If you can't accept that men and women have an entirely different perspective on what they like to see in an male actor or movies, then you're purblind to the obvious. Surely you're aware that Brosnan appealed more to the…

It's still early talks, and there's nothing to say Chris Pratt will agree to do it. Personally, I think Pratt would be a better fit for Indiana Jones, but as Harrison Ford appears to be blocking all attempts at anyone taking over his role whilst he'…

Latest rumour is Paramount Pictures is dancing with Chris Pratt to star in a relaunch of its action franchise The Saint. Sources cautioned this is early days, but that the hope is to build the film around the Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic Wor…

I'm sure Gwilym Lee is a very talented actor and I thought he did a pretty reasonable job as guitarist Brian May, but age appropriation and being an actor alone isn't a good enough reason to qualify one for the role of 007. Sure, Lazenby's name was …

Having listened to Dan Romer. there's nothing that stands out as sounding Bond. Clint Mansell, on the other hand, might be the best suggestion yet. Just checking out his bigger scores, such Sahara, it does sound pretty good in a David Arnold kind…

Yes, @CraigMooreOHMSS. The earliest cut of Outlaw King, ran four hours. But the version that garnered the poor rating on RT was the 137-minute runtime version. Even McKenzie says: “I’m sure if I had the appetite, I could do a three-part mini-series…
