I see that Insidious 2 is going to be released on August 2013. Principal photography on the second Insidious installment is scheduled to begin on January 15th next year, in order to make an August 30th 2013 release date. There will also be returning…

Planet of the Apes (1968) - Jerry Goldsmith El Cid (1961) - Miklos Rozsa Bullitt (1968) - Lalo Schifrin Where Eagles Dare (1968) - Ron Goodwin For a Few Dollars More (1962) - Ennio Morricone Charade (1963) - Henry Mancini The Lion In Winter (1…

The only way I can answer that @oo7 is to say that it was all part of an elaborate smuggling ring to throw any investigation off its trail by eliminating the last remaining link. So from the diamond mines of South Africa the gems were smuggled out b…

Hollywood doesn't make that many R-rated movies anymore because it doesn't appeal to the younger teen market. Even some horror films are being downgraded to PG13 to capture the younger crowd. I think Bond has always been smartly pitched just at the …

Don't you mean Mr Kidd and not Kit which was the car in Knight Rider?

I haven't commented one this thread before as I haven't quite made up my mind where this movie finally sits amongst the pack, though I currently have it hovering at No 10 in a recent ranking. I've only seen it the once so need to see it a couple mor…

Actually, Gustav, I think you have your wires crossed. I never said that OHMSS was sombre nor ever implied that it was. It is Skyfall that I believe is the one that is too sombre to take advantage of the Christmas feelgood factor that has seen previ…

Thanks for those @Samuel001. I think apart from Japan and the other two countries I mentioned in my previous post I don't see this catching the older epics now. I also feel that most of China would have probably seen it by the time of the release da…

I have to say I don't think SF will be challenging the top 4 Bond pics of all time, even though it's yet to open in Oz or China.

Estimates are in for the opening day of Breaking Dawn Part 2 and, as expected, it’s a monster. Summit Entertainment is reporting that, from 4,070 locations, the final chapter in The Twilight Saga took in a reported $71.2 million. 1. Breaki…

I've tried to think of the many American's that have played British parts and I've got quite a few so far. The Saint starring Val Kilmer. Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock Holmes. And didn't Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson play Mary and Anne Boley…

First Act including the PTS right up to Silva's Island is my favourite portion of the movie. The rest goes in troughs and peaks until the brilliant closing scene before the GB.

It wasn't directed at you, @JimThompson45, hence the reason why it was in a separate paragraph. Of course, what you say about Bardem's performance is an echo of mine with "naunced" (see above) and on that we agree. I'm not so sure that I can agre…

Really, @JimThompson45? I know Javier Bardem is an excellent actor and has an Oscar for his No Country For Old Men villainous role, but I fail to see quite why Silva is considered a far better antagonist than either Le Chiffre, Mr White or even Fran…

Michael G. Wilson in reference to the Bond character: "He’s like Batman or Superman, these characters that are perennials." If Eon can make it work with Le Chiffre (still the best villain of the modern era) then they can make it work with Blofeld.

Murdock wrote: Max Von Sydow's Blofeld was hardly threatening. He just spouted exposition of Largo's plan. Blofeld wasn't even threatening at all except for Telly Savalas' version. Why do you want Blofeld back anyway? What is wrong with bringing i…

I've only seen the film once but I don't recall it ever being discussed that they were NATO agents. As far as I know NATO is more of an agreed response treaty through military action for member countries rather than a united intelligence gathering s…

Yes, the original Psycho is a classic and was one of my first horror film experiences alongside Frankenstein, The Mummy and The Shuttered Room. I just love Bernard Herrmann's score for Psycho and I think the B&W photography gives it an unnerving…

As a old skool horror fan I'm new to this thread but couldn't resist mentioning the new Hammer movie in production called The Quiet Ones. Starring Jared Harris, it is inspired by true events, and tells the story of an unorthodox, but charismatic Pro…
