Just back from ST Beyond. I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed i am with this movie. Awful, just awful. Action porn is a great description i think. It just rushes headlong from one action scene to the next and that action is so frenetically e…

TND. Supercool walk from Brosnan coupledd with David Arnold's first(and best) rendition of the Bond theme. Effortlessly cool

Once upon a time in the west is often cited by critics as Leone's masterpiece, but for me the Dollars trilogy beats Sorry only half a post there. The Dollars trilogy beats Once upon a time hands down for me. Best of the three...For a few dollars …

Cubby ( and Harry way back when) had a very clear vision of what Bond was and what the movies should be. Thats why they could just effortlessly move on to the next one. I think EON at the moment just dont have that clear a vision. Three years is a l…

The Fugitive is indeed a fine, thrilling movie. The bus crash is beautifully shot and edited and all done without the dreaded CGI. Its not the popular thing to say but actually i prefer the follow up movie US Marshalls. Its really more about Tommy L…

You make my point for me really OBrady. Its not about whether the new GB is any good or not, its about people pre-judging something they havent even seen.
-
Nearly two pages of almost totally negative critisism for a film no-one has even seen yet. Its like craignotbond.com all over again. I for one will at least give the new Ghostbusters an even chance
-
" That relationship didnt work out. In my line of work they never do" One simple line, spoken early on in the movie, bye bye to the Swann character. Move on with the rest of Bond 25. Job done
-
When i've got the blues and feeling down the first score i reach for is Martins LALD. Sure its very much of its time but what great tracks there are. Whisper Who Dares, Bond meets Solitare , Trespassers Will Be Eaten. The list goes on. It's about ti…

The only country where SP underperformed was the US. For any major blockbuster to take less than $200m has got to seen as such. Now the question is why? Well i think its because of the general age of US film goers who are tending to get younger and …

Never mind 2 years older than Crowe, the fact Cruise looks that good when he's the same age as me really pisses me off. Sometimes life's just not fair!

If Bond 25 features a new Bond actor then so be it, but i think they would be mad to lose the MI6 team. Harris is a fine modern Moneypenny, Fiennes is great as M and Wishaw developed into a briĺliant Q in SP. Keep them all in place
-
Agreed bondjames. MI:GP was one of the most enjoyable movies of recent times and although it followed the MI template closely it never seemed like it was pastiching it. It would take a really good director to pull it off. Perhaps Babs and Michael sh…

I'm all for a return to classic Bond formula i am done with dark and gritty for now. That's why i enjoyed SP so much, it had some of the fun back in it. Yet some people think that was a terrible thing. The fun, the humour, exotic loctations, beautif…

How can people say Nolan can't direct action. Isn't the opening plane hijack in TDKR just a Bond pre- credit scene in all but name. Or the bank heist from TDK. Well shot, well edited and most importantly done for real not with CGI. Nolan is also a s…

Just back from a screening of Shane Black's new movie The Nice Guys. What a great comic thriller. Similar in tone to Black's earlier film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang but probably funnier, with a wonderfully comic turn from Ryan Gosling. Russell Crowe is the…

I'm sorry but isn't this just another ridiculious non story. Do i really trust a story in the Metro that's supposedly come from a bookies. Not at all
-
Surely its better to have a director on board from the word go. That way the film can be shaped by the director , with the rest of the team of course, to play to his or her's strengths. It would aslo stop things like a director coming in later in th…

I think because The Peacemaker was the first movie from Deamworks people were expecting some great world changing movie, which of course it wasnt, so some people were naturally somewhat disappointed. It doesnt alter the fact that its a very proficie…

Good call Satorious with the name Mimi Leder. The Peacemaker is one of the best action thrillers i've seen in years. Beautifully paced, good characterization, believable action scenes, in fact everything a good Bond film should have.
-
Craig has been a superb Bond no question but I don't think he is irreplaceable, but as yet I haven't seen anyone who is entirely right for the role. When he is eventually replaced I will do what I always do and give them a chance to prove they can …

I don't think saying you think an actor lacks charisma is being particularly rude, its just the point of view of whoever is posting. Turner just doesn't do it for me certainly not for Bond, but then post Night Manager neither does Hiddleston.
-
In answer to the question asked, yes I have seen Turner in And then there were none and also in Poldark and so my impression of him is based on actually watching him perform, not just looking at a photo of him that was posted a couple of pages ago. …
-
Don't get it at all. You can't just show a still picture of someone(Aiden Turner) in a tux and say what I great Bond he would be. Yes he may look OK in a picture but the guys got to have charm, charisma and be believable as a lover and a killer. I …
-
I agree that a new creative team is needed. Unfortunately I think it should start at the very top. I have said before and I'll say it again, i don't think Barbara Brocolli has a clue how to make a great Bond movie. The only great Bond film in the la…
-
I find the whole 68 million thing very unlikely. MGM do not as yet seem to have a new distribution deal in place and I don't think they on their own would have the finances to be offering that much money. If Craig goes I will be sad because he's bee…
-
I loved Ben Miller in the first two series of Death in Paradise and thought he would be irreplaceable and to be fair it does take a while to get used to Kris Marshall, but once you do he's great and brings a different feel to the show. Its nothing m…

Watching Nighthawks recently on TV. Solid film ruined by possibly one of the worst scores ever written for film. Shame on you Keith Emerson. Right up there with Legrand's score for NSNA.
-
How about the granddaddy of all time supposedly great movies,Citizen Kane. Boring, arty,pretentious, pseudo intellectual. Quite why Welles is regarded in such high esteem is beyond me. Others that I've never been able to see why they are so belove…

No.4 has grown on me over the years, I didn't like it that much at the time. But something that all the movies up to Nemisis had was good characterization and they took their time to build these good characters. That's something that is sorely lacki…
