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…
-
I realise I am going against the grain but I love Star Trek 5. Yes it has its problems, some of which are Shatners fault( the lumpen comedy) , some of which are not. The constricted budget didn't allow Shatner to use ILM so the effects are lousy and…

Just finished watching my latest purchase the Masters of Cinema blu- ray release of The Quiet Man. A Ford/Wayne classic movie. What a stunning restoration of this movie. For so many years now this movie has been shown on TV in some poor quality vide…

There have been times when I have thought oops that didn't really work terribly well, the overt humour of MR, the Leathal Weapon stylings of LTK but I never thought of them as a nadir just a bad mis-step along the way. But watching Bond kite surfing…

Endless scenes of people tapping on a computer screen solving all the heroes problems with one key stroke. One of THE most annoying tropes of modern movies. How did heroes survive out in the field before the computer nerd
-
Yes it cannot be denied that the cinema will always win out on screen size and I will always choose the picture house for certain films. But I have gone from a once a week visit to a once in a blue moon visit. Bond, Star Wars and Hateful Eight have …
-
I have been a cinema lover for 40 odd years, but I now believe if I could afford a good large screen TV( 55in at least ) and a quality surround system I would not go to the cinema again. Just think, no talkers, no popcorn munchers, no flashing mobil…

People seem to automatically think that the series will carry on with the next generation of family. Maybe the family won't want to carry it on and could decide to sell Bond to the highest bidder. Or BB could lose interest in producing Bond and just…

My favorite? In MR having just jumped off the cable car and sitting on the grass looking the worse for wear. GOODHEAD "anything broken" BOND "only my tailors heart" . Classic Roger Moore.

Diamonds Are Forever gets a lot of hate on various threads on this site but it holds a very special place in my heart. It was my introduction to Bond and the first film I ever saw in a cinema. It made me a lifelong Bond fan, a lifelong Connery fan a…

How about something a little left field. I thought Suzanne Bier did a fantastic job of directing Night Manager. Cool style, great clean clear visuals and very classy. Just what Bond needs. And a female could give an interesting perspective on the fr…

I've always been a great fan of The Walking Dead but this last half of season six has made me feel really uncomfortable. It seems to becoming less a series about killing zombies and more a series about killing rival groups of humans. Its leaving qui…

I was all for Hiddleston until I viewed Night Manager now I think sadly no way. Charm, charisma certainly, but in the fight scenes I'm afraid he looked about as threatening as Will Ferrell in Elf. Sure he can bulk up a bit but its not about that its…

If Spielberg and Ford can make up for the abomination that was Crystal Skull then I'm all for it. And without Lucas's involvment I hope that's what they can do. It was a real thrill to see Ford back in action in Star Wars Vlll and I see no reason wh…
