I like Kamen's score for Licence to Kill, but I would agree that the Bond theme is a bit overused (although not as much as it is in Tomorrow Never Dies). I also think that Kamen should have gone about using the theme differently. It's a bit too li…

SF is really the only DC film that is all that different from the majority of its predecessors. Both CR and QOS rely on the same formula that was the foundation of the Brosnan films. Really, with only a few tweaks to the dialogue, CR could have be…

I don't think the formula (as much as I despise the checklist approach that EON has often taken) is what made Spectre "underperform" with audiences. I think it just boils down to it not being a particularly good movie.

Yes, because the studios are going to give up on a franchise that has made over $2 billion over its last two films. The franchise may be irreparably harmed by the lengthening gaps between films (or not), it may end up being watered down to a poin…

The fact of the matter is that Hinx is a disappointing henchman. Most of his acclaim is, I'm afraid, derived from how much he was talked up by Bautista and Mendes in the press, but much of that does not come through on screen. He's boring, and is …

I especially like how he even manages to tie the Martian invasion of Earth back to Bond's childhood. Sounds like something Mendes and Logan would come up with. In all seriousness, I've seen these posted before. He had been trolling CBn with "Th…

Concussion I get the desire to make a film that educates the public about the NFL and their often deplorable actions behind closed doors, but you've got to do better than this for people to pay attention. Even a straight-up documentary on the su…

The article I read about it made it sound as though each film would be $50 for a 48-hour viewing window. In theory, I think it's a good idea, but at a $50 price tag per film, plus the $150 for the required set-top box, I'm not sure it would incre…

Not that I go to the movies anymore, and thankfully there aren't any AMC theaters near me that I know of, but what a stupid decision. Actually, I take that back. It might not be a stupid decision, as this could hasten the demise of cinema's excl…

True, Bond can be a few years younger than Craig, but they've already established his Bond as being born in 1968 in West Berlin, according to the "dossier" they released as promotional material for Casino Royale.

I'd be OK if it was the end, but I think that they have some of the pieces in place to make one last Terminator film that, while probably not living up to the greatness of the first two films, could at least be a worthy follow up and do something or…

It's just the usual tabloid nonsense. Nothing much to see here. If anything, it's probably a sign that Hiddleston won't be Bond.
