Finished Ray Donovan which was superb! Loved every second. Now on to Ozark.

I really like both LALD and TMWTGG. They are my 2 favourite Moore films. Firstly the period they are set in. I love the early 70's feel, particularly the style, locations, hotel rooms, etc. These 2 films belong with DAF as a Guy Hamilton triology…

I find YOLT fairly similar to DAF. Both feature an ageing Connery who appears to be playing Bond in a very different manner to the first 4 films, and both surprisingly enjoyable in parts, despite many flaws (special effects and screen backdrops are …
