Mattjoes' Adventures with Pierce Brosnan Episode 23: Fast Charlie (2023) I had a lot of fun with this one. I think it's the first film of Brosnan that I watch since The Foreigner. Charlie is such a modest, unassuming movie, yet very well execu…

I really haven't seen Gavin in anything, but Brolin was pretty good in that Octopussy screentest. I look at his performance, and I feel I could spend a couple of hours with him on a globetrotting adventure.

RIP David Soul. Starsky & Hutch used to air here on TCM Latin America about a year ago. Now it's gone, unfortunately. Listening to Don't Give Up on Us right now.

Regarding the FYEO octave change in the riff, I forgot to say that, despite the fact John Barry never did that in his gunbarrels, that's such a John Barry thing to do. His scores are full of melodies that begin in an octave, then move up, or down. …

I love Batman and Robin. There hasn't been a Gotham City as visually stimulating, as sensuous, since this film. Even more than its predecessor, it's a film made in the spirit of childlike play. It pays the minimum of required attention to the more s…

I think it's funny how most of us rank this gunbarrel pretty high, but can't quite agree on how to describe it! :)) Maybe the Vegas setting of the film is clouding my judgment, but I do think this gunbarrel has a seedier sound to it than others. …
