Hmm... Aquaman looks like another case of film-making by committee over at DC. I hope I'm wrong . . . they badly need someone to help WonderWoman shoulder the load. I'm also not feeling optimistic about Alita: it's got some big names on the marq…

I quite liked it, and thought he nailed Fleming's voice well. I had a few minor quibbles, I suppose: -I didn't like the stream of consciousness during his heroin high. It felt un-Bondian, to me; I cringed a bit. -The book flew by rather quickl…

I finished reading FAAD just yesterday, and enjoyed it a lot. A good cracking read, and very quick. I might start another spoiler-safe review thread to discuss it, but overall for me the book did exactly what is says on the tin.

Ah, Goldeneye. I suspect that all of us have a soft spot for the Bond movies that broke when we were young ones. In my case that also meant that I spent many hours playing the Nintendo64 game with friends, and it's hard to overstate just how massi…

Bring back Conti, I say. The young people love the disco music these days. There's your billion at the box office!

I was just a sapling at the time, but it's tough to overstate what a phenomenon Batman was in North America that summer. The marketing was insane - those black and yellow t-shirts were everywhere. Rides at theme parks. Meals at McDonald's. Hell, …

True enough. It's a shame, though - the Bourne films managed to sneak in a few little moments of this. Just tiny bits that show how Bourne clones a SIM card, or sets up reconnaissance, or whatever. Would love to see a bit more tradecraft back in …

Presumably they'll be hashing out the details of Whoopi Goldberg's character now - I have to imagine that will be the next piece of info we'll get.

-The theme song doesn't work. This movie needs something more intense. And the song over the closing credits is disastrous. The score doesn't work for me, in places. -Talisa Soto falls awfully flat. In her defense, the way the character's writ…

Hey guys, have you heard they're considering Whoopi Goldberg for B25?

Well I'm pleasantly surprised by that, too. It seems like The Guardian increasingly opts to write reviews that have little to do with the movie/film in question and more to do with litigating some other tangentially-related social or political issue…

I'm a fan of Dalton, and of TLD. Saying that: -Kara grates on my nerves, fairly quickly. She just constantly seems so stupid, and James is frequently frustrated by her. For instance, during the climax in the cargo plane, he has to do charades …
