  • I don’t know what it is about Travolta (who was very good in Blow Out); I think he’s intuitively a very talented actor, but I think he’s one of the laziest. It’s like he hits the top of the food chain back in the 70s and early 80s then kind of ha…

  • I agree @DarthDimi , and I hope so @Denbigh … But something’s rubbed me the wrong way since Gunn took over. I don’t know what it is. He has said the right things and the two Batmen can co-exit, but I just haven’t bought what he’s selling. I ge…

  • Poor Things.... Absolutely off the wall, beautifully shot, imaginative art direction with a wicked and dark sense of humour... Loved every moment...

  • I usually find that Clooney, frustratingly, always looks better, way better, than the performances he delivers… I mean he has classic Hollywood looks, but I find he doesn’t have the tools to deliver on these looks. However, in Out of Sight, I th…

  • Watching from the side lines, this is pretty fun to tune into at the moment... Some passionate believers in their actors, all duking it out!!
  • I enjoyed reading this. Fair and thoughtful, with care in describing your perspectives on each. I look forward to your next five, @007ClassicBondFan !
