The song has quickly become one of my favorite Bond tunes and while I'll need to wait for the Blu-ray (or head back to the cinema a couple time) before I can really judge it, I was trilled to see a return to.....umm.... "traditional" Bond titles sen…

Bare none, Ronin has the best two car chases ever conceived. Why? Sure they are exciting, dynamic, quite original, with some of the best use of modern multi-channel audio out there. There is no CG, no physics defying ludicrous jumps, everything i…

Unlike the ski sequence thread we recently started, this one is really very difficult, in part due to the shear number, but moreover because all these sequences have vastly different agendas. Some were just shear comedy, others thrill sequences, s…

1. On Her Majesty's Secret Service for the win. Willy Bogner and that killer, and I mean KILLER John Barry tune! n'uff said. 2. The Spy Who Loved me. Quintessential Bond, marred only by Hamlishe's obsession with The Bee Gees (nothing against the…

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if they didn't streamline the menus/interactive portions of the latter titles in the new edition, then the whole thing is the exact same pressing as the 50th set from a couple years ago....which means …

Thanks for chiming in guys. I've already sent a stern letter to the chain's head office detailing this, and several over deficiency in the facility on that day. Sadly, its seems that movie screening showmanship is indeed a lost art.

Personally, I think there is a veritable goldmine still left to be had in the Flemming novels. While I do like the Craig tenure, to me the past 20 year effort to make Bond "modern" and "relevant" is the wrong direction. If Hollywood can still ma…

On the whole, for me it was something of a miss. When he first entered the meeting, we were shown the fear and tension of everyone else in the room. That was perfect. But then later in the film he somehow looses that gravity and is just another …

As a hard core "classic bond" fan, little should be read into SPECTRE not falling into my top 10. That is permanently occupied by the initial six films and a handfull of Moores. That said, SPECTRE is for me on par with Casino as his two best, Quan…

Truth be told I had put myself on a Bond-blackout leading up to it. I did see the trailers of course, but honestly I didn't feel they gave me much of anything to go on anyway. (Spoiler)

I think I noticed most of what has already been mentioned. The "big" ones for me were: -Street carnival: Thunderball. -Helicopter fight: For Your Eyes Only -SPECTRE meeting: Thunderball -Alpine clinic: You KNOW that was Piz Gloia man! :) (even …

Well, one key point is you are not feeding the Sony anything other than 1080p (it simply cannot accept any signal higher than that) so when you play, say, a 4k YouTube clip, your PC is in fact downsampling it to 1080 line. So when you switch betwee…

IMO Lowery did such a good job on the early ones they look like they came off of prints struck yesterday. To clarify though, all the BDs, from Dr.No to Skyfall, are of course the same 1080 line resolution. The limitation is that Skyfall can neve…

4K is fine, more pixels dont hurt, but despite the hype its not the next big thing. HDR, or High Dynamic Range, will be. Here's an article my colleges recently wrote.
