  • Thanks for saving me some $ @StirredNotShaken . Was thinking about renting it.
  • Thank you guys. Both of you made good points. I like to discuss, critique, and analyze films. That is going to invite different views because I want a wholistic experience. God forbid, it might actually broaden my scope of understanding. What really…

  • I’m not a Brosnan fan, so that hurts it right out of the gate. Specifically, the pacing of this movie makes it feel like its 4 hours long. It has been a long time since I’ve watched it. Saw it at the the theatre, then at home of course.

  • I think we are all on that page. Especially after a top 5, it gets tougher imo. 10-15, that’s probably my toughest to rate objectively. One of these days I’m going to sit down (when I have a lot of free time) and basically binge them, then rate them…

  • Hmmm, tough. Casino Royale -flawless. I have never watched this movie ‘in progress.’ I always watch from start to finish. Quantum: Love this movie. Again, watch it start to finish. No cringe moments at all. It kicks ***. LTK: James Bond, and he’s…

  • Does anyone else think Gul Dukat is the most fleshed out Trek villain? Always loved his performances in DS9-wish he had been featured more. I don’t think the should would have had the same level of critical success without him.
