  • With all due respect, too much is being made of the recent photos with his baby. He’s wearing very baggy clothing. Craig does not have a tapered physique; even lean he has a thick l, straight up and down torso. If you look at the torture scene in CR…

  • Well, as long as the team is not a gang running around in a van solving mysteries.
  • I thoroughly enjoyed Solo; considering the troubled history of this production, one wonders how good it could have been with a sure hand directing from the start . Ron Howard is a miracle worker; to come in and re-shoot 80% of a film, with the cloc…
  • His cuts in CR , QoS and SP are not army crew cuts. I think he has a more commanding presence with a shorter cut. His look in CR , in M’s flat is on point.

  • As far as burnout, perhaps disillusionment would be a more accurate description , a disillusionment with the seemingly duplicitous nature of government, MI-6 and, on a Freudian level, M. With her order to shoot, she abandoned Bond and showed no fait…

  • One bit that I would have liked to have seen in SF would for Bond, in the PTS, to have looked basically like he did in the first two films, fit and at the top of his game. Following his being shot, when we see him enjoying death in his self imposed…

  • Waltz could redeem himself, he was horribly misused; Seydoux, on the other hand was miscast and should not be brought back.
  • Congratulations to Drew Brees: Drew Brees breaks Brett Favre's NFL record for most career completion. Brees now stands alone in one category of NFL history. The New Orleans Saints quarterback set the record Sunday for most pass completions in a c…
  • While not the most popular theory I look at the span of 25 films as 3 Timelines based on the ages of the actors. Yes, some of the supporting actors cross timelines but Judi Dench showed that you could play the same character in different timelines; …

  • The conclusion of SP, as is, would have been much more effective, and satisfying, had the film that preceded it been stronger and the chemistry with his leading lady more substantial.

  • MR is a sumptuous film weighted down by several silly bits as well as the “Jaws in Love “ element. A snip here and a snip there would raise it in my rankings considerably.
  • This from the Deadline review of Maniac is both exciting and comforting. “There are more than a few moments in Netflix’s 10-episode Cary Joji Fukunaga-directed Maniac that are so aesthetically precise you might forget to breathe for a beat or two…

  • I think a teaser Bond trailer should be dropped during the holiday movie season.
