It seems to be popular consensus, and it has been from day one. I don't know if the producers made that claim, or just allowed certainly critical sources to make that case for them. Then again, you can't really take comments from ANY of the maker…

There's a consideration here about the formula issue. A StarTRek writer analyzed the original series a long ways back, and noted that it was just like many other TV series, it fell into the trap of its format settling down and congealing into formul…

Don't get me wrong, I like it too, have seen it five times now, which makes it the only Tom Cruise movie besides M:I 1 that I've seen more than once (I don't count TAPS as a Cruise movie, he isn't in it enough to hurt it and in my mind is playing hi…

He's probably a droid racist, they all look alike to him. With all the huge nits to pick in the Lucas-written ones, that's actually pretty minor.

There's a STARLOG cover shot of Dalton that has a dynamic pose while filming gunbarrel that looks more 'balanced' than the reject one and tons better than the actual one. Could have just been posed too, there is no smoke in it, but I always think of…

ACTION JACKSON, at the top of my list, standing apart from all the rest (though it is hard to see it, because there is so much smoke -- the film really suffers from the post-ET post-FLASHDANCE look.) COMMANDO is on there, too, just saw it on blu-ray.

There are a few patches in SPY that I'd keep, but basically I consider it a schizophrenic Matt Helm movie that forgets itself when Moore pumps four bullets into Stromberg. It's like getting the CR torture chair scene in MayDayDiVicenzo wrote: » L…

LIke a lot of Broz' stuff in other roles where he is well-directed, but in Bond I think he always blew the 'Bond James Bond' line reading, way too mild in GE and TND, and then of course the 'comic book' reading in TWINE. Of course I also HATE, th…

For some reason this last video made me think somebody should crank out PROPERTY OF A BRADY with Florence Henderson as a supervillainness who has a tendency to lecture pedantically to younger male agents. Fit right in with that Craig with older wom…

It's all about Young for me. You can give Hamilton some points for packaging the thing in a nicer bow and his angle for how Q should be played, but that's about it. If Hamilton had done the first one as I guess it was once intended, I don't think it…

I always go back to that guy who used to own the batho-sub's article in BONDAGE, where he was told (by Hamilton?) that Bond was going to make a large point of Tracy's death in dialog with Blofeld in the film, and when he saw the penthouse scene he w…

Does that mean you have to take DAF out of the rotation completely?
