Thirty years. Wow. Feels like only yesterday my brother rented it on VHS and my ma let me watch it. Loved every second of it. Still do. Love my ma for letting me watch it, ultimately getting me hooked on the series. Such great memories watchin…

None of the Craig movies get close to Licence To Kill. Some decent films but the reset treads LTK's hallowed ground and doesn't get close. On reflection, none of the Craig-era gets into the top five. Can't see what amazon can really do with B…

Beat Craig era villain was probably Mr White. Best performance was Bardem, but his character was terrible. Waltz is stymied in the role. Not at all well written. They're going for Landmark Actor a la Javier but it crashes. Telly Savalas was my…
