  • When I saw Reservoir Dogs at the London film festival in 93' I knew this guy was something special. It was the best film I'd seen in years. I got his autograph as he hung around in Leicester Square after the screening. All I could manage when I spok…

  • Not sure if it could be considered a bad movie but it definitely has some dodgy moments. Michael Mann's Blackhat I rather like, even though critically it was slated. But watching it recently I realised it has the same villains plot as Goldfinger.…
  • A View To A Kill Catching up with some of the Bond's in the lower regions of my Bond list. I do enjoy this whenever it gets a rare viewing. Moore is too long in the tooth but he's still good value in this, and his chemistry with Macnee is spot on…
  • BAIN123 wrote: » Moonraker is my favourite book. All the ingredients there and yet it never leaves England. The final few paragraphs are Fleming at his very best. Mine too. It's a great but simple plot, with one of Fleming's best ever vi…
  • 70 years later and the character is still playing a huge part in our lives. What an incredible legacy Ian Fleming created. I always keep the novels close to hand because no matter how many times I read them, they still take me by surprise with their…
