  • Just finished M:I Ghost Protocol. Regardless of some of the nonsense, it was incredibly entertaining. The team work was very good, the characters were solid. And a very nice resolution to Hunt's 'loss' concerning his Wife. My personal love for M:I 2…

  • Murdock wrote: » Dead Reckoning is the best Pierce Bond movie he wasn't even in. ;) LOL, and Tomorrow Never Dies is a great companion movie- the popular megalomaniac & the unchecked AI. Ignore the warnings though- these are just movies.
  • Reflsin2bourbons wrote: » The MacGuffin, the Entity, is also probably the best of the series. It's not as basic as nuclear weapons or a NOC list, and fully fledged threat (unlike the Rabbit's Foot). Even though it's a bit sci-fi, it also feels rea…

  • Just watched MI: Dead Reckoning Pt.1 again, first time was theatrically, this time on a new Blu ray. Man, I loved it this time even more than the first. It's such a long movie, but it sure doesn't FEEL like it. I can't wait for the second part! I j…
  • After two dead serious Bond movies, Kennedy was assassinated, and the Vietnam War was getting bad press. Goldfinger, Thunderball & You only live Twice were a jump to more fantasy, in 1968 they filmed a fairly serious On Her Majesty's Secret Serv…

  • Nothing more realistic than wanting water rights. Especially in today's world.
  • I'm not holding my breath. 1 was interesting, 2 was okay. I liked the Lynch one better.
