Sean will always be Bond for me, but Moore is close.
I film term's his Bond's were dreadful, rank bad scripts, Moonraker is maybe the worst.
I liked the way Moore played Bond, he had the best toys, best cars and most of the best girl's, definitely the best one liners.
Yep!
Yeah, that's the feeling I'm getting so far as well. He plays it well, just wish the movies were better. Don't especially look forward to Moonraker, but I guess I'll have to
The Last King of Scotland (2006)
Gillian Anderson.
Gillian Anderson.
Absolutely. Phenomenal movie.
One could argue a top 50 movie line is in that movie, top 20 even.
I'm slightly annoyed but I'll wait to see how this develops further before responding.
(Which is a variation on that movie line, for those that don't know or recognize it.
)

Those Who Wish Me Dead
Angelia Jolie plays a rugged Montana firefighter. Enough said.

Live and Let Die is one of my favourite Bonds. OTT plot, cool locations, great music, memorable baddies and Jane Seymour.
The Green Inferno
Cynical rip of student climate activists veers into full-on cannibal natives territory with loads of gore.
Entertaining, knowingly offensive and benefits from a decent spattering of humour.
7.5/10

I feel the exact opposite
But, hey, with 24 movies there should be something for everyone.I feel the exact opposite
Yep fair enough. Not even when he shoots the compressed gas bullet into Whisper?Michael Collins or The sum of all fears. Watching one of them tomorrow.
Wasn't it into the couch he was sitting on? But yeah, I liked that scene!
Sum of All Fears.
The couch was earlier, Bond shoots him- the effects are amazing.
Watch ‘Michael Clayton’ instead of either of those two.
Saw Two Hands for the first time in 20 years last night
Cracking wee film
Ledger and Rose Byrne are both sexy af in it

To be honest I was surprised by his rating. It was appalling.
If you watching Bond, them yes it has to be watched.Yeah, that's the feeling I'm getting so far as well. He plays it well, just wish the movies were better. Don't especially look forward to Moonraker, but I guess I'll have to
Moonraker does have some good points, I quite liked the villain, Jaws is a good bad guy and it has the best one liner in any film
I loved it.
Nightcrawler
Watched it after a recommendation from here and enjoyed. Felt a little slow to get going but the last hour was intriguing and I didn't expect it to pan out as it did.
Thought JG was great in his role. Never have I disliked a character so much yet still be emotionally attached with them and their success. Quite a strange feeling. I got devil like vibes from him and his characters purpose throughout.
Give it a 7/10 and definitely worth a watch if you're looking for something different and thought provoking.

The Truman Show. 9/10. Very good.
I watched it the other night, one of the best films I have watched this year.
I would agree with this, easy in my top 10.
Time To Hunt: A thriller about a group of friends living in South Korea in a near future where the economy has completely gone to shit and their lives seem hopeless. They decide to do a heist on a gang-owned illegal casino, which then releases its legendary hunter on them.
I hated it. The film moves way too slowly for its genre, and everything that holds it up felt irrelevant and, frankly, boring. It's 2h15 long; probably would have been better at 1h30 without the attempt to make it a social drama as well.

Olympus Has Fallen

Popcorn movies good to see when you aren't fully sober. Binge watched them back to back last night and it was fun. I don't remember much but I was thoroughly entertained. Gerard Butler rocks!

The Hangover (2009)
I'm generally picky when it comes to comedy films, but this is definitely a modern classic. I wonder how long it will take until we get another original comedy that's such a massive success.

It’s been almost 12 years. Still waiting.
Do they even make comedies anymore? Rom-coms and comic book movies with a "cheeky edge" not included, obviously.
Comedy is basically dead these days. No one knows how to be funny. Just hundreds and hundreds of female comedy movies that involves a sassy black chick, the crazy chick, the normal one and if course the fat one who absolutely has to fall through a table or some physical comedy because after a few hundred times they think it's still funny. Plus the over explaining. So much explaining as to why the joke is funny. Christ I miss the old days.
Or a The Rock / Kevin Hart flick.
I watched an uncomfortable movie yesterday called Oasis, which is about a man with learning disabilities who goes to prison to cover up his brother in a hit and run incident.
When he gets out falls in love with a woman suffering from cerebral palsy; which begins an unconventional romance that at times morphs between reality and fantasy.
I've ead some reviews and people have described it as 'unconventional love story', which I agree with. It's also rooted social commentary about able-bodied dehumanise disabled people.
It's all full of terribly unlikable characters and ends with a rather damning indictment of both families.
It's Korean but I think it's got universal relevance and is overall quite a powerful piece of cinema.
It's by the guy who made Burning - the film based on a Murakami short story which came out a few years ago.

1998 to 2009:

- Step Brothers
- Shaun of the Dead
- The 40 Year Old Virgin
- Dodgeball
- Anchorman
- Zombieland
- The Hangover
I've definitely forgotten a few, but still...
Uncomfortable, but very powerful. Not a movie you forget easily.
Modern comedy is horrible, but this film was quality.
Or sophomoric, low brow abortions like Will Ferrell reboots.
Right out of the Hangover's book.... Bad Neighbours(it's sequel also better than Hangover II), Blockers and Game Night all relatively decent watches, though oddly Neighbours has the lowest RT score, but certainly the better highlights for me.
Oh, and Popstar.
Oh, and Popstar.
Blood Simple (1984)
Debut film for the Coen brothers. They came with a bang with this Neo-noir thriller. Movie revolves around 4 main characters. Filled with dark humor and twists, this is a brilliant one to watch.
