A great film and Ruffalo and Hathaway put in great performances. But you knew it was Oscar bait

A great adapation. Knew what one of the twists was going to be but the ending was a great moment

One of the most genuinely scariest scenes in any film I've seen.

Beverly Hills Cop II

Even better than the first movie, IMO. "That's a big bitch!" :laugh:

That movie juggles fear and humor at the same time better than just about any other film I've seen.

Yep. I actually really enjoy the performances from Gibson, Phoenix & the kids too. I really love the fact it focuses on this small family rather than this larger than life worldwide event too.

Recommendation: If you dug this kinda introverted look into a major global event then check out Pontypool which is a really cool take on the whole zombie apocalypse.

Get Him to The Greek
A lot of fun this. Russell Brand back when he was funny and Sean Coombs is a riot.

Really?

I like the first two thirds a lot, but I've always thought it totally shits the bed at the end. The final act isn't funny at all and the concluding action scene is appallingly edited.

I've come to expect that editing from Tony Scott, to be honest. And I liked how this one ramped up the action compared to the first.

So I passed the last few days feeling ill by breaking out the Bond 50 Blu-ray set and watching a whole bunch of 007.

Casino Royale

Still can't decide if I'd rank this or Skyfall as Craig's best. Either way, it's really nice to get such a faithful adaptation of a Fleming book after so many years of made-up plots. The torture scene is just as uncomfortable on screen as it is in the novel. Unquestionably the best Bond theme of Craig's tenure as well (although you could argue it's not had much competition :P).

Quantum of Solace

I always feel like there's a good movie here struggling to get out, but it's really spoiled by the way it abandons any real character development in favour of a relentless succession of incomprehensibly-edited action scenes (none of which are at all memorable, except maybe the DC3 sequence). It says a lot that the few really great scenes in it are all found in the rare moments when the film pauses for breath, but these are much too fleeting. The movie seems to work a lot better when watching as a double-bill with its predecessor, but it's still mostly forgettable, poorly-edited stuff.

Also, as a fan of the original novels, I still get mad at how Mathis was so unceremoniously killed off.

Skyfall

"Welcome to Scotland" might well be the best line in a Bond movie since "I think he's attempting re-entry, sir." :laugh:

The instantaneous shift from the young, impetuous Bond of the previous two movies to burnt-out, over-the-hill Bond is a little jarring, and the film is perhaps a bit too Nolan-y at times, but it's still a great entry and the marked difference in style made for a nice change until SPECTRE went the exact same route (with far less success). I also really wish SPECTRE hadn't tried to tie this into the other Craig entries, because Silva (incredible performance by Javier Bardem) works so much better as a stand-alone villain with his own agenda. And speaking of great performances, this might be Judy Dench's finest turn as M.

The bit where they blow up the house at the end is still stunning even now.

GoldenEye

Been years since I last saw this. The first Bond movie of the modern era is arguably also the best.

As much as I enjoy the better Craig movies, I can't help but feel the series has lost a lot of its sense of fun since he took on the role. This movie's a riot, with larger-than-life characters (Trevelyan, Xenia and Oroumov remain some of the franchise's best villains), some superb dialogue and one-liners, a giant satellite dish hidden under a lake (how did they even build that with no one noticing?) and Bond powersliding a tank around Russia. Even the 90s techno-stuff has aged surprisingly well. And I'd completely forgotten quite how many people 007 kills in this; he really goes full-on Rambo. Gotta be his highest body count of the franchise, except maybe when Roger Moore got those two missile subs to nuke each other. Also probably the last Bond movie to rely heavily on miniature effects as opposed to CGI, which is nice.

By the way, was the fact that Sean Bean always dies a thing back when this was made? Because if so his fake death at the start was double cheeky.

Tomorrow Never Dies

Shows Quantum how you do a full-on action-packed Bond movie properly. Brosnan's films may undeniably have suffered from a downward trend, but this is still a thoroughly entertaining flick. Tons of fantastic action sequences but still plenty of time spent with the characters in between. Great to have a bona fide action star as a Bond girl for once too; Michelle Yeoh is one badass lady. Finally, special mention to David Arnold - his score for this is magnificent. You get the impression he'd been waiting his entire life to do a Bond soundtrack and when he finally got the chance, he threw everything he had into it (by all accounts, an accurate summation). He's never equalled it.

Which makes it even more of a shame the producers decided to ditch the fantastic song he wrote (and incorporated liberally into his score) in favour of Sheryl Crow's naff track. Surely one of the biggest f**k-ups in the franchise's history.

I'm clearly in the minority but I would take Quantum of Solace  over Skyfall and Spectre anyday.
