- Comment Well, I couldn't resist. I went back and found my video cassette and watched it again. Our Man Flint is...well I don't know what Our Man Flint is. It's an alleged spoof of Bond. Yet it takes itself so seriously at times that you aren't always sure. It's as if they started out trying to make fun ...

- Comment I recently watched [i]The Spy Who Came in from the Cold[/i]. It's really not generally my type of movie (I tried reading a LeCarré book once, but couldn't get through it). However, after watching it I must say that this is one of the finer examples of a gritty, paranoid spy thriller that I've ...

Do you just like Anglina Jolie so much that you need to stuff her in somewhere? How about as Rita Skeeter? [quote][b]Ralph Kruhm wrote[/b]Jason may stay as Lucius, of course. He ...

It was fine for awhile, but it became cloying and overdone IMHO. Ok, everything is magical and ...

- Comment Has anyone else noticed that when you start listening to a soundtrack to a movie you've seen (or even think about the soundtrack for a movie you've seen), you suddenly have an overwhelming desire to watch said movie? If I didn't have a stack of movies on loan from the library to watch before ...

- Comment This is not an easy question. When you're done answering it, if you answer it fully, you're ready to begin writing a script treatment. Someone once said that the Leone Dollars films were basically about wars between the gods - everyone else was just there for the gods to play with. I like that ...

- Comment [i]Ratatouille[/i] is a great movie. (All the Pixar movies are worth the time spent watching them.) I saw [i]Golden Compass[/i] the other evening. It's 10 pounds of story in a 5 ounce DVD. It recalls recent popular movies like [i]Harry Potter[/i] (kids in a magical world as the protagonists), ...

- Comment I recall particularly liking Batgirl's theme in BtAS. Even though it isn't in the track list, the music is quite good...it might well be worth a look.

It's cool beyond measure and the over-the-top stuff worked well there. Plus they pretty well followed the ...

- Comment I wonder what they would have done with OHMSS if Connery had signed up for it? Many wish he would have done it after seeing the final product which adhered closely to the book, but what would they have done if he had agreed to do it? I suspect they would have been tempted to do more over-the-top ...

- Comment I watched [i]Priceless (Hors de prix)[/i] last night. It seemed to be primarily a paean to Audrey Tautou (who, for my money, is quite a bit more interesting to watch than Megan Fox. So it had that going for it.) It was a sex comedy about "kept" women and men and the conquering power of ...

- Comment The theme to [i]Our Man Flint[/i] is played in 97 different styles ad nauseum throughout most of the two movies as dance music, background music, radio music, band music and quite possibly in Morse Code. "If you don't mind, sir, I prefer to use my own personal code." "But I would ...

(And it is just as cheesy as it sounds.) Also, they play the CE3K theme as the entry code in [i]Moonraker[/i]. (Which is also just as ...

[i]Quest[/i] is one of those movies I always ...

- Comment I just saw [b]Youth of the Beast[/b]. It's a very stylish Japanese yakuza film with an astonishing amount of violence and aberrant underworld behavior given that it was made in the early 60s. The story is fairly absorbing, although after a spate of violence in the beginning, you may find it drags a ...

- Comment I saw [i]Quantum of Solace[/i] last weekend. I think this film's biggest role is to set up a new secret world organization for Bond and MI6. I understand they can't use SPECTRE any more because of the lawsuits with Kevin McClosky, so I guess this is designed to create a new threat, supposedly ...
