8MM (1999) Review

Ok so lets talk about 8MM. The film is directed by Joel Schumacher. Joel Schumacher of Batman and Robin fame. Upon going on Metacritic to see the reviews of this film I found it actually has less than Batman and Robin. Let that sink in, if the reviews are to be believed then this film is worse than the famous shitty Batman and Robin. But it’s much better, and also has Nicolas Cage.

Snake Eyes (1998) Review

“You’ve got snake eyes.” Yaaay! It’s Nicolas Cage time! Snake Eyes comes from my favourite era of the master’s work, the 1990’s. In this decade you had some downright excellent action films like The Rock, Con Air and Face/Off (not to mention his Oscar win). In the 90’s you could hardly move for all the Nicolas Cage. I feel Snake Eyes is […]

Skyfall Review

It seemed silly to re-do my review of Skyfall, seeing as I’d already reviewed it right here!! Skyfall is a brilliant movie, and a brilliant Bond film as well. It’s near perfect for me. It’s got the right mixture of quips and a good story, two things that I think the previous two films were missing respectively. […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Casino Royale

“Well, I understand double 0s have a very short life expectancy…” Goodbye Pierce Brosnan! After his contract of 4 films was up (and because he was getting on a bit) the search was on for a new Bond. A lot of criticism was leveled at Daniel Craig when he got the role, some seeing him […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – The World Is Not Enough

“Never let them see you bleed.” As Tom said on his review of Tomorrow Never Dies, Pierce Brosnan’s Bond movies go from best to worst. And that seems to be the case here as well. I like The World Is Not Enough, though. Not as much as the previous two, and it’s certainly far from perfect, but […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – GoldenEye

“Closing time, James. Last call.” After Licence to Kill was released there were some legal problems. Legal problems which caused a 6-year hiatus and the loss of Timothy Dalton as Bond. But all was not lost, because eventually Bond did return. This time in the form of Remington Steele himself; Pierce Brosnan. GoldenEye is my favourite Bond […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – The Living Daylights

“Whoever she was, I must have scared the living daylights out of her.” So that’s it for Roger Moore. He had a good run, but after how old he looked in A View to a Kill, I’m just glad he didn’t come back for another one. The Living Daylights is a great film, with a […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Octopussy

“Mr. Bond is indeed of a very rare breed… soon to be made extinct.” Octopussy is an odd one. It’s partly serious, with the USSR side of things, and at the same time it’s absurd with 007 dressing up as a clown. But I can’t help but love it. I was actually surprised to find […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Moonraker

“Mr. Bond, you persist in defying my efforts to provide an amusing death for you.” Moonraker has somewhat of a reputation. It’s famous for being the one in which Bond went to space. Many people write it off as terrible because they think it’s only around because Star Wars was popular. Well this is a completely different thing […]

The Wire Season 5 Review

“It’s Baltimore. No one lives forever.” Here we ago again, for the last time. Season 5 of The Wire is sadly its last season. But it’s still SO good. I’ll try to keep this review shorter than the Season 4 one but I make no promises. Read on as I tell you my opinions on the series, […]
