He always looked about sixty, same as Randolph Scott. :)Quote:

Here you go, at 11.00pm, 'Frankenhooker' on Horror Channel. Something deep and thought provoking (not) :D.

Sorry, I've read this about 5 times now and still have no idea who the tennis player is you're referring to...:scratch: Is it that Milland bloke? If so, I've never heard of him. All this old fogey stuff is before my time:DQuote:

Lol - cheers, Barry. I didn't have a scooby-doo, as Granty sometimes has a rather confused/disjointed way of expressing himself:eyebrows: Of course it didn't help either that I'd never heard of Ray Milland - all before my time, and outside of my interests, I'm afraid:)Quote:

Was both successful and well thought of, as it still is, although a film of its time in any ways.
Local Hero. Directed by Bill Forsyth 1983

Quality film with some nice bit parts
World War Z (2013)

Brad Pitt is an ex- UN agent (WTF?) blah blah. A plague creates zombies, Brad has to come out of retirement to find the cure.
With your typical zombie apocalypse there's basically only two types:
1) Slow Zombies - As long as you can get your shit together early doors, are careful, and have access to firearms it can be a lot of fun especially if you're Brad Pitt.
2) Fast Zombies - Not fun at all even with access to firearms and being Brad Pitt. Fast zombies are a serious pain in the arse that you could really do without.
Unfortunately for Brad it's fast zombies this time so he's got a lot on his plate poor lad.
Pretty good film this though, Pitt is always good and the supporting cast are good too. Continuous tension, loads of action, could watch it again which is rare these days for me.
Glasgow stands in for Philadelphia in this which is an amazing bit of filmmaking because I had no idea until I read up on it afterwards. I've been to both and they are nothing alike.
Hang em high directed by Ted Post from 1968. Clint Eastwood stars. One of the classic Eastwood westerns

The direction is a bit stodgy but agree it's a good 'un.Quote:

Marvellous film and a few predictions that came to be and a few that didn't.

Just recently got it on UHD and been waiting for a good time to watch it in peace and quiet.
I have a greater appreciation for the MCU films now since watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The film doesn't do 4K much justice I feel, especially HDR, the film isn't particularly colourful but it beats watching on Amazon. It's far clearer than 1080p (to be expected)

I remember that, good movie. Been remade a couple of times I think.Quote:

Some classic lines
Outlaw King on Netflix last night.
Story of Robert the Bruce stars Chris Pine of Star Trek fame.
Great actor and a very passable Scottish accent, Simon Pegg you have a long way to go.
Great film, knew a lot of the filming locations too, which was cool.

Watched this a few nights ago. It was good. Would have preferred a Scottish actor for the lead but still, he does well.Quote:

Pierce Brosnan is a serving MI6 agent, blah blah. But then you knew all that already. Are the Bond films now unique in having an agent who does not have to reluctantly come out of retirement to do a job? Probably.
First of the franchise re-boot following the long gap from the Dalton films. It still has the proper Q and not frigging John Cleese or some schoolboy and the new Moneypenny is hot in a classy sort of way but I could never get with Judi Dench playing M.
Personally I don't think they've made a really good Bond film since Moonraker but they're still worth a watch as they are always professionally put together. As with all of the more recent ones snappy dialogue and good characters are lacking and villain Sean Bean makes the mistake of not shooting Bond dead as soon as he captures him not once but twice...Bring back Ernst Stavro Blofeld I say. I know Donald Pleasance is dead but can't they use CGI or something?
And the Brosnan Bonds got worse from here on in too although 'Die Another Day' is passable. Oh well, maybe one day they will sort it out and we can have a proper Bond film again.

James Belushi and big Arnie in Walter Hill's 1988 Red Heat. Think Hill wrote it too. James Horner did the soundtrack which is very good

Dalton’s my favourite Bond btw, closest to Flemings for my money.
Respectfullly,

Controversial but agree that the shark did get jumped. Funny really, there's just as much silly stuff as the invisible car in the Roger Moore films but it sort of worked in them.Quote:

The better Connery ones were more serious and better depending on your pov.
Long running series...like Dr Who, Bond I guess i can always do the zeitgeist thing and be relevant to whatever era of audience is watching because the basic premise is strong enough?
Some stuff dates and is of its time, imagine doing a post #metoo remake of Barbarellla??
Secret Agent who has lots of exciting gadgets and always betters the bad guys?
Basic premise you can mould to any audience.
