Whenever an eagerly anticipated film comes to the cinema, my hubby and I promise ourselves that we will have an evening out to see the film - we never actually do though. Up to recently we have been fortunate in as much that two of our children still lived at home, and both liked to collect DVD's, we long since realised that if we were to wait long enough then the blockbuster DVD would come out, one of them would buy it.. and that is what has always happened, until now! The two of our children that "live at home" are now only at home part time - if that - they are both living away at university and as they tell me, far too poor to buy ...  Read the complete review

It seems it's taken the Eon Productions team about 10 years and 3 entire films to recover from the disaster of a 007 film that is 'Die Another Day'; 3 entire films: 'Casino Royale', 'Quantum of Solace' and 'Skyfall', in that we don't finally reach the top of that mountain of recovery until the final scene of the latter. As much as 'Skyfall' has been branded as 'back to Bond', it isn't quite. It's certainly got smatterings, much like 'Quantum of Solace' (Qos) did, but its hugely personal plot and select scenes definitely do not fit the bill. Does this make it a bad film? No. Does this warrant a 2-star rating? Definitely not. It's just the unfortunate truth for Bond fans .  Read the complete review

Now I'm not and never will proclaim to be the worlds biggest Bond fan,. nor know everything about him. This weekend however, as a lot of the country will be doing, I happened to end up watching this, my lovely other half had already watched it - but Friday night was my turn to watch it. I'm not the best person with movies, since doing Media Studies for my A-Levels a few years back I tend to pick films apart, and believe me this film was not going to be any different... Much to his annoyance! ~*~ Bond... James Bond ~*~ As we celebrate 50 years of the Bond Franchise, it was fairly obvious that this year was going to be the time in which the next film ...  Read the complete review

I feel a little dirty writing this. As though I'm betraying Queen and Country. This won't be a popular review, but it is my opinion and that's what the site is all about, so first let me say that I don't think this is a bad film by any means. If this was the new Mission Impossible, or a stand alone espionage thriller instead of part of the Bond franchise, I may rate it an extra star. Sadly, this IS the newest film in the Bond franchise and I'm left disappointed. I'll work from beginning to end, mixing good with bad if I may? The main story is fairly flakey. List of MI6 operatives stolen by unseen baddy with ...  Read the complete review
