He requested to be given more to do acting-wise in that one and comes across as constantly pissed off and somewhat overacts, I've seen someone refer to it as a TV actor performance. It's not a BAD performance, but you can really see him trying.

In GoldenEye he's cool, suave, self-assured, and has a wry sense of humour - just as Bond should be.

I never really noticed the 'acting'. I'll bare that in mind next time i watch it. I know the script required him to be more ruthless and not bother about killing a woman.

TWINE is my least favourite of his films. Cracking opening sequence though. Not in the same class as the brilliant opening to Tomorrow Never Dies.

Whilst nowhere near the best i don't think it's crap. Lets say it's flawed but has some good sequences in it. The aforementioned opening on the Thames and the helicopter part to name but two.

Don't worry about it. I still haven't watched my dvd of it.

That's TWO Christmas horror marathons i've had and failed to watch it in either.

I'm thinking i should demote it to my regular weekend new to me horror watching.

The problem is the running time. At practically two hours it's a bit too long, seeing as i watch two films late each Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Yes i've been single a while now, following a broken down engagement. It was an amicable split and she lives in Ireland now (probably with Nordy), and i'm still happy being single....so much freedom!

If only i had more disposable income.

*Actually, I really enjoyed the zombie camp-out sequence. THAT was a good one

Cabin Fever 3

Um...It's called 'Cabin Fever 3'. What more do you need to know

*Actually, I really enjoyed the final credits!
