Noted ala Orpheus then Maniac Cop 2 (1990, Bill Lustig) 1st sequel to the '88 film. Claudia Christian has to make people believe Matt Cordell is still swinging that stick. Bruce Campbell turns up to collect his cheque.

The Spy Who Loved Me. 1977. Lewis Gilbert. Its been years since i watched any classic James Bond, particularly the Roger Moore era films. So given Sir Rogers recent passing i decided to dig one out the other night. My favourite has always been The Man With the Golden Gun but i thought I'd go with this one. One of the most highly regarded films of the franchise it's actually one i remember finding a little underwhelming on my last viewing, sometime in the dark ages. Starting off with a cracking ski chase/shootout somewhere in Austria that culminates in the iconic parachute jump (one of the most famous stunts of the whole franchise) the action absolutely rattles along as Agent 007 is partnered with the gorgeous Barbara Bach as Russian agent Anya Asamova to investigate the mysterious disappearance of both Soviet and US nuclear submarines. Featuring such franchise highlights as the Bonds underwater car and metal mouthed henchman Jaws the films still manages to maintain a grounded feel and the later scenes aboard villain Strombergs ocean liner almost have the feel of classic war films. Cracking stuff and a film my memory clearly lied to me about. Might give Moores debut Live and Let Die a spin this week. |

Not a big fan of the franchise to be honest, but this and Live and Let Die are my favourites. |

When i was a kid i thought they were incredible. Bond particularly when played by Sir Roger was the coolest man on earth. Then i grew up a bit and fell way out of love. I really really enjoyed SpyWLM and can see myself working my way through a few of them in the coming weeks. Does anyone have any thoughts on the blus?

The Wizard of Lies ~ Story of now infamous Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme in which he defrauded billions and billions from his clients some of which were big name celebrities like Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgwick and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Brilliant all round most especially De Niro(whom was probably getting sick of doing comedy the last several years) 8.5/10

I'm not a big Bond fan (quite like the Daltons, esp Licence to Kill, but that's it otherwise) but I love the Moore's. Hey, Demoncrat, someone else who prefers Fright Night II to the first one! |
