The man with the Midas touch......

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: Gert Frobe as Goldfinger not up to scratch with the others

...view, I would still rate Goldfinger very highly. The Bond series has a fresh director at the helm and an extremely charismatic Bond leading on the screen. The scenery in the film is beautiful, and the characterisation from Fleming is transferred very well onto the screen by Richard Maibaum, the screenplay writer. Shirley Bassey provides the title track of the film, a song to stick in my mind - beautifully crafted and performed. If there was anything ...
...Frobe as Goldfinger, as he does seem a little out of his depth in this. He is not very convincing as a villain, so it is just as well he has Oddjob and Pussy Galore, as they are very convincing. Conclusion Another good Bond film. The DVD is available from amazon.co.uk for £4.35. This review may also be posted on dooyoo.co.uk. Thanks for reading. ...

Review of Goldfinger (Ultimate Edition) (DVD)

"The things I do for England."

Advantages: Fun!
Disadvantages: A bit daft

You Only Live Twice is the fifth film in the James Bond series and was released in 1967. It was the first film in the series to be based on an original screenplay rather than a Fleming novel and was written by popular children's author Roald Dahl. Fleming's story of an amnesiac Bond stalking Blofeld in a strange Japanese castle was discarded in favour of an outlandish script which sees the United States and Soviet Union played off agaisnt each other ...
...onscreen encounter with 007... You Only Live Twice is widely regarded to be one of the dafter James Bond films but a hugely entertaining one nonetheless. The film continues the trend towards larger than life mayhem and gadgets and is most famous for Ken Adam's incredible production design which created a gigantic hollowed out volcano set for Blofeld's base, including a sliding roof and monorail! You Only Live Twice was by some distance the most ...

3 of the best

Advantages: Action packed and all together
Disadvantages: Face/Off can be a little confusing

Nicolas Cage maybe my most loved actor ever! in all 3 films he gives incredible performaces combined with amazing action shots that would put a lot of films to shame. The Rock: With a rouge general and special forces team loose of Alcatraz with enough missiles and VX gas to destroy most of San fransico. Only an FBI lab rat has the knowledge and cool to disarm the weapons. Teaming up with Sean Connery the only man to ever break ou of the infamous ...

Review of Nicholas Cage Collection - The Rock / Face/Off / Gone In 60 Seconds (DVD)

Life Post Bond

Advantages: Lots of Sean Connery
Disadvantages: Lots of not very good Sean Connery

...except that that all feature Sean Connery in the lead role. Starting with his first post Bond role in Zardoz and finishing with his final big screen performance (to date) in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, this set includes mediocre performances in some ordinary movies and serves no real purpose other than filling the gaps in your collection. Looking at the movies in chronological order we get: Zardoz (1974) John Boorman was given a free hand ...
...five post-Bond flicks to show Sean at his best I might have chosen differently. Aside from the obvious choice of The Untouchables, your collections may be better served by these lost Connery movies all made since he handed back his license to kill for the first time in 1971. • The Man Who Would Be King (1975) • Outland (1981) • The Name Of The Rose (1986) • The Presidio (1988) • Finding Forrester (2000) ...

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...
