Not a smash hit

Advantages: Good to watch while chilling out with a beer
Disadvantages: Slow film and a bit cheesey

...turn his platform towards the meteor and use it to save the world. As luck would have the military are not too pleased with this and the animosity between scientist and military shows through. This only gets worse when Dr Bradley works out that there is not enough power in the platform's nuclear missiles to destroy the meteor and he suggests that the US contacts Russia so their platform called " Peter The Great" can also be used. What makes the ...
...have stated that they don't have any missiles in space. Needless to say both governments finally agree ( as if they wouldn't ) to work together so along comes the love interest in the form of russian translator Tatiana Nikolaevna Donskaya ((Natalie Wood) had to look up that name in the credits) who translates for Dr Bradley's russian counterpart Dr. Alexei Dubov. Well now we have a race against time to get both platforms pointing the right way and ...

Advantages: 3 Great Films

Review of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (Blu-Ray)

"Making mud pies, 007?"

Advantages: Fun, witty script
Disadvantages: Bit lightweight, plot holes

...to play James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever - a film that would reunite him with Goldfinger director Guy Hamilton. What is the plot of Diamonds Are Forever you ask? The plot of Diamonds Are Forever is all over the place with one or two holes but essentially revolves around diamond smuggling. The British Secret Service notice that someone is building a vast collection of the world's diamonds and send James Bond to investigate why they keep disappearing. ...

Although Diamonds Are Forever is quite offbeat at times with a very atmospheric score by John Barry that is a major strength, it is also quite jovial in tone. There is a lot more humour in this one in contrast to previous entries. The previous film - On Her Majesty's Secret ...
