Roger Moore's last outing as Bond at 57!!!

Advantages: Great fast paced action
Disadvantages: Moore too old, too much killing

...003's corpse, Bond picks up a microchip which is an exact replica of one manufactured by Zorin Industries, owned by the eccentric businessman, Max Zorin. Bond goes undercover to meet Zorin and finds out that he is producing a revolutionary microchip, and that in order to conquer the microchip market, he is planning to destroy Silicon Valley through a series of earthquakes. Bond must team up with oil company owner Stacey Sutton to take on Zorin, his ...
...ease. Patrick Macnee gives a good turn as a very British horse trainer, Sir Godfrey Tibbett, and Tanya Roberts is good as Bond girl Stacey Sutton, as is Fiona Fullerton as Pola Ivanova. David Yip has a cameo performance. Robert Brown, Desmond Llewelyn and Lois Maxwell return as M, Q and Miss Moneypenny, and the rest of the cast support admirably. My Opinion The soundtrack to this Bond ilm haunts me, probably due to the title track, performed by ...

Review of A View To A Kill (DVD)

The Complete James Bond, 'No Mr. Bond, I expect you to buy...'

Advantages: Good collection of films, iconic characters, stylish presentation
Disadvantages: Out-dated in its collection

THE JAMES BOND COMPLETE COLLECTION I brought this a while back and I must say it is excellent. The presentation is top-notch, the silver briefcase just about the coolest DVD container in the world. It chronicles every film from Sean Connery's 'Dr. No' to the more recent Pierce Brosnan outing 'Die Another Day'. Of course it does not hold the newest additions, Daniel Craig's 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace' but as these are generally new in ...
...watch, if not always for the story then definitely for the generational features. Think Roger more in his 70s safari suit, Sean Connery in his trilby. And then of course you have the women. The big downside to this box set, of course, is that there's always going to be more James Bond films. It may not be in date for very long. Also the price is fairly steep, yet is falling due to the release of newer additions. Despite this, in my opinion you ...

Bus pass Bond

Advantages: Original sequences involving a Horse race.
Disadvantages: Morre is too old to be believable as 007.

The title of A View to a Kill is taken from Ian Fleming's short story called From a View to a Kill. Published in April 1960 as part of a collection of short stories in the novel For Your Eyes Only, the story tells of Bond going undercover to investigate the murder of a dispatch rider in France. This was Roger Moore's seventh and final outing as 007, at the time Moore was 58 and had been in the role of Bond for twelve years so the believability factor ...
...sequence begins with Bond recovering a microchip from the dead body of 003 in Siberia. The chip is the key to the whole plot of the film and from this Bond begins to uncover a web of intrigue and a plan for world domination that has disastrous consequences for the west coast of America. The plot has absolutely nothing to do with the novel at all; in fact the only similarities to the novel are the location of part of the story which begins in France. ...

Review of A View To A Kill (Ultimate Edition) (DVD)

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...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) ...

Review of Crank (DVD)

2012 true or wrong

Advantages: I believe in god so I do not believe the end of 2012.
Disadvantages: 2012 film is entertainment. so make it fun for our minds

...if you buy the hype, 2012 is going to be the year of that will see the end of humanity, much like the earlier 2000s saw the downfall of TRL. The year of shock. Horror. Awe. Awe-some! I am currently much anticipating the apocalypse, especially if it involves John Cusack and will finally foresee that sinful state, California, falling into the Pacific Ocean, where it belongs, obviously. I am anticipating it as much as I did Y2K, with my gallons of water ...
...the claims of December 21, 2012 (in addition to it being my future wedding date), being the end of this current "cycle" we're upon. The Mayans were a very intelligent civilization for their time--they were able to calculate the time of day, and their mathematical accomplishments floored any Europeans' of the time. But there's a lot of controversy as to what December 21, 2012, signifies to them. Of course it's the end of their calendar cycle, but ...
