    We watched Bronson last night ,a story about Britains most violent criminal ,starring Tom Hardy .Very good film , but cant help thinking ,that if the boot was on the other foot ,ie it was depicting how the Nazis locked up prisoners ,there would be an outcry
    After all this is Blighty old chap.Recommend watching it .especially our lady agents ;)

    Quatermass And The Pit

    I'd seen it before, but this was the first time on Blu-Ray. One of the best sci-fi/horror movies ever, and all the better with the improved picture. Geek that I am, I've also got the original BBC version and can never decide which is better- both have their strengths.
    A few Bond links include Cec Linder (Felix in GF) in the BBC version, and Julian Glover in the Hammer movie.

    I watched the original(and the best)version of "The flight of the phoenix. Why they had to make an updated version is beyond me.
    The cast reads like a whos who in the film world ,Stewart,Attenborough,Banham,Kennedy,Borgnine,a big name cast. James Stewart,and Richard Attenborough,are a classic duo .The scene where the two finally realise that the aircraft, designed by Hardy Kruger,is basically a big toy. Kruger in his brilliant portrayal of the highly efficient German designer,is out standing , in explaining his view on why this thing will fly.The facial expressions between Stewart and Attenborough,is just sheer genius.Not many words are exchanged between these two ageing air jockeys,but Attenboroughs eyes say a thousand words.I felt a twinge of sadness at this performance,as most of todays up and coming actors have only one goal in life ,to be famous. And sadly we shall never see the like of Sir Richard again.If you have never seen the original ,and only the pile of crap ,that Wahlberg made ,rent it.watch it asap.

    Watched Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, first time I've seen it, prefer it over the first but not as good as the second or fourth. Then watched True Lies, good action film, but is the bridge near the end of the film the same one used in LTK?

    Saw Fury Road today. Very entertaining movie with some striking visuals (especially a violent sand storm about 1/3 of the way thru). However, the movie was utterly devoid of the humor and quirkiness of the prior films and Max's sidekicks and adversaries were a pretty bland bunch with no one approaching the personality of the Gyro Captain, the menace of Wez or the sheer absurdity of Ironbar.

    I feel that the old Max had more of a Personality.

    Ive yet to see it ,but its going to take a lot to beat Gibson, The old Max films ,as you say had some great characters
    The Humungus, Toady, Toecutter ,Bubba Zanetti, theres loads more ,so fingers crossed for a good re-make ?.
    hmmm remakes ,let me think 8-)
    The Italian job, crap
    The flight of the Phoenix,crap
    All the last Planet of the Apes ,crap

    Watched Tron earlier. Whilst it is visually stunning (even today it looks good and retro), but apart from that felt it was very....meh. Didn't think much of it, and didn't feel for the characters who didn't make it to the end as we never see much of them. I give it an 8/10, which is a rating I give to films that aren't bad but aren't 'oh wow, I'm going to be watching that again and again!'

    On the horror channel earlier today, I watched " Batman: The Movie" :))
    ( I have seen it before a few times) as far from Chris Nolan's or Tim
    Burton's idea for Batman as you can get, but fun in a " Camp" 60s way. :))

    Watched The Grand Budapest Hotel earlier, funny, looks great, and very unique. I recommend checking it out. Then watched Superman III, pretty good, it has that 80's look of bright colours, effects, bits of Sci fi.....it's why I also like films like Halloween III and Nightmare one Elm Street IV.
