While we are on the subject of Forrest Gump .The Bubba-Gump shrimp company is opening a new restaurant in Londons
Trocadero in Piccadilly Circus .They do great sea food
Just saw Terminal Velocity & The Rock. The former was a cool 90's tour de force of crazy post Cold War spy stuff, and the latter was like seeing Bond disavowed & left to rot.
Both highly recommended.
Oddly I'd never seen the original till this afternoon ( I have seen the remake).
Somehow I feel this black and white 1962 film is the superior version. Perhaps
Because of the black & white it feels very documentary in style and the end is still
A shock. Some fine performances and the story itself is a brilliant idea, which has been
Used in films and TV shows many times since. I also think it was the first mainstream
American film to show a martial arts fight sequence.
I'd highly recommend it to anyone wanting to watch a great thriller. -{

Brilliant film - saw it in 2007 or so and thought that Laurence Harvey would have made a very good James Bond. Brilliant actor, as is Frank Sinatra. I agree, a clever and brilliant thriller based on a book that's even better apparently. -{
"The tough man of the world. The Secret Agent. The man who was only a silhouette." - Ian Fleming, Moonraker (1955).
I watched PATTON today ,(a long film ) now during the film Patton ,played very well by George ,c,Scott , arrive at this Tunisian village in a half track and jeeps ,all with this 60s style cop car siren wailing . Now as the pull into this village, you can plainly see Pattons vehicle run over a white chicken and kill it , but a good film none the less
Yesterdey I saw "No Country for Old Men" for the first time. It's the first movie in many months that I had to watch with additional English subtitles because that damn Texas-English was barely understandable for me!
The movie was amazing though, I was especially impressed by the brutality and realism of it <which kinda sounds like I'm a psycho maniac lol>
A basic spy formula movie, I enjoyed it, sure it's predictable but fun. It doesn't
Do anything new to the genre. Kenith Branagh makes a great villain and also
Directs -{ My wife suggested it would have worked as a hand over movie. If
They had of had Harrison Ford training up Chris Pine as a new agent, to take
Over from him ?

I enjoyed it but at one stage I thought I was watching a chick flick. Would have preferred less of the lovey dovey and a bit more ultra violence lol
I think it got a bit weak at the end too, maybe a bit too long
) agreed about the " Chick flick" parts. I put that down to Branagh
Not being an action director, the weak ending was very predictable. I
Was able to tell my wife how the " maguffin" would be disguised and how
It would have to be moved at the last minute. still I've sat through far
Worse.
