Was on telly the other night and watched it. I STILL think it has the best chase sequence of ANY film with the boats. Brilliant Bond film.

It’s been so long I forget it’s chase scene. How would you compare it’s chase to the Quantum of Solace boat chase?
he was ok as simon templar back in the day but as james bond?
it’s a toss up as to who was the worst, roger or timothy dalton or pierce brosnan.
sean connery and daniel craig were the only 2 realistic bonds …
Found that to be a bit boring, another good one though is the one on the Thames in The World Is Not Enough. But for me the one in Live and Let Die rules the roost (lot more believable then a jet powered boat driving along the road). Less health and safety in those days too lol. The car chase in Tomorrow Never Dies in the car park was cool too, with the remote control BMW.

When I was a preteen in the 1970s, Roger Moore was the only Bond I knew; it was not until the early 1980s that I learned of Sean Connery and the older Bond movies...
Well once I found out how misogynistic Connery was I couldn't keep liking him in the role... so I've warmed up to Moore.
Checking up Jodie Foster movies I haven't seen. Not so bad.
It gets 7/10 when I sum it up. But at times it felt like 5/10.
But it had some thought provoking in it, so I liked it.
Some how a Scottish accent and James Bond doesn’t seem right.
I like all the Bond's as they are snapshot's of their period, favourite depends on the mood of the day
Overall I prefer the more realistic Bond's, although I dont discount the more fanciful films.Q-6

Shinjuku Incident.
A rare Jackie Chan movie that doesn't showcase his acrobatic fighting technique. I love the various themes explored in this movie: illegal immigration and the exploitations of immigrants, how social status can change people's values and morals. The story is good, although the dialogue is mediocre. Lost in translation maybe? The lighting is awful--harsh lighting and wonky color balance.😞 Oh an the 70's Kung Fu movies orange blood.😏
Better production value and translations would greatly improve the movie. I flip-flop on like and hating the characters, especially the MC. They guy is a hypocrite, but then that's gives the movie a boost in credibility.
The Lady.
Another movie starring an action hero star, Michelle Yeoh, not doing any big action fighting. The acting is amazing from the two lead actors. Not so much from the supporting cast, but then most of them aren't actors. Beautiful cinematography and a powerful story.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, some have greatness thrusted upon 'em. (Twelfth Night Act II, scene 5, line 149-150) The MC's father achieved greatness. He gained freedom for the Burmese people. The MC had greatness thrusted upon her. She was a housewife whom the oppressed citizenry rallied around. She carried on her father's legacy despite the numerous attempts to suppress her by the militant government. And she prevailed.
I liked both of these movies because the themes resonates with me. Others might be disappointed seeing their favorite action hero/heroine not showcasing wild stunts, but these two movies showed me they're more than a one trick pony.🤩 Not gonna lie, I half expected them to open a can of whoop ass at some of the high tension scenes.😁

Sunshine (2007)
Just watch; invigorating, moving & suspenseful. SciFi done right, the power of our star, our dependency is clear. Sunshine we look to create a star within a star with a touch of Lovecraft...

Uncharted (2022)- Now I remember why I did not like this movie, a National Treasure knockoff. The appeal of NT was that it was founded on something based on historical elements, even if it was mostly all made up. This time Uncharted was just ok. So will the sequel be go salvage the treasure? 🤔
This time Uncharted was just ok. So will the sequel be go salvage the treasure? 🤔From my youth, riveting. It won an Academy Award for special effects.

And speaking of Sunshine….
By the same writer, a little thought provoking, not too far from reality considering US politics and media, beautifully shot I thought, and well acted. Bit OTT in a couple of spots but I give it an 8/10. A TOTALLY different film to what the trailers perceived it to be so well done to who ever made the trailer! Enjoyed it.
