Skyfall (2012)
Back to ejector seats
Yay, the Bond for our era
Well that didn't last very long did it? Two films taking a fresh, interesting approach but then that's it, back to the ejector seats. From beginning to end, everything in that film was an ancient Bond cliché.
All I can do it refer to the review of kumar_amit-517-866321
Talk about hitting the nail on the head for this amazingly disappointing and overrated movie. It's the Emperor's new clothes. I'm looking around and rubbing my eyes in disbelief and the review of these critics. The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day were terrible films but at least it was to be expected.
The Intelligence Men (1965)
Great comedy writing and performance
I could never understand the slating that this film has always received. Admittedly it's not The Pink Panther but it was never meant to be. It's very clear to see that it was made on buttons but the writing and performances are terrific.
There are quite a few comedy moments in The Intelligence Men that even by today's standards are stunningly funny and yet at the same time are just so wonderfully innocent in their delivery. The 'where did that music come from then' moment is streets ahead of it's time as is the hilarious resolution to the sinister man who follows them around throughout the film, it's worth watching for that bit alone.
