WHAT I LIKED: 'You Only Live Twice,' is actually a very well laid-out Bond film. We begin with a rather brilliant opening sequence in space in which a US spacecraft is stolen, and - with the Russians being blamed - Bond is sent on a mission to Jap... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Leon is the infamous English-language debut of the great Luc Besson, and it of course follows the story of a quiet and meticulous French hitman in New York who inadvertantly ends up caring for his neighbour - a troubled young girl Ma... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: There are certainly things to marvel at in 'Thunderball,' as the underwater sequences are very impressively filmed (especially for their time), and Ted Moore's high-contrast cinematography is more appealing on the whole to my eyes th... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Dr No,' may be the film that introduced the world of Ian Fleming's James Bond to the big screen, but in itself it's actually a rather breezy and slow-paced affair compared to most of its successors. It just has us watch Bond slowly... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: When you break it down, Dirty Dancing is basically a film about whether you can escape the trappings of your circumstances, but one where that expression is forced through the membrane of a wole lot more sexy dancing, big hair and bo... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Jane Austin's Emma is the story of a young, shallow, upper-class woman who manipulates and controls those around her learning the importance of true friendship and acts of kindness. What Eleanor Catton and Autumn de Wilde's version d... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: The first Taken was a well-executed thriller with a brilliantly simple but highly emotive emotive central concept. Taken 2 on the other hand is almost exclusively held up by Liam Neeson who delivers a highly commited and engaging per... Read the full review »
