6 Underground is a great movie.. not great in that its " Apocalypse Now meets Fast n Furious".. its great in that you are entertained throughout the movie.. its not gonna win awards, but, really, its a few spots down from where i would put it.. ;-).. Striptease ?? .. its good, just for Demis Tata's... Alexander.. is pretty awesome.. critics trashing it aside.. Girl with the Dragon Tatoo trilogy.. is one of the best movie trilogies ever... bar none.. its just insanely good at every level.. and " I care, a lot".. i didnt Pikes character was supposed to be viewed with compassion.. i thought the exact opposite, in fact, you loathe her, and hope she truly " gets it " in the end.. just my take.. i loved her portrayal and thought she nailed it, as if she was a slimey Used Car Dealer taking advantage of little old ladies..and you wanted his ass busted up.. ;-)

Daniel Craig movie Casino Royale followed the original James Bond book by Ian Fleming of the same name, with elements of the Ian Fleming James Bond book Moonraker. So this first movie with Craig as Bond followed Fleming's Bond, as did Dr. No, From Russia with Love and others of those Bond movies of the 60's.

Alexander was a horrible movie. The main reason Alexander the Great (ATG) was such an important historical figure was that he was a military genius. But you don't see a hint of that in this movie. Apparently Oliver Stone thought the real reason ATG was important was that he liked to kiss other guys, because we see that a few times. And the ending is the WORST. Why did ATG conquer all this lands? So that people could be FREE! Of course! Aaaarrrgg!!!!

I have just had that happen to an old friend from work. They stole her house and moneys, her family got nothing. Everyone is on it just like the movie. They even tried to keep me from seeing her at the place and even threatened to call the police on me when I became angry. She is at beginning stages of senility. I tried to get her to change the place, but she was so fooled that she would not take my advice. When they found out I was talking to her they changed her phone number and I can no longer talk to her. I spoke to a lawyer and he said she had signed away everything to her "sponsor" and gave her power of attorney. I don't know what else to do. I don't know her family much and they live in the Virgin Islands and I don't think they will do anything about it. I am so goddam mad!

The 1967 version of Casino Royal is not considered James Bond/007 canon, and for good reason. It was never intended to be anything other than a comedy/spoof. Never Say Never Again (1983) isn't considered James Bond/007 canon either, as it's a remake of Thunderball (1965).

Hey. I love your videos, most helpful indeed ;) The next time you do a video of free KZbin picks, there are some Charles Bronson movies you should include; Chato's Land. He plays an indian on the run from a posse for killing the town sheriff in self defense He literally only says 7 words in the whole movie. A lot of stars in the posse. (There's a rape scene that's a little tough to watch) Red Sun. Toshiro Mifune is in this. Bronson and his gang rob a train, Bronson gets double crossed. He and Mifune join forces reluctantly to track him down, each for their own reasons The Mechanic. Bronson plays a hitman showing Jan-Michael Vincent the ropes. AMAZING ending Also a Paul Newman movie called Sometimes A Great Notion based on a Ken Kesey novel. Loaded with stards.. Henry Fonda, Richard Jaekel, Michael Sarrazin... completely overlookedKeep up the good work ;)

The Guest is great but it's from 2014, not 2019 Casino Royale is the best Bond film. Training Day is great. Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is good but the Swedish original movie is better. Also, the Swedes filmed all three of the Stieg Larson books and Fincher never got to do the other two. Nocturnal Animals is very good, got very good reviews but was always too arty for mainstream success. There is a long sequence that is so incredibly tense that the rest of the movie can't quite match it. War Dogs was so much better than I would have expected. Absolutey worth a watch.
