If it's not it should be. Seems to be a number of them. The two I'm looking for are Korean movies though: Gangster High and Volcano High. Can only find the MTV dubbed version of the latter.

EDIT: found.

Looks awesome.

And just saw the Korean movie 200 Pounds Beauty. Quite enjoyable.

Mama Mia and Better than Chocolate

Both very good movies. Loved Mama Mia for the music

Bond · 03-21-2009, 11:30 PM

Finally saw Quantum of Solace.

Solid 8/10.

Sword of the Stranger

Great movie. Some of the best fight choreography I've seen.

So I got to ask Bond... two things.
1) Why are you just seeing this, I mean your name is BOND!

And two, the DVD/Blu-ray doesn't come out until Tues and its been out of theatres for a while, so how'd you see it?

Just a hunch...

Good everything. I wish that director did more. Reminded me of Pushing Daisies.

Quantum Of Solace - disappointed with this film and I am a bond fan. Seriously I have been obsessed with bond since I was a kid. I owned all the movies on VideoCasette and I am the mug that went and replaced them all with DVDs. Much preferred the new Casino Royale. Mind you thats been the rule of thumb since Goldeneye. It goes Good Bond Film, Crap Bond Film, Good Bond Film, Crap Bond Film and so on. So I will take 'Solace' (haha) in the fact that the next bond film will be a good one.

Gran Torino - I liked this film, it's great to see the old dog Clint again. Worth a watch.

The other film I watched for the first time recently is a Sean Connery flick called 'Outland' set in a mining colony on Io one of Jupiters Moons. An old film, a great film, definately worth watching, with set pieces that look like they are straight out of Alien or Blade Runner. and Sean says 'Arsehole' which souns funny in a Scottish accent. DEFINATELY check this movie out if you can find a copy. I picked one up for £3 in HMV.

That theory doesn't hold true unless you are claiming that The World is Not Enough is a better movie than Tomorrow Never Dies?

And I think Quantum is a much better movie on a repeat viewing.

I am claiming exactly that, I thought Tomorrow Never Dies was rubbish one of the worst bond films in the whole Genera in fact. I would go so far as to say I would rather watch On Her Majestys Secret Service. I cant really justify this, I just didnt like TND.

Admittedly, yes, I have only seen Quantum the once so on your advice I'll give it another go

Wait now you are making it sound like On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a bad movie when it is one of my favorite Bond movies?

What type of rubbish is this?

No No on the contrary. OHMSS is one of my favourites too. I just used it as an example as it is often viewed as one of the worst bond movies, a view I do not share.

I thought OHMSS was great, you see a whole other side to bond and in the end his wife is murdered, theres so much more emotion and depth in this movie than people give it credit for and I thought George Lazenby made a good bond.

It is a shame that there was never really a follow on from this plot. The day I see a new bond film and he's visiting his late wifes grave at the start before going out for revenge is something I have wanted for time.

There's actully two follow-up, doesn't make them good, but follow-ups nonetheless.

The start of Diamonds are Forever shows him tracking down Blofeld for the death of his wife and killing him, of course you find out later it was a clone or something.

Than the start of one of Moore's movies, I believe For Your Eyes Only, has him visiting his wife's grave at the start only for him to be attacked by Blofeld who he finally does kill.
