Match Point

Quite possibly the worst film I’ve seen. The film features a cast of accomplished so I can only blame the director for the extraordinary performances of wood. The London of the film is cliché (shots of the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, the flat front of the Houses of Parliament) and the plot is as old as Match Point the hills.

There is zero chemistry between any of the characters and some real cringe worthy and vomit-inducing lines. Also for too long - I wish I could get a refund in the (more) two hours of my life I lost in this absolutely useless chatter.

I wish I could give this movie a negative score. Avoid at all costs.

Amazing.

Die Another Day Having found my love for James Bond films in 2001 when the old films were on ITV1 thought Bond Is not that great. I have some James Bond movies on video for Christmas and then was waiting impatiently for the day he was released ‘Bond21.

In 2002 I found out, but it was called “Beyond the Ice” and “Beneath The Sea” was called “Die Another Day” that had Pierce Brosnan as 007 for the 4th time. But their problems are: Halle Berry did her best, but personally I do not think she is a very good actress as she painted (I have to see Monsters Ball then perhaps they could see why she won an Oscar!) but its role Jinx is too acted and the lines are strained and cringeworthy too. I was not interested in the fact that Bond did his usual “Vodka martini shaken not stirred”, but says: “ensure that shakes”, which is not the same.

says “Bond, James Bond”, but the focus of the camera as it does as it should and the classic line seems almost nonexistent, and only based on saying “no bond” which is so good. Rosamund Pike was really excellent as Miranda Frost she played the role very well, but the character should have had more to do.

What about Toby Stephens as Gustav Graves? Well, I’m not willing to change and especially not with James Bond 007 movies so this bond villain does not really change. what’s cool about this movie is the Bond on a mission to find out who ordered the torture and burning leads to an ice palace where he met Gustav Graves (although he had seen before in Buckingham Palace - Graves in which to make a grand entrance in fact some of the great music) to be heard (has been for many years).

so all in all pretty good, but I think that was really brave or Jinx as cold as it was meant to be. It was not very resistant to Bond’s charms either. nah, that could have been much better.

Are you crazy? 56%?

I saw this movie recently and was thoroughly beaten fear. Woody Allen is a genius.

I thought it would be a movie about ‘tennis’ (Wimbledon) - but was informed it was written and directed by Woody, so we really wanted to see. I knew the man was a great Match Point writer, actor, director - but this movie really hits on all fronts.

Brian Cox, the father figure in the film has many lines - but each line is like gold, honey … And that goes for all dialogs. Custom give anything in the story, but I recommend this as a ‘must see’.

Bond has come a long way since Dr. No.

You have the luxury places, fast cars and fast women, gadgets and gizmos and always will be bad. But he is not as smooth as it used be.Pierce Brosnan as Bond is good.

Halle Berry and Madonna with the Die Another Day eye candy. (A bit of a struggle) The story is a good idea, but real life is becoming more difficult to imitate. If you are a die-hard fan, then this review will make you groan.

Is it worth seeing? Bond Yes.James remains the agent want to be men and women want to be with.
