It is good that there are a group of people in Britain, Matthew Vaughan most prominent among them, trying to make commercial films for an international audience, otherwise we wouldn't have an industry at all. That said, setting a comic montage sequence to Hall & Oates 'You Make My Dreams Come True' is unforgivable.

you ship them?

The original Sherlock appeared in 60 stories - the majority of them short stories - over a period of 40 years. This was the 85th episode of Elementary broadcast since its debut three and a half years ago. Elementary is a highly sophisticated piece of factory-produced television. Given the restrictions of the form,…

I believe Elementary to be underrated. This was the 84th episode of a series that has never been less than charming. You get the sense that the makers made a pledge at the beginning that Sherlock and Watson would never become romantically entwined and the show is the stronger for that decision. Johnny Lee Miller…

If this truly represents the best original music written for games I'd say it has a way to go before it becomes as sophisticated as the best music written for film.

Are you both frustrated scriptwriters? For a factory-produced procedural series in its fourth season of a couple of dozen episodes each, I'd say the standard of writing is remarkably high. It's a damned sight better than House was at this stage of its run.

A Night To Remember is a very British film. We value stoicism above all other qualities, and in ANTR, Kenneth More is the embodiment of dignity in the face of an existential crisis. I cannot watch that film without tearing up. Kenneth More also played Douglas Bader in Reach For The Sky, another testament to the…

Rasche's performance as Linton Barwick/Donald Rumsfeld in In The Loop is magnificent. It helps that the script was so good, but he nailed every line and played brilliantly opposite Peter Capaldi.

All art is subjective, sure, but I feel safe in replying that you are wrong, very wrong about this film. I saw this and Carol the day after and of the two I reckon 45 Years will live longer in my memory.

Fuck off with the MadMax best film of the year bullshit. It's a good film, that I can't deny, but no way is it even in the top ten. Yes, it's kinetic but so is MI whatever-number-we're-up-to. Fucking Millennials, you don't know shit from shoe shine.

I have now seen spectre (like anyone cares) and thought it was okay. The opening sequence was good fun but not the best, which is a pretty accurate summation of the entire movie, IMHO.

I have yet to see Spectre, but it sounds like it will be deja vu all over again as I remember the great opening sequence to The World Is Not Enough - and the subsequent disappointment after sitting through the rest of it.

From a UK/London perspective, I'd suggest JLM/Sherlock is the best dressed male on US TV. I don't pay so much attention to ladies clothing, but Lucy Liu does look very fetching.

"Howard, an often proficient director of mostly good-looking movies…" go fuck y'self, Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, rarely proficient writer of snarky film reviews.

The Captain is my son and I's favourite Marvel movie character. We saw the first one when he was 9, and it's been great to share his enjoyment. Despite the good reviews it received, I still regard Winter Soldier as underrated.

The end of Octopussy is the amazing/stupid fight on the wing of an aeroplane in flight - after Bond has jumped from his galloping horse onto the tail as it took off. Tom Cruise generated heaps of publicity for his airborne stunt in the most recent MI, but it's nothing on the practical stunt work they used to do in…

Leave Octopussy out of this. It's my favourite film to watch over Christmas.

Sam Mendes wasn't involved with QoS. Marc Forster directed it, sort of.

I'd recommend you do - it is the nuttiest of the Moore films, contains some breath-taking stunt sequences (fuck CGI), has good villains, a proper score… I think it's a wonderful entertainment.

I like the theme from Moonraker, sung by Shirley Bassey. Especially as it follows the greatest of all the opening action sequences.
