Star Wars? I am not going to summarise the movie, you can read that elsewhere.

Do I believe the hype or not! Is it, its it not Good? The Jury is still out for me. I tend to have the opinion, the harder the film company tells us that "YYY is the most important, or best film ever." the film fails to live up to the hype. This film lives up to my biased conclusions. Star wars VII is not bad, neither is it original, but any film has to be better than Episodes I - III. Read many of the reviews uploaded on this site, they are calling it a remake rather than a reboot, They do have a point. This is a new start with too many references to past episodes. It is easy to why they write as they do. If one has never watched the original IV - VI episodes you will watch an enjoyable explosive led action film. If that is not you, it is easy to spot the scene and story familiarities. The new young lead actors give good performances, the characters interesting enough to carry the story forward, when the original cast members are not part of the films any more. Star wars VII is OK but I still prefer the original episode IV with is less than perfect special effects.

Daniel Craig returns to the roll of James Bond, with as much energy and screen prescience as Casino Royale. What a shame he out acts the script. For a film running time of 110 minutes, it felt like 150 minutes.

The film starts a short time after the end of Casino Royal, with 007 returning to Uk Secret location in Italy to debrief his captured mystery Man with the Money.

The theme of the Quantum of Solace, is vengeance, Along the way he manages to bring down a Power Driven Badie.

From the moment the film starts, it is full of pace and energy, However One does feel that, some of the set sequences, appear similar. Thankfully the stunts do not look CGI created.

You will have to decide if you like the film, For such a wonderful restart I think the story was lacking.

Read the book bought the tee shirt now see the film! Here is a film that tells the story of the little hobbits Frodo and his friends. For three hours, you are taken on a journey and at the end you are left wanting more. I sat beside someone who as the lights came up looked shell-shocked. Overcoming my own visualization of the characters and settings, (BBC Radio adaptation and reading the book) after a few moments they all appeared totally natural. The acting is never overshadowed by the plentiful special effects. At times LOR is reminiscent of a Ray Harryhausen film. I did feel however that some of the settings a little over the top, this being the ever dominating modeling software, as well is the constant swooping through the virtual settings. Will I be sitting in the cinema next year for another three hours? The answer is a definite yes.
