Bond is back! Daniel Craig is brilliant; his Bond is suave, sophisticated, and looks like he’d actually be capable of killing someone if he needed too. There’s lots of amazing action and more phsycological complexitiy than has been in a … Continue reading →

Arrrrggggggg. Huge potential lost in the ‘message’. The animated dancing and singing penguins are fabulous. And for quite a while it’s rather cute. Then it seriously goes south in all sort of awful ways which I won’t detail ‘cos I … Continue reading →
