1984 (Nineteen Eighty Four)

Read the book first.

(Edit) 14/03/2015

My only gripe with this film is they must presume everyone has read Orwell's 1984. If you haven't you may find this film hard to follow. Too often key points or changes are not made apparent enough to the viewer. This being the case, the film fails to equal the book in any area. It's a pity as Hurt's acting is excellent, and the film certainly gives out the right atmosphere.

Skyfall

Is this really James Bond?

(Edit) 14/03/2015

If you are used to classic Bond movies you may find this film hard to swallow. Is it Daniel Craig's fault - no he's doing the best he can with a script that gives him no cool one liners or that comic wit so apparent in other Bond films. The girls aren't there either, nor those amazing gadgets, and worse still Bond loses his cool and gets angry - he never loses his cool, not Ian Flemings Bond anyway.

I wonder what Fleming would think of it? Maybe it's time to drop the Bond tag.
