GoldenEye, a review by Dragonfire

Goldeneye



The effortlessly suave and sophisticated Pierce Brosnan makes his acclaimed debut as Agent 007 in this rip-roaring espionage thriller featuring the most eye-popping opening sequence yet! When an MI6 agent (Sean Bean) turns rogue and plans world domination with a terrifying satellite-borne weapon, Bond must pursue his former ally to Cuba, Monte Carlo, Switzerland and even Russia, all whilst dodging a sexy, deadly femme fatale (Famke Janssen) who will stop at nothing to put the 'squeeze' on the intrepid spy!

My Thoughts

I did get a longer review posted on Epinions.

Goldeneye

I hadn't realized it had been this long since I last posted about one of the Bond movies.  Sorry about that.

Three Stooges: A Pain in the Pullman, a review by addicted2dvd

The Three Stooges: A Pain in the Pullman
The stooges are small time actors traveling by train to an engagement. Along with their pet monkey, they manage to spoil the trip for quite a few of the other passengers including the conductor and a big movie star.

My Thoughts:
Kind of an average episode. I did like the addition of the monkey.

Plot:Columbo movies: Prescription: Murder and Ransom for a Dead Man. Columbo's first season features legendary guest stars like Robert Culp, Ray Milland, Eddie Albert, Suzanne Pleshette, Don Ameche, Leslie Nielsen and Roddy McDowall. It's no mystery why Columbo: The Complete First Season is the DVD set crime fans have been waiting for!

Columbo
1.01 Prescription: Murder (1968-02-20)
Writer: Richard Levinson (Screenwriter), William Link (Screenwriter), Richard Levinson (Original Material By), William Link (Original Material By)
Director: Richard Irving
Cast: Peter Falk (Lt. Columbo), Gene Barry (Dr. Ray Flemming), Katherine Justice (Joan Hudson), William Windom (Burt Gordon), Nina Foch (Carol Flemming), Virginia Gregg (Miss Petrie), Andrea King (Cynthia Gordon), Susanne Benton (The Blonde), Ena Hartman (Nurse), Sherry Boucher (Air Hostess), Anthony James (Tommy)

This first episode of Columbo wasn't original thought of as a pilot of a series. It was a standalone TV movie based on a play. But Peter Falk's Columbo was so good, that he got a series based on this movie three years later.
Generally you already see the Columbo we know in the series. The major difference is, that Columbo seemed better groomed here. But his other trademarks are already here. Even his antagonist recognizes his personality traits already. Pretending to be more stupid than he his to trick him up.
