anything that's got Ewan McGreggor in it has to be good


I suspect that Angels&Demons will test that statement even more than the new Star Wars films did ;-)


I'd have to join Annasfield on The Spy Who Loved Me - the Union Jack Parachute moment is a pretty special, as is the speed boat chase from The World Is Not Enough. But then the opening sequence became such a big part of the Bond Cocktail that it's to be expected that they've put together a few good 'uns.


I think I'd like to add the opening sequence in Gladiator, which is pretty decent. Immerses the viewer into the period in quick-time, and great action.


On a less ballistic note, the deserted street and quiet score that open Breakfast at Tiffany's always make me smile.

Predictably,considering my moniker, I'll go for the opening to Goodfellas: Ray Liotta 'For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a gangster' followed by Tony Bennet's 'Rag to Riches'. I think Joe Pesci's psychotic Tommy DiSimone was the template for many 'hardmen' in films afterwards including Kingsley's. I don't think I had ever seen anyone that genuinely scary in a film before. Nearest thing to that was Paul Betthany in Gangster no 1, which was a very underrated film.

      Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

      Niko the Plumber.

      A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.

      JP Plastering - John McCann - Recommended Plasterer

      By steveboro · Posted

      Used John to plaster the hallway ceiling in my house, he arrived on time and did the job to a very high standard. He tidied up after himself (my wife was super impressed) . The price was as agreed and I could not recommend John enough. I would 100% use his skills again.
