Casting news for Bond 24:

Spectre

Directed: Sam Mendes
Screenplay: John Logan, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Ian Fleming(characters and original novels)
Starring: Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Rory Kinnear, Christoph Waltz as Oberhauser, Dave Bautista as Mr. Hinx, Monica Bellucci as Lucia Sciarra, Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann and Andrew Scott as Denbigh.

Synopsis

A cryptic message from Bond's past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.

Release date: 6th November 2015

Spectre and waltz are obviously the good news but the choice for the james bond girls is weird. Belucci is too old and seydoux isn t that pretty. Lea seydoux is mostly known for her amazing lesbian scenes in the french movie la vie d adele (somehow translated to blue is the warmest color in english). The scene is so explicit that it s hard to not qualify it as porn. Realisator of the movie even said to lea seydoux:"if you want to do her in real life, it shouldn t be a problem". Simply put, realisator was a pervert who had a blast with two girls ready to do anything in front of the camera

Was just going to post that; teaser looks insane. Now that's how you hype a movie; I'm sure Tom Hardy will do a great job in the lead role.

I have an image of my head of what a shitty version of what the trailer would be. But they didn't go with the typical look or music...wow

There is nothing like classic music for madness. They got that right.
Kudos for the ones who actually recognized Nicholas Hoult.

How did you guys like Gone Girl?

 

[goldb]

These look like pretty good feel good movies to get away from all the summer's blockbusters.

Has anyone seen Kite (2014) is it good?

 

[kkck]

How did you guys like Gone Girl?

I think it is very enjoyable. Its only flaw IMO is that it gets too long. It also has Neil patrick harris not playing barney.

Has anyone seen Kite (2014) is it good?

Can't remember much besides it being pretty bad.

Seen Gone Girl last night, very good as expected. Pike was a bit on the skinny side, but didn't like how somehow every female character was lean, fit and looked nice.

Spoiler: Gone Girl spoiler

What a nice twist, that he would have rather killed her anyway at the very end.

Slept into Nightcrawler... have to see it again today as my friend told me how much I've missed. :/

Has anyone seen Kite (2014) is it good?

If it's anywhere like the anime then it should be.

The Hobbit: battle of the 5 armies. It's better than what I expected. Peter Jackson had almost no material left in the book and he still managed to do a long movie that wasn't boring. It's not a great movie but still enjoyable. The opening scene with Smaug was overwhelming to say the least. I know he was dying quite quickly but still I didn't expect him to be killed before the title of the movie appeared ... The built up to the war is quite long. The war itself is still spectacular but it's no longer doing the same effect as the first time we saw such a battle made by P. Jackson (Helm's deep).

EXODUS: Strong contender for worst movie of the year. It has no redeeming quality. I just don't see how it is possible to like this movie. It's slow, boring and take itself seriously to the utmost limit. This movie was made by Ridley Scott grieving Tony Scott and it shows. It is worst than Noah in every aspect.

Among the movies I saw this year, the 4 worst: American Hustle, Sin city 2, Exodus and Riddick.
