Maybe it's because I could relate to him as someone who looked just like me but I've absolutely loved him since I was about six or seven. I've read every story in the comic series, I've seen the 90's animated series multiple times, I played the Wii game based on this movie when it came out with my brother and my dad. And most notably I teamed up with my dad to dress up as the inseparable duo of Tintin and Captain Haddock for Halloween one year. So although I can't remember I'm almost certain I went with my dad to see The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn at the cinema.  Again, not know...

UK Release Date: 30 September 2021 Certification: 12A Director: Cary Joji Fukunaga Cast: Ana De Armas, Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Lashana Lynch, Rami Malek, Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Jeffrey Wright Rating: 84%  The name's Bond. James Bond. Review:  No Time to Die is the final instalment of Daniel Craig's James Bond. It was the first movie to see major postponements due to the pandemic but it was worth the wait. The movie is not only it's own unique story but it's a brilliant sendoff to his portrayal of the iconic character.  Daniel Craig is brilliant on his final outing as James Bond. At times his age maybe spills through as he's not getting any younger but he does a great job. He can act emotively, he pulls off the cheesier lines and when an eventual new Bond is chosen they will have big shoes to fill. Although, No Time to Die is as much Madeleine's film as it is Bond's. I didn't enjoy Léa Seydoux in Spectre , or the movie in gen...

UK Release Date: 27 September 2002 Certification: 15 Director: Sam Mendes Cast: Liam Aiken, Dylan Baker, Daniel Craig, Tom Hanks, Tyler Hoechlin, Jude Law, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Paul Newman Rating: 84% A state of spiritual ruin. Review: It is fair to say that Road To Perdition wasn't on my radar until I heard about it on a podcast. I am glad I did. The cast in Road To Perdition is excellent. Tom Hanks is brilliant as ever. I felt that having Tom Hanks play a gangster ( Michael Sullivan) was a masterstroke and a unique role in the Hank's movies I have seen. The casting really worked for me. The up and coming (at the time) Daniel Craig and Jude Law both portrayed creepy, sinister and unnerving characters. Both characters are the type of people you love to hate,  whenever something bad happens to them you have to smile a little. And veteran actor Paul Newman delivers a brilliant performance as John Rooney, a conflicted but compelling character in an impossible p...
