Moonraker is probably the most divisive film in the Bond series. Some see it as the series at its worst because the adventure took Bond into space, whilst others see it as a silly, fun time. Bond is assigned the mission to find out what happened to a space shuttle that been stolen when on route to […]
The White Lotus Review
The White Lotus, the new limited series from Mike White (Enlightened), is definitely a “your mileage may vary” kind of series. That isn’t to say that it’s not good – that there isn’t a lot to enjoy about it – or that I’m not about to write a positive review (I am), but I am […]

Any movie of his from the last 20 years automatically comes with the question […]
