Search: Starring Pierce Brosnan

Did it meet my expectations? They weren't high, but no, not really.

Banua-Simon offers a strong critique of the situation, and particularly the housing crisis. But he also keeps in plenty of, often light-hearted, personal detail about his Uncle Henry, who acts as a guide of sorts to the island.

Brosnan emotes furiously, using both his acting faces.

[Brosnan is] put through his paces by Maori director Lee Tamahori and comes out of it stirred, but not shaken.

There's a very clear fondness here for the subject matter.

Courtroom drama dressed up to look like something more.

While clearly aimed at fans of Bond, there's a lot to sell this to those who are unfamiliar to the franchise.

Williams’ work is heavily invested in the ambiguities of coincidence...In literature, where there is room to play, this is one thing, but when condensed in a film it starts to feel like clumsy contrivance.

Where Goldeneye stands out is when it challenges the typical Bondian blueprint.

A suspenseful, intelligent thriller.

All the ingredients are here and yet an essential spark is missing.

Interestingly, it eschews the use of drab colour filters to let us know when we’re witnessing flashbacks to the conflict. These are obvious enough, and the fact that they take place in bright sunlight makes them much more visibly a part of the real world.

Nearly 30 years later and John Mackenzie’s classic is still the yard-stick for any new entry into the genre.

You ache for Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn to show them how this is done

The feel of this film is sumptuous - convincingly recreated mid-century sets, an evocative soundtrack, gorgeous gowns for the women and smart suits for the guys.

Rarely has the title of a film summed it up so well - or so completely.

It is hard not to be entertained.

Mamma Mia! is a roller coaster of emotion, careering colourfully from the blue waters of the Adriatic.

Williams is wonderful in this Granma Poppins role, except he's sugar-free, funnier and doesn't let you forget that he's Daniel inside, screaming to be a father again.

The feeling of making it up as they go along is well done

This is an entertaining time passer which should keep the kids happy.

Its vision of the western frontier is a bleak one, full of grim railroad towns and the dusty bones of unsuccessful settlers, a place where even missionaries cannot be trusted.

A movie with this kind of pedigree should not be a mess. And yet it is. Horribly so.

It is a measure of Brosnan's understated qualities as an actor that you never think of James Bond.

James Bond is back with a vengeance.
