Decent debut
6 February 2000
Playing Bond for the first time, Roger Moore makes a decent debut as James Bond. Moore was already an established actor when offered the role but it would take until "The Spy who Loved Me" before he was able to perfect the acting (the second best Bond movie).

Live and Let Die is not bad but it never really takes of. The cast is uneven, from very good Solitaire to very bad Rosie Carver to ridiculous Sheriff Pepper. Comment suggesting that this movie is racist are hard to understand. If the crook comes from Harlem and an Island inhabited by coloured persons, what else is to expect.

The story is odd for a Bond movie, he should help the world get rid of master villains (like Goldfinger)not get involved in stopping drug trafficking. Doest the Secret Service reallu do these things. As i said a decent debut. But things would get worse; the next film being "The Man with the Golden Gun"

Vertigo (1958)
10/10
Power of Infatuation
13 December 1999
A masterpiece for sure.

James Stewart plays retired police officer Scotty who suffers from vertigo after having chased a guy on a roof.

Finding time difficult to spend, Scotty takes up an offer from an old friend to tail his wife Madeleine who is suicide-prone.

From first glance Scotty is infatuated with the woman, with disastrous consequences.

For those of you who have not seen this movie, I shall not spoil two very memorable hours.

Let is be said however that Vertigo will go down in history as THE movie on a man´s ominous infatuation with a woman.The audience immediately understands that here there will not be a happy end. Like a Greek drama, Scotty is pushed towards the cliff, there being no turning back.

Don´t ask me how but there is a surrealistic touch to this film that keeps the audience in suspense from the start (the music is wonderful).

If you were to see only one more film in your life, Vertigo is it.

Cat People (1982)
Erotic nightmare
6 April 1999
I find it hard to believe that I am first to comment on this film.

Cat people should go down in history as one of the best erotic thrillers ever made.

Nastascha Kinski plays young Irena who starts working at a zoo. Little does she know, and how should she still being a virgin, that she is confined by destiny to remain human only as long as she makes love with her next of kin.

Oliver, the curator at the zoo, falls in love with Irena and the nightmare begins since Irenas brother Paul is jealous to be the sole object of Irenas devotion.

What definitely brings to the suspense of Cat People is the film music by Giorgio Moroder.

Larger-than-life erotic fantasy, Cat People is it.

As sweet as it gets
25 February 1999
It is impossible not to like this film even though you may want to choke at the cuteness.

This film is worth seeing especially for the beautiful music. The plot is not very advanced however and I fail to see cinematic need to bring in the Nazis.

If you want to feel happy, then watch Sound of Music.

Not funny any more
9 February 1999
Bo has some animal attraction to her that makes up for poor cinematic performance.

After having endured the mental torture of watching " Ghosts can't do it " that cannot be said any more.

Bo should have ended her career after "TEN" which was a funny movie, although the credits must go to Dudley Moore.
