The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) Review

Best Picture Project
After the current awards season I have decided to start a new project on Let’s Go To The Movies . . .
Not just to watch and review the winners of the Best Picture Oscar since it began but to watch and review all of the nominees as well. This is a very big task. For the recent years or maybe even from the 90s I might have already seen them.
When I have completed all from one year I will then bring it together and do a big post on that year. If I feel the right film won, which I enjoyed and most importantly which ones I hated. A couple stick out in my mind already thinking about that.
You can keep track of the progress with the link provided above, I will link to the reviews and add if I have seen the film. I am not going to set a time frame for this huge task but if anyone has any tips that would be appreciated, especially if a film is then available on UK Netflix or Sky On Demand, please let me know!
Top 10 – Films I Caught Up With in 2014
I always like to put together a top 10 list of films I have managed to catch up with and watch during 2014 that I had never seen before. Below you will see that I really was slacking with some of these films! Especially the Before Trilogy which I totally fell in love with.
It Happened One Night (1934) – Review
Clark Gable really is something else. This film has that groundbreaking scene of a woman’s leg in what is an amazing scene. Just showing that women can do things which men cannot! Gable gets plenty of good lines in this and the chemistry is fantastic!
2012 Challenges
Instead of setting some New Year’s resolutions for the blog or movie watching I have decided to set some 2012 challenges in regards to film watching!
- Try to review each film I see at the cinema – now this wasn’t far off in 2011 but must do better!
- Watch the films I have on DVD that I have never actually seen
- Focus on old films with the year ending in 2 . . . 2002, 1992, 1982 etc
- Form top 10 lists with regards to the above challenge
- Catch up on films I missed in 2011
- Make more use of my LOVEFiLM subscription
- See more than 57 films at the cinema (2011’s total)
What about anyone else, any 2012 challenges?
LOVEFiLM on PS3
I have been a subscriber of LOVEFiLM since August last year and to be honest wasted my money for over a year due to the fact that I still have the DVD from August last year! I just never got round to posting it back, yes that does sound extremely lazy!
Now though LOVEFiLM is available on your PS3 on the network, which means you can watch certain films directly onto your TV from the PS3. Which I think sounds brilliant really! You have to be on an unlimited or games tariff to be able to take advantage of using your PS3.
I can see myself catching up with films I have wanted to watch as the selection of genre’s on the PS3 looks pretty good to me ranging from old classics to quite new releases. Also the fact I have the ability to play blu ray’s now also will encourage me to get my moneys worth from LOVEFiLM.
