2nd time around they get everything right. Based off maybe the best novel, it’s my favorite Bond film. Red Grant is a rare credible villain.

#140RVW - 140 character reviews
140 character review: When I started this site that’s all I did – movie reviews that could fit on Twitter. With the exception of a few short blasts, everything since 2014 has been a full-size review, and I've gone back to expand on some of the earlier reviews. If they're here, I haven't updated them yet...
#140RVW: Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)
Scatalogical humor nearly derails what is a very clever Bond spoof. (It does torpedo the sequels) May have ruined Thunderball, but worth it.

#140RVW: Mulholland Drive (2001)
Another exercise in watching paint dry with maddening Lynch, who prefers long, unbroken art shots of quirky people over clarity & narrative.

#140RVW: Fantastic Four (2005)
Best thing about this is that it nails the lighthearted tone of the comic. Whether that’s also the worst thing is up to you. Very enjoyable.
[box] Moira’s take: Fantastic. Chris Evans took the role quite well. Transformation of Victor Von Doom was amazing. Effects were fabulous. Great movie for all.[/box]

#140RVW: This Is Spinal Tap (1984)
The only people who don’t consider Reiner’s mock doc one louder than all other movies are the rock stars who looked really silly after this.
