The Terminal: Limited Edition – DVD Review
The Terminal marks the third time director Steven Spielberg and actor Tom Hanks have teamed up on the big screen – Saving Private Ryan and Catch Me if You Can were their previous collaborations. Tom Hanks plays Viktor Navorski, a native of the make believe nation of Krakoshiza, who travels to New York to fulfill a promise. But there’s a small problem.
While Navorski’s plane was flying to New York his homeland underwent a military coup. Unbeknownst to him, the rebellion in essence acted as a no admittance clause into the United States for one Viktor Navorski.

R0BTRAIN’s Badass Cinema: Total Bond-age, Part 2: Fruition
“I’m beginning to like you Mr. Bond.”
“Call me James.”
After the overwhelming success his first two outings, James Bond was a world wide phenomenon. Dr. No and From Russia with Love set a standard for the franchise to look up to from that point on.

While the first two adventures were big money makers, the producing team needed to take Bond off the chart to keep the series going indefinitely. The third Bond film needed to be bigger than the other two, but not lose the elements of the Bond formula that made them successful. To find a proper story for this adventure, Broccoli and Saltzman would once again go back to the well with the books of Ian Fleming. Their choice was a book entitled Goldfinger.The result was the most enduring Bond adventure and perhaps one of the greatest action films of all time.
