Whenever Shakespeare in Love is brought up, the inevitable complaint is, But Saving Private Ryan should have won that year. No. The Thin Red Line should have won that year.

To Be or Not to Be (1942)

Even though I have never (yet) set foot in America, this is one of my favourite seasonal films. Melinda Dillon has rarely received her due as an actress - she's a natural in front of the camera - and she is great here. Darren McGavin gives a fantastic comic performance as well (his interactions...

I liked this show a lot when I saw it some months ago. As Robert says, great performances from a well-cast, er, cast...; I was really impressed by Juliette Lewis as Natalie the "Elder" (saw her and her band The Licks way back in 2006 here in Limerick...good times). Really hope it gets a second...

Which one? I reckon you are referring to "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters", which is used brilliantly for the finale of the film - but Moby's "New Dawn Fades" is also used: it is a version of a Joy Division song, and it is the music used when Hanna is tailing McCauley prior to their...

INT: COFFEE SHOP “CINEFILE”: Ah…thanks for agreeing to have a cup of coffee with me, Mr. Mann. MANN: It’s fine… “CINEFILE”: Seven years since Blackhat, Public Enemies in 2009, Miami Vice before that…The Miami Vice shoot as tough as they say? MANN: You lookin’ to become a film critic...

"Well, it proves one thing, Mr Hooper..."

So, you would find Jane's dad, coming right out of the blue with a "Gotcha!"-style revenge killing of Walt, as a dramatically satisfying way of wrapping up this incredible modern tragedy? For me, the ending must revolve around the Walt-Jesse relationship.

It seems unlikely that Jane's father will somehow learn about Walt's involvement in her death. How would he meet Jesse (assuming he is, in fact, still alive - Jane's dad that is)? Jesse will want to handle that situation himself probably. I figure the SD card(s) for Hank's camcorder could be a...

With the Nazis now knowing about Jesse's connection to Andrea and Brock, I think they might be the ones who are actually kidnapped to force a cook (from Jesse, or Jesse and Walt). Walt might feel that saving this particular family might make up for losing his own and serve as atonement for...

I don't think Walt is sending the Todd gang after Jesse. Right after that phone call from Jesse - "I'm gonna get you where you live" - Walt looks momentarily baffled before getting that look on his face... He has worked out (as only he can) that Hank has got to Jesse.

Hey Walt, the ocean called...

Didn't one episode have a scene where The Big Heat is on television? Glenn Ford's wife got killed in that. Car bomb. Hmm...

By that logic why would all powerful Gus need to steal it? He had all the resources he had, he doesn't need someone else's poison. He gets his own. I guess the logic that Jesse won' t realise this. Walt has underestimated Jesse from day one. Jesse has shown evidence of extreme cleverness...

Try this: At least two times in the show so far Jesse has shown he is capable of, shall we say, "lateral" thinking. He has come up with brilliant ideas even when Walt was floundering. One was the magnet - I cannot recall the other one right now. Could this be laying the groundwork for Jesse to...
