Some more posters for ATS. Interesting how they used a picture of Brosnan from DAD.

Interesting posters there. The first one reminds me of the many "pre"-posters for The World Is Not Enough.

I like the ad campaign for the film, if you're going to do headshots for your poster it's nice to make them actually look good.

Definitely. The very first poster is the best of them all, IMO.

Saw the film Saturday-much more enjoyable than "Laws of Attraction". A few Bondish elements-there's a Junkanoo scene in it. I was looking for the urinating dog and or an islander in a fuzzy Superman costume. It occurs to me that, if Pierce hadn't insisted on longer breaks between Bond films, we might be talking about
our thoughts after seeing Bond 21.

I saw it on Saturday night and I enjoyed it very much. I found it a very funny movie indeed.

Wasn't it, "we let people know how we think, so....."

Yes very funny.

It was a very lightweight movie which really asked you to believe a lot. Stealing the damned diamond really didn't look that hard and if there was one guard actually sitting in the room itself, then it wouldn't have gone anywhere.

The to-ing and fro-ing were all there to see, and the heart ache was all a bit fluffy.

TCA is by far the better movie, not one for DVD, and Hayek was just gorgeous beyond belief. I wasn't bothered by her being in DAD when the stories were floating around but on that evidence............ :)

The movie started in Germany only last week and I went to see it last Friday. Nothing great, not too bad, though. Am average movie, 5 out of 10.

Thoughts:

- Brosnan has becomme fatter. In addition, he should consider a body shave :)
- Why was Selma Hayek in the movie, except for showing her boobs into the camera :) She was not needed for the plot at all.
- I really though this was a more in-depth movie like "Thomas Crown", but except for the short scene in the end when Harrelson explains how he stole the dimaond, the movie was only about french kissing and enjoying life.
- I don't like Woody Harrelson. :).
- The death of that gangster boss, where did Harrelson and that other agent suddenly come from?
- I don't like Brosnan's way to kiss.
- The locations were great! Bond needs to go back to the Carribean!
- For Brett Ratner this movie was nothing to raise his position in Hollywood
- The remote control for the car - hommage to Tomorrow Never Dies? :)
- Some good dialogues, but most of them lengthy and boring
- In general the amazing and awesome locations helped to get the movie a better rating. Without those locales this movie would have been a total waste of time :)

As said, 5 out of 10.

One interesting note is that in the latest issue of Esquire, Don Cheadle mentions that "After the Sunset is one of those parts that I have got to get out of the business of, which is 'There's nothing here-can you come do something? We need you to make this good.' I need the ones that are already good..."

Hm.

Finally got to see this today.

Good fun! Nothing more, nothing less.

I have to say though, for a movie that underperformed in the US, the cinema was the most full I've seen it for ages [I caught Elektra on Friday night, which opened on Thursday with After The Sunset and there wouldn't have been any more than 10 people in the cinema].

Perhaps it fell apart a tad at the end, but I can't pinpoint where. Probably the tacked-on ending with Don Cheadle's character. Fortunately, the twist afterward made up for it.

Highlights? The fishing sequence got a huge laugh in the cinema, and I have to agree; when Brosnan goes to hurl the Esky, I was in stitches. Also, the closing heist and, of course, Brosnan and Harrelson in bed.

I actually wish there were more of these fun pictures around - - bit of action, bit of romance, bit of humour. Good fun.

Now roll on The Topkapi Affair!

I really enjoyed this movie too. Thought it was well worth a movie ticket. I'm not sure if I'll buy the DVD now however, maybe rent it though.

A fun non-Bond Brosnan film. :) :)

This is one movie I will avoid. Nothing to do with Brosnan, I just don't like Woody H.

Can't say. I ignored it when it was released.
