Going way back to early Bond, there was Barry Nelson in Casino Royale with Peter Lorre as the villain. With characters like Lorre, many of the ones these days come across as cardboard constructs in comparison. This might be the case in the 2006 film where the villains did make out a little “ordinary” in comparison. Do recommend the latter, although it does stretch out a little in the end parts.
Tombstone is a western in the epic style, the tension and stunning cast are sure to keep you in until the end. Recommended.
Tonight on FTA there is Inherent Vice, which is sure to be a hoot – re the lively dialog:

Well Mornin’ Sam, like a bad luck planet in today’s horoscope, here’s the old hippie-hating mad dog himself in the flesh: Lieutenant Detective Christian F. “Bigfoot” Bjornsen. SAG member, John Wayne walk, flat top of Flintstone proportions and that evil, little shit-twinkle in his eye that says Civil Rights Violations.

Streaming the first few episodes of Arrow, not bad. There’s enough in the novelty and plot to hold interest, only issue is the TV forty minute formula. Same with Gotham, although in many ways the latter is a better show.
