I agree — Julia Stiles is gorgeous. I know you didn’t say that in your review but it was implied in the picture.
If only I had had the chance to meet her…

The only good part about the film. She wasn’t in it much.

Not nearly enough. Would I be correct in thinking that your picture of her isn’t actually from the film?
I think I liked the film more than you did. But I agree with you completely about the action. If it had had good, watchable action I might have liked it — as it is I’m just neutral.

I just googled for some pics. Her pic is from this link . Looking at the page now, I doubt it would be from the movie.

I actually thought the first part has reasonably well focused (i.e. Up until he tracked down the location of the CIA people). After that though it did feel rather aimless, I agree. As Matt was saying, the character kind of lost control of the situation and just ended up running away from people.

And I was told they never make mistakes.

They never make mistakes, no, but that doesn’t preclude them from being aimless. We’ve all been there. You’ve got something important to do, but you’d rather surf the net, or get shot and have a brutal car chase, or something.

How come this review doesnt come up in the ‘film’ section but only on the main page? Think I found a glitch in your system Tom…
Or possibly its just all Andrews fault. I like those odds.

You must be looking at a different ‘film’ section to me then.
I suspect you should try looking under the letter ‘T’.

Ooooooo.. alphabetical order, puuuurrty. But so much less convenient that arranged-by-date. Anyhoo now I’m just being antagonistic.

Really? So if you’re coming along to this site for the first time, and you want to find Die Another Day, you’ll work it out by somehow guessing what date we reviewed it? :)

Oh, I’m sorry. I didnt realise you were expecting walk-by’s… Give me the stats then, is it not just ‘the usuals’ after all?

Every now and then, someone does a search and ends up here. I doubt they stay. But someone might some time. I live in hope.
There is of course the far far more obvious case that one of us might make a new friend who’s really into pop culture and show them the site.
Besides, Jackson’s always railing against date-based archiving. As far as I can see, even if the only people that read it are the 15 or so I can think of, you’re the only one with a weird desire for date-based archiving. :)

I’m just trying to rile you up, sorry. I’ll stop now. Yay for alphabetical order and such.
