	Action	The 4th Angel	2001	5	Jeremy Irons
	Action	Die Another Day	2002	4	Pierce Brosnan Halle Berry	Better than I thought it would be. James Bond is often too simple. This is one of the better though. Well made, lots of effects, but of course an entirely not believable story as always. But entertaining and a real actionfilm.
