anthony hopkins Like Christopher Walken and Jack Nicholson, Anthony Hopkins is one of those few actors with a very unique pattern of speech. Hopkins€™ signature oration is in full swing here. And much to the delight of Barclays Bank, it makes complete bull-crap sound pretty darn enjoyable. Big this, big that, big something else; what this all has to do with Hopkins, I don€™t really know (other than it all alluding to the fact that he is one greedy s.o.b who only wants a€.what€™s the word?....fat, paycheck.) They did a similar thing with Samuel L. Jackson saying that he €œsaid€ something, whilst walking in a field. But somehow, Hopkins seems a fitting ambassador for Barclays.

Part critic-part film maker, I have been living and breathing film ever since seeing 'Superman' at the tender age of five. Never one to mince my words, I believe in the honest and emotional reaction to film, rather than being arty or self important just for cred. Despite this, you will always hear me say the same thing - "its all opinion, so watch it and make your own." Follow me @iamBradWilliams
