  • I have seen TLD and LTK pretty low on a few lists now. I can see the arguments too - that Timothy Dalton does not have quite the charisma of a leading man as Connery or Moore. I can also see the case of the villains being weak, Kara being a bit us…

  • I have been working in a little Black Forest Smoked Bacon into a lot of my dishes lately, and what a revelation! My wife and I made spinach pizza with bacon, garlic, and broccolini sauteed together, served with white wine - delicious. I also incor…
  • Depends which Connery films we're talking about. Overall Moore has the win both on timing and lines over the course of his films. But if we factor DAF in the mix, I would argue, that film alone had the best lines of the series, and Connery's deliv…

  • Did Calvin do the Skyfall review for IGN? It sounded like his voice.
  • Sure, action is never obligatory to a good Bond film, just look at FRWL as a good example. On the other hand, a well crafted, pushing-the-limits action sequence can really elevate a Bond film, as the last 30 minutes of OHMSS proves. OHMSS would st…
  • Very sorry for your loss Murdock. Thoughts and sympathies to you and may you find peace during this tough time.

  • I happen to like the FYEO soundtrack :( I think side B of the soundtrack; tracks like "Cortina" and "Goodbye, Countess/No Head for Heights/Dining Alone" work really nicely with the film. It's certainly several notches above Legrand's score in m…
  • Me and FRWL had a bit of falling out on my last Bondathon, but as time passes and the more I had time to sit with it, it's rocketed back up to the top of my rankings What I like about this film is the game of cat and mouse played throughout the f…

  • Have to disagree on Berenice. While perhaps the waste was that she didn't get enough screen time, what they did get out of her was surprisingly good.
  • What a brilliant way to drum up excitement for Bond 24! From the writer and director of Skyfall. This is GREAT news for Bond 24, in that the Logan/Mendes partnership will be really strong going into production. Now if they could only talk Dalton i…
  • I don't think Blofeld was every properly incarnated in the earlier films. Anthony Dawson was by far the best interpretation, and the mystery of him was set-up brilliantly. Pleasance was a little too crazed, Savalas was a little too casual and indi…

  • Great review @Pierce2Daniel. I must say that Roger Moore looks great in Spy and MR. The hair is kept up but not slick in the way Connery's was. Connery's style reflected the times: more of the classic rat-pack look. But I think Rog's hair looks …
