  • At the risk of sounding like a broken record I'm really interested in hearing Tracks 2 and 11 if you could PM these to me? Looking forward to getting the soundtrack on October 1st
  • Just been channel surfing in the UK and I see Sky Movies Premiere and a number of their other movie channels have a half hour Bond 25 Announcement programme pencilled in for Thursday 25 April at 1pm. Need proof? Check out the pic of my TV I just too…
  • Amazing top three Golden Gun ;-)

  • Started at 4pm on the Friday, finished about midnight into the Monday morning.

  • Went to Tesco to get the DVD this morning, watching it now. It's a DVD rom. Immediately the theatrical trailer plays and then the following is featured on the main menu: Video Vlogs - Behind the scenes in Austria; Director Sam Mendes; The Superca…
  • Chart history made! First Bond theme in a 23 film history of 53 years and this is the first Bond No.1! Congratulations Sam Smith!
  • So, two weeks after starting my SPECTRE Countdown Bondathon (in an entirely random order) and I finish where I started, with another of the weakest Bond films, in fact, I still think Diamonds are Forever is the weakest James Bond film. There is a…
  • So for the 22nd film under review in my Bondathon, it's GoldenEye. I thought I had the top half of my list all sorted by the time I got to this film but on rewatch, I need to find a place for GoldenEye near the top. This is one of those films in…
  • The 21st film in my Bondathon is Casino Royale. I remember back in 2006 coming out of the cinema feeling confused and a little underwhelmed. Where was Pierce Brosnan? Where were all the gadgets and where was the fantasy? It is still so surprisin…
  • Quantum of Solace is the next film under review in my Bondathon. Talk about a disappointment. Since the film's release in 2008 I've been fairly indifferent towards Craig's second Bond film but I've always been mildly impressed by it and considered …
  • Getting very close to the end of my Bondathon now and film 19 under review is Skyfall. Now this is still fairly new to speak about as it's only 3 years old in the series but I remember coming out of the cinema after seeing this feeling extremely sa…
  • Film 18 in my SPECTRE countdown Bondathon is Moonraker...and this is as crazy and out of this world as Bond gets. The film is a very mixed bag. The first half of the film is largely very good and hits a lot of the right notes despite the many doub…
  • Onto film 17 in the Bondathon and... Thunderball. Here is another film that I'm torn on. For the most part, I don't understand the adoration from the fans for this one. Following the enormous success of Goldfinger, the demand for Thunderball in 1…
  • So The World is not Enough is the 16th film under review in my Bondathon. Where to start.... The Gunbarrel is unique in that it opens up on an immediate facial shot of Bond and, as far as I'm aware, this is the first time that he is seen wearing sp…
  • So Film 15 in my Bondathon was Roger Moore's 5th film, FYEO. I've always held this film in fairly high regard and I still stand by the fact that this is Moore's most down to earth, perfectly balanced performance as Bond. This is also a film where …
  • Ok so we're still none the wiser... makes the announcement tomorrow intriguing.
  • James Bond Radio are currently reporting this... http://pitchfork.com/news/61090-radiohead-appear-in-new-studio-photos/ Could this be the answer to the biggest questions on everyone's lips at the moment...?
  • So my SPECTRE countdown Bondathon is back with film no.14, THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS and from the outset, this is a terrifically entertaining Bond film. Dalton's reveal in close up mid mission is one of the best Bond introductions, we get to see Bond wo…

  • So film no.13 in my random, SPECTRE countdown Bondathon was The Spy who Loved Me. I've always enjoyed this film and this viewing was no exception. Moore's performance as Bond was just fine in LALD and TMWTGG but it's on a different level here. He…
  • I think I was stating my bias for Dalton as Bond regardless of the film, particularly as I'm trying to approach each film this time around with new eyes to see if any of my previous opinions changed.
  • That's brilliant ! \:D/
  • So Licence to Kill... I love this film. I'm biased because Dalton gives what I believe to be the quintessential interpretation of Fleming's protagonist and LTK marks one of the strongest entries in the series for many reasons. Highlights include…
  • So, film 11 in my Bondathon is the much maligned A View to A Kill and actually, I enjoyed this a lot more than usual this viewing. Yes, Moore is a little too old to convince us that he is Fleming's 007 but he is a charming Bond and he still puts in…
  • So, film no.10 in my Bondathon was Goldfinger. This is one film that I tend to go up and down on in this series. I hear all the Goldfinger lovers saying that this is the ultimate Bond film and in cinematic terms they are probably right; the formul…
  • So the 8th film in my SPECTRE countdown Bondathon is You only live Twice. I'm going to be more brief in my thoughts on this one. Contrary to what I've said in the past, Connery isn't completely disinterested for the whole of this film - that mai…
  • So... Live and Let Die. I've always been a defender of this film, remarking that it's one of the better Moore entries in the series... until I watched it after a film as brilliant as FRWL. I strongly believe that the Bond series was directionless …
