It is a well-stated misconception that Desmond Llewelyn was in every Bond film up to and including The World is Not Enough. It is testament to how much of an impact he makes this once trivial character that he doesn’t actually … Continue reading Month of Bond: A Tribute to Q
I don’t like Roger Moore’s Bond movies. This month I have repeatedly slated his films, complaining about how cheesy, silly and 70s they feel. Add to that the fact that Moore clearly outstays his welcome and that Connery actually comes back … Continue reading Month of Bond: Ranking the Moore Movies
How do you follow a classic film like the first Back to the Future? The simple answer is that you go bigger, bolder and (slightly) more complicated. Not just one travel through time but three. A 30 year future, an 80s … Continue reading Back to the Future Part II (1989) Review
The moment Sean Connery steps back into the shoes of James Bond, you realise how different (and much worse) Roger Moore’s version of the character actually is.

What order you place them … Continue reading Month of Bond: For Your Eyes Only (1981) Review
3 of the Best vs 3 of the Worst is exactly what it sounds like – 3 of the best examples of either an actor, film series, genre, etc. versus 3 of the worst. It’s also an opportunity for you … Continue reading Month of Bond: 3 of the Best vs. 3 of the Worst: Bond songs
Moonraker is everything that is wrong with Roger Moore’s Bond. It has silly in abundance, some bizarre set-pieces, a strange story for one of the best Bond henchman and then the worst finale that has ever involved the super-spy. It is … Continue reading Month of Bond: Moonraker (1979) Review
A lot of what makes Roger Moore’s Bond so iconic is featured in The Spy Who Loved Me. A very cool and original car, a henchman with a special feature and a villain who has a crazy plan to practically destroy … Continue reading Month of Bond: The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) Review
