No Time to Die (2021) Review

November 1, 2021 Ben

You have to admire the ability of the people behind the James Bond franchise to keep the movies “fresh.” At least somewhat, as Daniel Craig’s last outing as the iconic British hero manages to deliver a lot of the familiar … Continue reading No Time to Die (2021) Review

Month of Bond: Why James Bond is a codename and not one man!

October 31, 2015October 31, 2015 Ben

I’m going to pre-cursor this theory with a simple statement: This is my opinion of the series and not necessarily the intended view. It isn’t an original view, I’d heard it many times before and dismissed it as quickly but as … Continue reading Month of Bond: Why James Bond is a codename and not one man!

Month of Bond: Ranking every Bond film!

October 31, 2015 Ben

The final day of Month of Bond and fittingly I have finally seen them all! So all that is left is to put them in order, from worst to the best. Suitably there is a decent mix of the different Bond’s … Continue reading Month of Bond: Ranking every Bond film!

Month of Bond: Spectre (2015) Review

October 31, 2015 Ben

Finally, Daniel Craig gets a proper Bond film. From Casino Royale through to the end of Skyfall, it felt like it was a long, drawn-out (but very entertaining) process to rediscover, rebuild and “reboot” Bond. The classic tropes and traditions had … Continue reading Month of Bond: Spectre (2015) Review

Month of Bond: (00)7 Best Bond Girls

October 30, 2015 Ben

It takes more than just being sexy to be a Bond Girl. It seems just appearing as a female in a Bond film is enough to make you a Bond Girl but for me an effective Bond Girl matches Bond. She … Continue reading Month of Bond: (00)7 Best Bond Girls

Month of Bond: Skyfall (2012) Re-View

October 29, 2015 Ben

Skyfall is a great film but you could argue that isn’t a great Bond film. Casino Royale put the James Bond franchise back on track, Quantum of Solace managed to end that chapter in the Bond series so it should … Continue reading Month of Bond: Skyfall (2012) Re-View

Month of Bond: Quantum of Solace (2008) Review

October 29, 2015 Ben

Quantum of Solace is an example of why you don’t rush movies in a franchise – particularly the Bond franchise. Casino Royale was an effective “reboot” for the character and set the series on a more serous, gritty and Jason Bourne … Continue reading Month of Bond: Quantum of Solace (2008) Review

Month of Bond: Casino Royale (2006) Review

October 29, 2015 Ben

Jason Bourne has a lot to answer for. After the disaster of Die Another Day and the success of the Bourne series, a grittier, realistic and much more story focused version of the spy genre, James Bond would have to respond … Continue reading Month of Bond: Casino Royale (2006) Review

Month of Bond: A Tribute to Q

October 24, 2015October 23, 2015 Ben

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

Month of Bond: Is Writing’s on a Wall a classic Bond song?

October 2, 2015 Ben

Since Goldfinger, the Bond song has become as important a feature of a Bond film as the director, cast, villain and overall story. Some of the songs have become more famous than the films they supported, for both positive and negative … Continue reading Month of Bond: Is Writing’s on a Wall a classic Bond song?
