  • I've been playing a bit of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the PS2 lately - just unlocked the desert portion of the game. While not my favorite GTA, it's arguably the best game in the entire PS2 library.

  • Tomorrow Never Dies. This one is interesting to watch today. If you've been sitting under a rock this past year, I would say the idea of a corrupt media giant creating headlines for ratings isn't so much a stretch anymore. Tomorrow Never Dies …

  • I can definitely agree that the scene makes sense - I just feel that Moore doesn't really pull it off as convincingly as Connery or even Dalton or Craig would've. I think Lewis Gilbert was correct when he said Roger was trying to do a Connery imitat…
  • The Man With The Golden Gun. I used to have this one in my bottom three. Over time, I have come to appreciate Lee's performance as Scaramanga. There are some decent scenes, but like Moonraker and A View To A Kill, scenes that should be memorable …
  • The Hateful Eight. I enjoyed this one more than Django Unchained. Definitely one of Tarantino's better films in my opinion.

  • Quantum Of Solace. I like this one - every time I watch it I like it more and more. I think the Bond/Bourne comparisons aren't completely accurate. A lot of the action is framed and shot beautifully in QOS. Love the fight with Slate - there's …
  • Having watched Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace back to back, I think the biggest problem with the film is that it follows CR. Following the best Bond film since 1969 it's going to be difficult for any film. One of the things that stuck out to…
  • Casino Royale. Still as fresh as the first time I've watched it on opening night. Craig electrifies. It was a stroke if genius to open the film with Craig's version of Dent's execution. It's as if the film gods literally said that Casino Royale w…
  • The cool thing about those VHS tapes is that the majority are still shrink wrapped and sealed. Picked them up for five bucks at a garage sale last summer. Lana Wood's autograph I won off of a Bond site a long time ago. Probably the most interesting …
  • These images make me want to to dig out my collection.
  • Not my favorite Bond, but he was Bond when I was young. I am not going to lie, when Craig was first announced I was definitely disappointed to say the least. I like Brosnan and I enjoy a lot of his movies. It's just a shame that some of his Bond fil…
  • Hard to Kill If you like the idea of Steven Seagal coming out of a coma and seeking revenge on everyone who has screwed him over, this movie's for you. I'm not going to lie, I've always been a fan of his earlier efforts. While not cinematically g…

  • Having watched Doctor No last night, I can easily say that there is never been a roll casted better than Sean Connery as James Bond. I definitely don't think the film would have been a success without him in the leading role. His introduction in the…
  • Dr. No It says something about a film when you can literally say there is something iconic about every scene. Connery is on fire. His introduction in the casino is single-handedly the greatest scene in the entire Bond canon. The pace is tight and…

  • A View To A Kill. Similarly to Moonraker, many good moments in this one are ruined by bits of "humor." Although in this case, I feel that it's not as frequent as in Moonraker. A View To A Kill benefits from having one of the better scores and…
  • Watching AVTAK. It's hilarious how many people Bond puts in danger while chasing Mayday from the Eiffel Tower.
  • There's no news...like bad news.
  • Moonraker. Having just watched YOLT, I was in the mood for another big-spectacle Bond adventure. I sort of got it. Ken Adam is the unsung hero of the series. His set designs are ALWAYS impressive. Barry delivers another great soundtrack as well. …
