  • In another attempt to observe the Bond films in the light of my latest rewatches, I gave each of the films ratings from 1 to 5 for ten different categories: - James Bond performance - Main Bond girl - Main villain(s) - Baddie sidekicks - Allies…

  • THE TORTURE CHAMBER OF DR. SADISM (1967) a.k.a. Die Schlangengrube und das Pendel In the year Karin Dor appeared in YOLT as Helga Brandt, she also appeared in this West German horror flick about a count "Legula" who seeks to live eternally b…

  • Before I give my views on Craig as Bond, permit me to first fully acknowledge that I think he is a terrific actor. He's 100% believable in almost every scene I've seen him in, in and outside this wonderful series. However, a terrific actor doesn'…
  • George's Bond divides the fanbase, that's for sure, he has his fans but also quite a few detractors too. I think our next reveal will also be slighty controversial, because at #4 comes in: DANIEL CRAIG Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in Casino …
  • At the risk of repeating myself, I am and have always been a Lazenby defender. He was the first to make Bond human, yet without losing that style and elegance. Something perfected later on only by Tim imo. That final scene remains one of, if not …
  • I love me some good synth, I think my very favourite scores all have at least some synth in them somewhere. Doesn't Barry also use synth in TB, btw?
  • Time to discuss our next reveal, as we dive into our top 5, with at #5: GEORGE LAZENBY Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) The only Bond to get married, the only Bond to end a film in tears, the only Bo…

  • RIP Mr Caroff, we are forever grateful for your contribution to 007.

  • Very impressive :) But one thing struck me as odd, for GE there's a track titled "Bond Arrives in Moscow", but Bond never goes there in GE (or any other Bond film so far), it's supposed to be St. Petersburg.

  • I am rather nostalgic towards Pierce's Bond as he was Bond when I was a wee lad at the time when I became a fan. Personally, I think he is excellent at being a good-looking, fun-loving, action and humour-oriented 007. I'd say the more dramatic mo…
  • PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST (2006) I loved the first one, but decided together with my other half to revisit #2 and #3 this time. Dead Man's Chest is probably my favourite of the bunch though, leaving out the few sappy elements of th…
  • Starting off the week with our first EON Bond discussion, at #6: PIERCE BROSNAN Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 in GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999), Die Another Day (2002). Pierce ended up in only…

  • Four last movies I saw: LE CERVEAU (1969) aka The Brain Jean-Paul Belmondo, Bourvil, Eli Wallach and David Niven have tremendous fun in this eurocaper with a groovy score. Also worth mentioning is the beautiful Silvia Monti, and Niven's pet che…
