  • I just want to say that I absolutely love @BeatlesSansEarmuffs' reviews and find them a thoroughly balanced and intelligent analysis of the period in which the movies were released. Keep them coming.

  • I can't recall all the Fleming details but didn't he just come up with the names Napoleon Solo and April Dancer, and most of his ideas had to be dropped due to their similarity to the Bond series? All I recall is his involvement in U.N.C.L.E. did…

  • I don't buy the Becks as Solo story. Becks has no acting credentials, plus his voice isn't suited for the movies. More unfounded showbiz drivel for the masses it would seem.

  • Thanks for getting back to me, @Gunbarrels007. It's my understanding that there were a few more cuts made to Dr No. Does your copy include: 1) Dr. No's line I'm sure she will amuse the guards was considered too sexually suggestive, and has been r…

  • I hope so too, @DarthDimi. At least we now know that the studio is moving ahead with the project. My guess is that the story will involve new characters whilst jump cutting to Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender's progress to the Space Jockey's plan…

  • Good review, @pachazo. You echo my sentiments exactly on ST2. From what I've read on the net ST3 will be directed by someone different and they're currently drawing up a list of potential suitors.

  • Transcendence scribe Jack Paglen is in negotiations to write the sequel to Fox and Ridley Scott's Prometheus. Prometheus, written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof, was one of the most highly anticipated films of 2012. It followed a group of scienti…

  • Interesting, @Gunbarrels007. Could you tell me what's on the uncut version of Dr. No?
    in Goldeneye Workprint Comment by bondsum June 2013
  • Correct me if I'm wrong, @PanchitoPistoles, but a Bond score has never been nominated for an Oscar until SF, so shouldn't that read: the first 'Best Original Score' Oscar nomination for the franchise in 50 years? EDIT: I see that Marvin Hamlisch …

  • Thank you, @MrBond. I have Helfenstain's Making of OHMSS and that is a must have for any fan of that great movie. The thing I liked about that particular book was not only the overview of the film's complex shooting but the abundance of information …

  • I'm still waiting for someone to give us a review of Charles Helfenstain's The Making of The Living Daylights. I'm surprised that no Daltonites have bought a copy!!

  • You're welcome, @Bounine. The only thing I'll say is that bad word of mouth and poor critical reviews did nothing to dampen The Transformers box office takings. After all, Transformers: Dark of the Moon got 36% Rotten and still managed to pull in…

  • Indeed @Sam, but I'm not sure whether I should take any notice of the critics on this particular movie. As far as I'm concerned they don't always get it right when reviewing escapist blockbuster fare. Empire has given it a 4/5 so it can't be all tha…

  • There's the Charles Vine trilogy of movies starring Tom Adams: Licensed to Kill (The Second Best Secret Agent in the Whole Wide World) 1962; Where the Bullets Fly (1966); O.K. Yevtushenko (1968). Not great films but they have their charm.
    in Best James Bond spoofs Comment by bondsum June 2013
  • From what I've read so far critics are finding much to be praised, but if only there had been more humor in the story line. It seems to be averaging 4 out of 5 stars. Even Empire have given it 4, The Telegraph 3 out of 5. http://www.empireonline.…

  • Interesting viewpoint from Radio Times, @Sam. So according to Steven Moffat he said recently: “I haven't a clue who it is, we've barely started.” But I do find that rather strange as surely Moffat would have been aware that Smith might be hanging…
