On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) – So I’ve come to this one… George Lazenby. This is the one and only time George Lazenby played James Bond. Other to be in multiple movies, even Timothy Dalton got two (Dalton was actually offered this movie but turned it down as he felt he was much too young … Continue reading →

Licence to Kill (1989) – Timothy Dalton is an actor who I generally rather enjoy, particularly his wonderfully wicked turn in Edgar Wright’s Hot Fuzz. He is, of course, most famous for playing everyone’s favorite superspy James Bond. He only did it twice, in The Living Daylights and this film. He was actually the second … Continue reading →

Goldfinger (1964) – The idea of masculinity is one that is constantly being redefined as culture changes through the ages. But men of the world, you have been outdone, outmatched, and outclassed. One man has defined manhood for the 20th century and beyond: Sean Connery as Agent 007, James Bond. You have a ruggedly handsome … Continue reading →

The Adventures of Tintin (2011) – So nothing about the trailer for this movie really grabbed me and said “JAKE, SEE THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW.” In fact most of it sort of indicated “wait for disc,” but there were some things that led me to believe there could be more to it than meets the … Continue reading →

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) – So in the month since I’ve seen the latter, I’ve still not quite made up my mind whose film version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I prefer: Niels Arden Oplev or David Fincher. The Swedish Dragon Tattoo is the only film of Oplev’s I’ve ever … Continue reading →

Cowboys & Aliens (2011) – It has cowboys… fighting aliens… and James Bond and Han Solo are in it. What more do you need to know? Well, it’s not quite as awesome as all that. It is still an entertaining movie but it’s not the early-George-Lucas-style classic we all hoped it can be. Nor does … Continue reading →

Casino Royale (2006) — Just about everything a Bond movie is supposed to be. Action, wit, intrigue, fine-ass women, a trippy title sequence, and a suave badass lead.
