GoldenEye (1995)

GoldenEye (1995) – There was a bit of downtime after 1989’s Licence to Kill. The production company had some issues and there ended up being a six year gap before the next movie. Timothy Dalton opted not to return to the role of James Bond (which sucks somewhat because as I have said before, he … Continue reading

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)

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.

The Ghost Writer (2010)

The Ghost Writer (2010) — Ewan McGregor stars as an unnamed ghost writer hired to help on the memoirs of a former British Prime Minister (played by Pierce Brosnan, based on Tony Blair) who is being investigated for war crimes in connection to the rendition of four British citizens suspected of terror ties (if you’re … Continue reading
