Diamonds Are Forever (1971) – After the dark times of the George Lazenby era (which totaled exactly one Bond film), Sean Connery makes a triumphant return to the role which he will forever define. Actually the producers were willing to have Lazenby back for whatever reason, but he opted not to return as he felt … Continue reading →

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) – In the opening song of the film Carly Simon sings “nobody does it better…” Funny, I can think of four other guys who are better at the whole James Bond thing. This is the first Roger Moore flick of my cable-inspired James Bond movie marathon. When forced to rank … Continue reading →

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 →

You Only Live Twice (1967) – As I have said before, it is an undisputed fact that Sean Connery is the best James Bond. However, that doesn’t mean that the Sean Connery Bond movies were always the best Bond movies. The bond movies really run the gamut from truly excellent (2006’s Casino Royale) to quite … 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 Rock (1996) — Maybe it’s because I saw it when I was 11 and have always reverted to that mindset, but I fucking love this movie. It hits every note that an action movie should hit. [Plus it has conspiracy theories, which I was really into as a kid]. Beyond the stars (Nic Cage, … Continue reading →

Gamer (2009) — So my family and I went to see this. My dad went because my mom and I wanted to see it. My mom went because she had it confused with the upcoming Bruce Willis film Surrogates [she realized her mistake when a trailer for Surrogates ran before the movie]. So those were … Continue reading →

The Ugly Truth (2009) — While there was nothing particularly original about this movie I can think of worse ways to spend a couple hours. From here on out I choose to itemize my review. 1. The film’s strength is in its R rating. Not that vulgarity in itself is a way to make a … Continue reading →
