James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Tomorrow Never Dies

“There’s no news, like bad news.” Pierce Brosnan’s Bond film go in order of how good they are, getting worse the longer they go on. Goldeneye is his best, Die Another Day is his worst, and that means Tomorrow Never Dies is his second best. Well that’s what most people think, in my opinion TND is at least as good as Goldeneye. First […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Licence to Kill

“Then you have my resignation, sir!” Licence to Kill was Timothy Dalton’s second and last time as Bond and it carried on the harder edged bond that had started with The Living Daylights. Luckily for Dalton, his last film is not only good, but it’s one of the best Bond films of all time. The film starts with […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – A View to a Kill

“Intuitive improvisation is the secret of genius.” A View to a Kill was Roger Moore’s last film playing the role of Bond, and it’s a memorable one to go out on.

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – For Your Eyes Only

“Before setting off on revenge, you first dig two graves.” After the ludicrous space escapades of the underrated Moonraker most people thought it was time for a change in the Bond films.

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – The Spy Who Loved Me

“Observe, Mr. Bond, the instruments of Armageddon“ After the disappointment that was The Man With The Golden Gun people were understandably worried about the follow up film; The Spy Who Loved Me. TSWLM was the first film in the series to not involve producer Harry Saltzman, and there was also difficulty securing a director. Eventually EON Productions went with You […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

“We have all the time in the world.” Poor George Lazenby. He certainly drew the short straw when it comes to actors portraying Bond; he only got one film. But luckily for him, it’s a good’un. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a great movie, and Lazenby does the best he can portraying Bond in a more […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Thunderball

“I think he got the point.” What do you think the highest grossing Bond film is? It’s probably Skyfall isn’t it? Well, yes, but Thunderball comes a very close second. When adjusted for inflation, and until Skyfall this was the highest grossing Bond film of all time. And it’s easy to see why; Thunderball is […]

James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – From Russia With Love

“Once more unto the breach, dear friends.” Well, this is my first review in this blog’s series of James Bond reviews and what a great, if somewhat underrated film to start on. From Russia With Love is loved by James Bond fans; it’s a true cold war spy thriller, but among casual viewers it might get lost […]

Flight (2012) Review

[I’ll try to keep this review reasonably spoiler free, but beware!] Flight first caught my attention last year, when its first trailer was released. The trailer was one of the best movie trailers I’d seen for quite some time and I think I may have held off from watching the film because I believed it […]
