“Whoever she was, I must have scared the living daylights out of her.” So that’s it for Roger Moore. He had a good run, but after how old he looked in A View to a Kill, I’m just glad he didn’t come back for another one. The Living Daylights is a great film, with a […]
Read More James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – The Living Daylights“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. Not necessarily completely good, but memorable. The starts off with a good opening sequence with Bond in Siberia investigating an Agents death, and then being […]
Read More James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – A View to a Kill“Mr. Bond is indeed of a very rare breed… soon to be made extinct.” Octopussy is an odd one. It’s partly serious, with the USSR side of things, and at the same time it’s absurd with 007 dressing up as a clown. But I can’t help but love it. I was actually surprised to find […]
Read More James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Octopussy“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. And what a change For Your Eyes Only is. It starts off in a way similar to other Moore era Bond films with a slightly silly moment; […]
Read More James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – For Your Eyes Only“Mr. Bond, you persist in defying my efforts to provide an amusing death for you.” Moonraker has somewhat of a reputation. It’s famous for being the one in which Bond went to space. Many people write it off as terrible because they think it’s only around because Star Wars was popular. Well this is a completely different thing […]
Read More James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Moonraker“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 […]
Read More James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – The Spy Who Loved Me“You see, Mr Bond, like all great artists I want to create one indisputable masterpiece: the death of 007” Well let’s focus on the positive, Live and Let Die was good, right? How about that bit where Bond fought Tee Hee? That was awesome, wasn’t it? Or the bit where the bus went under the […]
Read More James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – The Man with the Golden Gun“What are you? Some kinda doomsday machine boy?” Here it is; the Roger Moore era of James Bond films. And while it’s not every bodies favourite run of films, at least we start on a high with the awesome, action packed and original Bond film that is Live and Let Die. Roger Moore plays Bond in a […]
Read More James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Live and Let Die“Well, one of us smells like a tart’s handkerchief.” Ah, so here we are. We’ve reached, in my opinion, one of the weaker entries in the Bond franchise. After On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, and George Lazenby’s departure from the series, United Artists wanted Sean Connery back. In fact they wanted him back so much that […]
Read More James Bond Blu-ray Reviews – Diamonds Are Forever“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 […]
