Bond at 50: Quantum of Solace
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released… When Quantum Of Solace was first released, myself and a friend (Ron Brunwin) were writing a 007 stage spoof which would premiere not long afterwards. We wanted a few topical and up-to-date gags about the film to include at the end of the [...]
Skyfall: First Impressions
Given the familiarity with which we all hold the other James Bond movies, it would be wrong to throw a review of Skyfall into our Bond at 50 series without a few hours reflection on the episode. So before publishing a full review, I thought it best to get some things out into the open. [...]
Bond at 50: Casino Royale
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released! There’s no denying that Die Another Day was a huge box office success. Unfortunately though it pretty much played out as an over the top in joke, kind of like the Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back of the Bond franchise. But without [...]
Bond at 50: Die Another Day
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… There’s a line uttered, in extreme exasperation, by Steve Coogan as his most famous creation Alan Partridge, when the character spends an entire episode of I’m Alan Partridge trying to watch [...]
Bond at 50: The World Is Not Enough
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… Before we start, here’s a little quiz for you. A Bond brain teaser. Can you spot the deliberate mistake in this piece of dialogue? JAMES BOND: What do I need to [...]
Red Dwarf: Fathers and Suns
The second episode of the series, Fathers and Suns, continues the trend of episode one. While not up to the classic status of past greats such as Gunmen of the Apocalypse or Back to Reality, it seems as if some of the old magic is returning to the franchise. While Rimmer oversees the installation of [...]
Red Dwarf: In Trepidation of a Trojan
I have to admit to a certain level of trepidation when I sat down on Thursday to watch the first episode of a new series of Red Dwarf. This was partly because previous series had not delivered to expectations. Series XIII had its moments of comedy and was refreshed by the return of the crew [...]
Bond at 50: Tomorrow Never Dies
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… New Years Eve 1997. A young (compared to now) 18-year old Bond fan ignores all of the exciting New Year party invites he didn’t get in favour of heading to the [...]
Bond at 50: GoldenEye
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… Licence To Kill marked the end of an era for the James Bond movies. The world changed, both politically and within the world of film. Perhaps worst of all, an entire [...]
Bond at 50: Licence to Kill
We continue our mission to review every James Bond film ever released as we make our way towards the release of Skyfall in October… I’m going to be upfront and honest right here. I’m a Timothy Dalton fan. Not one of those Johnny-Come-Lately Dalton fans who have rediscovered him on the back of Daniel Craig’s [...]
