This is movie #25, No Time To Die. Shouldn’t confetti be raining from the ceiling and party horns going off?! I started this James Bond movie watching journey in the summer of 2022 and at last I’ve now watched all twenty-five James Bond films! For a non-Bond fan to watch all films, whew what a …
This write-up on my 24th Bond movie, Spectre, will be short and sweet. I feel like I’ve said all I have to say about the Daniel Craig era even though I still have one Bond movie left before my Bond movie-watching journey ends. This movie took me back to the earlier Bond days. The plot …
Skyfall is Daniel Craig’s third Bond film. And it’s my 23rd. I have two more to go before my Bond movie-watching journey ends. When I started this journey I thought a new Bond actor would be chosen to replace Daniel Craig before I finished. I thought I’d know by now if my prediction (for the …
My Bond movie-watching journey is nearly over so I’ve been dragging out my final few James Bond films, including the writing of this piece. I watched the movie on September 30th, and I’m just now publishing this piece. So far, the Daniel Craig era is different for sure. He’s a big change from all the …
Blond hair. Piercing blue eyes. It didn’t feel like I was watching a James Bond movie. But it wasn’t just his looks. All the action was there. Fight scenes were there. But the scripted James Bond persona was gone. This is a reinvented Bond. This is my 21st James Bond movie. For a non Bond …
A non-Bond fan watches all 25 James Bond movies. I finished movie #20, Die Another Day. The Pierce Brosnan Bond era is now behind me. He did four Bond films, and this was the best of his four. If you’re a James Bond fan, you should take that with a grain of salt because when …
A non-Bond fan watches all 25 James Bond movies. The title of this movie, The World is Not Enough, sounds more like a daytime soap opera (As The World Turns) than a James Bond movie. Ha. I started out watching it on the treadmill because I wasn’t sure I’d like it and needed a distraction …
A non-Bond fan watches all 25 James Bond movies. This is movie #18, Tomorrow Never Dies. I saw a big shift in Bond’s behavior toward women and a change in the female characters in the last movie, Goldeneye. This means there’s been a change in the Bond franchise itself. A woman, Barbara Broccoli, is now …
A non-Bond fan watches all 25 James Bond movies. Finally, I made it to the Pierce Brosnan era…GoldenEye, Brosnan’s first Bond film. It’s my 17th Bond movie since I started this James Bond movie-watching journey in July 2022. Two reasons I was looking forward to GoldenEye: 1) A woman, Barbara Broccoli, is now a full-time …
This movie, Licence to Kill, made me decide that Timothy Dalton is my favorite Bond. I never had a favorite James Bond before and, why would I since I’m not a Bond fan? And although I’m ambivalent towards him (because of his maltreatment towards women), Sean Connery is my second favorite, especially in his first …
