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 …
In the movie, The Living Daylights, James Bond was smiling. Laughing. And going on carnival rides. And when he got to the hotel with a beautiful female, he asked for two rooms. Surely, this James Bond is an imposter! This is my fifteenth James Bond movie. It’s 1987 and there’s a new actor playing Bond–Timothy …
When I read that Aaron Taylor-Johnson could be the next James Bond, I looked him up right away. Really?! When Barbara Broccoli said they were reinventing James Bond, I didn’t expect to see Daniel Craig’s younger prettier looking twin. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is your typical looking hunk…looks a little McConaughey-ish. I don’t see him as a …

There are two things about this movie, A View to a Kill, that got me excited about watching it—Grace Jones is in it, and it’s Roger Moore’s last Bond movie. It’s not that I have anything against Roger Moore as Bond, but I’m excited to see a new James Bond actor after watching seven movies …
I wasn’t looking forward to this movie because of the title–Octopussy. Then I watched the Prime Video trailer. There were men in military uniforms and flying missiles. And the movie’s over two hours long! As a non-Bond fan, I try to go into each movie positively, but a two-hour war movie, plus the title…ugh. Surprisingly, …
For Your Eyes Only is my first Bond movie in 2023. It’s also my 12th Bond movie. Have I turned into a James Bond fan? Not yet, but it’s fun watching to see if Bond will ever transform from a one dimensional, lust filled guy to someone who has emotional depth and respects women. It’s …
It’s almost Christmas and I decided to watch Moonraker instead of a Christmas movie. In Bond’s first scene he’s kissing a woman on a private jet. Suddenly she pulls a gun on him, a man pops out of the cockpit and a fight ensues. Bond pushes the man out of the plane, and guess who …
I found myself laughing during this movie more than any of the other Bond movies. Not that it’s a comedy, but some of the fight scenes are funny. Roger Moore’s Bond continues to bring a silly sense of humor to the role in The Spy Who Loved Me. And is Bond finally evolving? He only …
Memories from the 70s/80s rushed my brain when I saw the actor from Fantasy Island in this movie. And I guess the Southern Sheriff from the last movie was such a hit they brought him back for a little humor in this movie. Here are my thoughts on James Bond in movie #9, The Man …
I was all pumped up for this movie, Live and Let Die, because there’s a new James Bond. The opening song had me singing with a fake mic, but I didn’t know what to make of James Bond going to Harlem. Just because there’s a new Bond doesn’t mean he’s changed his ways…halfway through the …
