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 …
Sean Connery is back after his brief retirement from playing James Bond. In Sean Connery fashion as Bond, he’s back to disrespecting women in Diamonds Are Forever. He walks up to a woman on the beach, yanks her bikini top off, and wraps it around her neck, forcing her to provide information. Ugh…it’s definitely time …
