August 6, 2021August 1, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 3 Comments

A "live watch" review of MOONRAKER. A gorgeous looking film which went bigger than the previous films by going to the only place left - space!

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 10: THE SPY WHO LOVED ME

August 3, 2021July 27, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 3 Comments

For many THE SPY WHO LOVED ME is THE Bond film. It has the locations, the epic scale, a great henchan, and THAT white Lotus...

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 09: THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN

July 30, 2021July 27, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 4 Comments

Moore's second Bond is memorable, colourful and has some outstanding sequences. Yet for some it is low on their list of favourites. It's THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN.

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 08: LIVE AND LET DIE

July 27, 2021July 27, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 3 Comments

A new Bond! Roger Moore arrives in the first adventure of the 1970s. LIVE AND LET DIE is a great introduction to the world of Bond.

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 05: YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE

July 16, 2021October 22, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 4 Comments

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 04: THUNDERBALL

July 13, 2021October 22, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 5 Comments

No Time To Die arrives in September 2021 – so I'm challenging myself to look back at every Bond film before then.  This time, let's visit Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang…

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 03: GOLDFINGER

July 9, 2021October 22, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 4 Comments
