BOND RETROSPECTIVE 15: THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS

August 22, 2021August 24, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 3 Comments

Dalton arrives as Bond in a fan favourite movie which introduced a grittier Cold War story. A fresh new direction for a franchise that was looking tired: THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS.

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 14: A VIEW TO A KILL

August 19, 2021August 20, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 2 Comments

Moore's last Bond film is big on spectacle, and has magnificent villains, but in some places looks a little tired. A VIEW TO A KILL.

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 13: OCTOPUSSY

August 13, 2021August 14, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 3 Comments

The Bond film that contains some great action and tension, as well as the interesting contrast between the heat of India and the Cold War in Berlin. OCTOPUSSY...

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 12: FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

August 10, 2021August 1, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 4 Comments

Back down to earth, this movie which many forget - even though it is crammed full of memorable performances, action, humour and fun. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 11: MOONRAKER

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

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

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 06: ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE

July 20, 2021October 22, 2021 ~ TGemm ~ 2 Comments

With Connery gone, the producers went back to one of the stronger books. Let's take a look at a film which just gets more and more love as the years pass: ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.

BOND RETROSPECTIVE 05: YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE

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

This time, I look at the one where Bond turns Japanese, and Nancy Sinatra seduces us with the theme song.

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…
