James Bond Rewatch – Goldfinger (1965)
Jill, Rob, and I are reviewing the entire James Bond series in celebration and anticipation of Daniel Craig’s final Bond outing No Time to Die. When Jill, Rob, and I did a draft to divide up the Bond reviews, this movie was my first choice. I picked last and was surprised it was still available. …

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Dr. No (1962)
—
Looking back, it’s almost impossible to imagine that Albert R Broccoli and Harry Saltzman didn’t know that, with Dr. No, they were establishing a film franchise to become the second longest-running in the world. At fifty-nine years the only thing that’s outlasted it is Godzilla, which began in 1954 and is still going. When you…

James Bond Rewatch – You Only Live Twice (1967)
The fifth entry in the Bond series is an unexpected surprise. For me, this is the sleeper hit of the series so far. It’s a movie you never hear people talk about it, yet it’s a lot of fun. This was a lot more entertaining to me than Thunderball. Bond goes to Japan this time…

James Bond Rewatch – Live and Let Die (1973)
—
Roger Moore is my favorite James Bond, and Live & Let Die is my favorite Bond film. Do you remember your 1st Bond film in the theater? (Mine was 1979’s Moonraker, which has SPACE in it, and thus I loved it.) So it’s natural that Moore was ‘my’ Bond. Moore also did the most Bond…

Movie Franchise Rewatch Analysis – Star Trek: Nemesis
—
I haven’t finished my Star Trek franchise rewatch yet, but I’m pretty sure this is the worst stinker in the 13 movie run. I was pleasantly surprised by most of The Final Frontier being better than I remembered. And while I need to rewatch Into Darkness to see how it fared over time in comparison,…

Movie Review – Those Who Wish Me Dead
—
Have you ever had your friend tell you a story that they were excited about but sounds bland to you and they end with, “I don’t do it justice, it’s better if you were there”? This is that kind of movie. It’s not bad — it’s just bland. You will experience touching moments here and…

Is Star Trek V: The Final Frontier the worst Trek movie?
TL;DR — I remembered The Final Frontier as terrible back in 1989 (and the plot/climax really is), but to my surprise it has a lot of lovely moments, decent humor, and good characterizations between the Big Three. It had its heart in the right place. The actors went all in, and the topic itself, if…

Primer for Guardians of the Galaxy
There are some spoilers here, but this is intended as a primer for the first 30 minutes of Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 1, that can at times be a little confusing. First, you need to have seen the after credit scene for Thor 2: The Dark World. That’s where Sif and Volstagg – members…

Movie Review – Wrath of Man
—
TL;DR If you like Jason Statham, and/or the director Guy Ritchie, then you’re bound to enjoy this movie. I don’t think Wrath of Man will go down for either as their best work, but neither disappoints. There’s a lot to like in this movie, but at the same time it’s hard to watch because of…
