The Giant James Bond Rewatch – GoldenEye (1995)
GoldenEye is an important Bond film. It ended the six-year hiatus since License to Kill, during which Timothy Dalton quit and Alfred R. Broccoli stepped down as producer. It introduced Pierce Brosnan in his first outing as James Bond. And it was the basis for an extremely popular video game, one which I have fond memories…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – License to Kill (1989)
The 1980s were a weird time. Children’s cartoons became both commercial and dark. A group of singing raisins released an album. MTV actually showed music videos. Jazzercise was a thing. And they made a Bond film that sucked all the joy out of the franchise. What I dislike about License to Kill Let me start…

Movie Review – Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
TL;DR Shang Chi was enjoyable, but not great. Visually appealing, whimsical, and has plenty of humor without being forced. For me, the most sensible way to grade an MCU movie is against the other MCU movies. Generally speaking, Shang Chi falls in the middle third for me. Not the cream of the MCU crop, but…

Movie Review – Candyman
Where do I start? I’ve been staring at my screen for about an hour trying to come up with a review. I asked the man in charge (my brother, the CEO/Founder) if I could simply put “Meh.” That’s about it. He’d like a little more, so here it goes. Tony Todd as the Candyman. There…

Movie Review – Escape Room: Tournament of Champions
If you enjoyed the first Escape Room—I did—then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this sequel because it’s really a continuation of the first movie. Both movies are so short the two of them together add up to one properly long movie. I wish I had rewatched the first Escape Room prior to seeing the follow-up. But,…

Movie Review – The Forever Purge
Color me surprised. I was dreading this movie for months. The first Purge movie was pretty good. I liked the new concept and it hadn’t been done before. Then they killed it for me. Every Purge movie after the first went downhill. They redeemed themselves with The Forever Purge. I actually enjoyed it. They definitely…

Movie Review – The Boss Baby: Family Business
—
The Boss Baby: Family Business is, as you probably expected, meant for young children. There’s enough wild antics to appeal to pre-schoolers and two, simple to follow, plots. One about brotherhood. The other about self-confidence. Both of which are good lessons for pre-teens. This is far from Pixar-good, but it’s not bad. It pretty much…

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969)
—
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is a strange entry in the Bond series. Sean Connery left the series partly due to money disputes (only to return for a bigger salary in Diamonds Are Forever). This is the only film in which George Lazenby plays Bond. There’s no title song during the opening sequence, making it the…
