Movie Review – No Time to Die

October 2, 2021

I’ve already gone on record here at RunPee about how I have enjoyed Daniel Craig’s tenure as Bond, how I’ve liked the story arc throughout the films, and how much I’ve been looking forward to seeing No Time To Die. I may as well tell you at the start about my disappointment… there wasn’t any! […]

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

October 1, 2021

Of all the things that Tomorrow Never Dies has going for it something that, perhaps, doesn’t spring immediately to mind is the sheer weight of originality. This is the first film in the franchise to have no relationship with anything written by Ian Fleming outside of the character names. Licence To Kill was a virtual pick and mix […]

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Quantum of Solace (2008)

September 29, 2021

I think it’s fair to say that Quantum Of Solace came in for a fair bit of stick. To be brutally frank it started getting stick before it had even been seen. The cat started peeping out of the bag in September 2007 as people noticed that Sony had registered the domain name quantumofsolacemovie.com. When the title […]

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Spectre (2015)

September 29, 2021

Spectre was the last Bond film released in theaters. It’s hard to believe it’s been six years. For those wanting a refresher before No Time To Die, I recommend going back to Casino Royale (2006) and watching all four Daniel Craig films. Be sure to pay attention to Mr. White. He becomes a crucial character […]

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Skyfall (2012)

September 23, 2021

I’m doing this review last of all despite it being my first pick… Skyfall is definitely my favourite Bond film, just edging out Casino Royale. I’ll admit that in this regard I’m at odds with the voters of IMDb.com… they have Casino Royale at 8.0/10 with Skyfall and Goldfinger tying for second on 7.7/10. I haven’t hidden my […]

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – Die Another Day (2002)

September 21, 2021

Die Another Day has one of my favorite Bond openings. Bond fails to win the day and gets captured. We’ve never seen Bond held captive for so long before. (The opening credits compress time and show us some of the torture and interrogation Bond endures.) At that point in my life, I don’t think I […]

James Bond, Mr. White, Dr. Madeleine Swann, and No Time To Die

September 20, 2021

Dr. Madeleine Swann is a major character in the Bond franchise, set to reappear in No Time to Die. In the trailer, Oberhauser warns Bond, “When her secret finds its way out, it will be the death of you.” Who is this beautiful girl with a deadly secret? What is her relationship to Bond? And […]

The Giant James Bond Rewatch – License to Kill (1989)

September 9, 2021

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 […]

Classic Movie Rewatch – Raiders Of The Lost Ark after 40 years

June 28, 2021

What links a toilet cistern, fingering a cheese casserole, a Honda Civic rolling down a gravel path, whacking a pile of leather jackets with a baseball bat, and R2-D2? They’re all sound effects used during the production of Raiders Of The Lost Ark. The toilet cistern is the sound of the lid of the Ark of […]
