Skyfall review

Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

Goldeneye review

Pierce Brosnan makes his debut as Bond in a furious chase to recover a stolen stealth helicopter and a lethal space weapon known as GoldenEye. This was the first Bond film that I saw in a movie theater, so it certainly holds a special place in my heart. Another reason in likely because of the Read the full article…

Thor Dark World review

Thor must set upon his most dangerous and personal journey yet. 2013 was the last time we saw Jane Foster and the last time we had any update about what was going on with Loki or Asgard. It’s a damn crime that we had to wait 4 years to get more real Thor content!

Avengers Age of Ultron review

Marvel Studios unleashes the epic follow-up to Marvel’s The Avengers. Even Amazon didn’t care about this film enough to write a serious synopsis, it just had too much going on in it and suffered from to what I affectionally call “cockroach villains”. They’re everywhere, have no personality and no one gives a shit when they Read the full article…

Ant-Man review

Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, to plan and pull off a heist that will save the world in Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man. Paul Rudd, amirite? So dreamy! This movie marks the first Read the full article…

The World Is Not Enough review

Bond takes position as bodyguard of British oil tycoon’s daughter after a deadly mishap at MI6. From my memory, this is the first bond film to have no real nudity in title sequence. Shocking, yet not unexpected, the 90’s were awash with nudity hysteria, apparently a single nipple was to blame for many violent attacks Read the full article…

Independence Day review

Arrival review

When mysterious spacecraft land across the globe, expert translator Louise Banks is sent to decipher their intent. As tensions mount, Banks discovers the aliens’ true purpose and, to avert global war, takes a chance that could threaten humanity.

Casino Royale review

Bond takes on arch criminal Le Chiffre, their poker game extending from the gaming tables to the realm of international terror networks and stock market manipulation. Clueless, witless and a damn boring man. This was Daniel Craig’s first attempt with the role and it was a bitter disappointment. How much of a disappointment? At one Read the full article…

Petes Dragon review

When a mysterious 10-year-old boy turns up who claims to live in the woods with a giant green dragon, a forest ranger and an 11-year-old girl set out to learn the truth about him.

Eat Stop Eat review

Lose weight by fasting The authors have taken the above basic premise and stretched it to be a 78 page book. There’s some references that I didn’t bother to look up, I was only reading this to see what exactly their arguments were for fasting, which took about half of the book to get to Read the full article…

Quantum Of Solace review

Picking up an hour after the end of CASINO ROYALE, Bond’s journey leads him into conflict with the murky organisation called Quantum who are bidding to take control of Bolivia’s water supply.

Level With Emily Reece: Level 73

  I’ve been working with Emily for the last month or so, this is the first episode that I got a blurb, and she somehow managed to mess up my name (I’m Adam Selvidge, not Matt Selvidge) though he was able to correct my name for the final blurb at the end of the episode. Read the full article…

The Living Daylights review

Timothy Dalton’s first outing as Bond sees him run into a covert Russian operation involving international drugs and arms deals. I was concerned that Timothy Dalton was too well ingrained in my mind as a villain from his amazing performance in The Rocketeer, which I’ve seen about a dozen times and love dearly. His performance Read the full article…

Austin Powers in Goldmember review

After Dr. Evil and his accomplice Mini-Me escape from a maximum-security prison, Austin, that international man of mystery, swings into action for another comedy caper. Less of a homage to Bond and more of a sequal to the plot threads from the previous Austin Powers movies. It also has the best opening of the three Read the full article…

Austin Powers: The Spy That Shagged Me review

First he fought for the Crown, now he’s fighting for the family jewels! Mike Myers returns as the world’s grooviest superspy who must return to the Swingin’ Sixties.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery review

Austin Powers is back into action to once again battle his archenemy Dr. Evil. With his sexy sidekick Ms. Kensington, Austin must stop Dr. Evil’s outrageous plot to control the world.

The Avengers review

Marvel makes cinematic history as it unites the super hero team of a lifetime. The last perfect MCU movie, with absolutely no imperfections at all, so shut your mouth if you feel otherwise

Captain America: The First Avenger review

Steve Rogers volunteers for a top secret project. Chris Evans is pitch perfect as Steve Rogers, a man who’s too idealistic during a time that idealism was in vogue. I find this funny because he was also pitch perfect as Johnny Storm in 2005’s Fantastic Four, a jerk that had more interest in doing awesome Read the full article…

A View To A Kill review

In pursuit of new computer super chips, Bond uncovers a plan which could destroy Silicon Valley and the West’s computer industries. Interesting that both Sean Connery and Roger Moore’s final films came out sequentially, it’s a great pausing opportunity for me to start watching other movies to take a brief break from my Bond marathon. Read the full article…

Never Say Never Again review

Sean Connery returns for his final appearance as James Bond. In this remake of Thunderball, Bond is brought out of retirement to investigate the theft of two nuclear weapons by SPECTRE.

Octopussy review

Stolen art treasures lead to a plan that will see Europe fall to a Russian invasion unless Bond can stop it in time. James Bond joins a hyper sexualized cult that uses a hyper sexualized circus as cover to move products around East/West Germany. There’s a nuclear bomb mixed in for good measure, along with Read the full article…
