Unlike regular writer James, I am all in favour of the current Daniel Craig-led James Bond series getting back a little bit of that superspy spark that it lost when the franchise was rebooted with Casino Royale. Yes, I love the less camp, far more hardcore Bond, and I certainly don’t want to go back to the cartoonish silliness of the …

I’ve been a massive fan of Chiwetel Ejiofor ever since I saw him in Serenity 9 years ago. Since then, I’ve been calling for him to get that one major role to catapult his career, but apparently nobody in Hollywood listens to me (unbelievable, I know!). He’s now finally got that role, and all it took was for him to be …

There are very few people alive who do not know the name of James Bond, yet it always surprises me how few know of his creator, Ian Fleming, and how it was his experiences as a playboy and spy that would influence his, well, playboy spy. And according to this teaser trailer, it seems that Fleming, a four-part mini-series biopic …

When it was announced that Sam Mendes would not be returning to helm the next James Bond flick after the stellar job he did on Skyfall, I promptly cried myself to sleep. Then cried some more.

With Skyfall reaching the critical and commercial success that it did, whoever directs the follow-up …

Not only did James Bond have the box office records dropping quicker than ladies underwear in his latest adventure, Skyfall, but there were many that considered it to be the best film to ever feature the British superspy. While, I personally think that it was more one of rather than just the best, the fact of the matter remains that it was …

Despite some illogical plotting and the fact that James Bond only felt comforatble taking out bad guys after they had used exactly one bullet to kill his piece of tail, Skyfall was actually pretty damn good. A marked improvement on Quantum of Solace, while habdling reboot elements better than certain aspects of Casino Royale, Skyfall was the Bond film that …

Bond. James Bond. He’s been knocking heads and banging his way throughout history since 1962, foiling schemes ranging from communism-based super-weapons through to new age Illuminati quests for world domination. The man has been around, is what I’m saying. But here’s the rub. Barring the recent Daniel Craig films, each installment in the Bond franchise is seen as chronological canon. That means …
