Ranking James Bond Films: #2 – “Casino Royale” (2006)

This script’s approach to the character and the story is evident right from the jump with a nasty black & white fist fight. We see Bond get his literal license to kill.

Ranking James Bond Films: #3 – “From Russia With Love” (1963)

Right from the jump, From Russia With Love feels different. It feels scarier. Bigger.

Stanko Update: Back To Work.

If you made it to the end of this Stanko Update, I have you a ton of credit. This was a stream-of-consciousness mess.

Ranking James Bond Films: #4 – “The Spy Who Loved Me” (1977)

The Spy Who Loved Me surpassed expectations and stands tall as Roger Moore’s crowning achievement as 007.

Ranking James Bond Films: #6 – “The Man With The Golden Gun” (1974)

The Man With The Golden Gun throws the viewers into the fray using the same introduction as From Russia With Love: a hitman training other hitmen to be better killers.

Ranking James Bond Films: #7 – “Goldeneye” (1995)

So many explosions. Really, an ungodly amount of explosions. But who cares?

Ranking James Bond Films: #8 – “No Time To Die” (2021)

There were six years between Spectre and No Time To Die, which ties the longest gap between Bond films. It’s safe to say they took their time ensuring they got it right.

Ranking James Bond Films: #9 – “The Living Daylights” (1987)

Timothy Dalton’s first of two outings as James Bond doesn’t have nearly the campiness or seductive power that Roger Moore and Sean Connery end up dripping to. Smiling is not something that Dalton’s 007 is prone to.

Fundraiser For FightCRC

It’s safe to say that cancer does not discriminate. It hits those who are least expecting it and those who deserve it least.

Ranking James Bond Films: #11 – “Dr. No” (1962)

There is always something special about the first. In 1962, Ian Fleming’s international spy debuted in Terence Young’s Dr. No. Sean Connery isn’t on the screen to open the movie, but when he introduces himself at the poker table, it is impossible not to go all in.

Stanko Update: The Honeymoon Is Over. Time For Reality To Set Back In

Guys, I had a burger and fries. I mean, that was an unfathomable thought a mere four to five weeks ago.
