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.
Ranking James Bond Films: #12 – “For Your Eyes Only” (1981)
The first of five Glen Bond movies is a breathe of fresh air for Roger Moore and the franchise.
Ranking James Bond Films: #13 – “Spectre” (2015)
A rewatch with years of separation and a different appreciation for movie-making makes a world of difference.
Ranking James Bond Films: #14 – “Thunderball” (1965)
The fourth Bond movie in four years, Thunderball starts to show the straining wrinkles that would plague overstuffed Bond movies set to come in the future.
Ranking James Bond Films: #15 – “Never Say Never Again” (1983)
You thought that Sean Connery was done? Nope. He is back. This man gets many sendoffs, but his last is perhaps his best.
Ranking James Bond Films: #16 – “A View To Kill” (1985)
Roger Moore knew he was too old to play Bond, but dammit if he didn’t give it one final go.
Ranking James Bond Films: #17 – “Diamonds Are Forever” (1971)
Diamonds Are Forever won’t stick in your memory forever, but it’ll occupy two hours and give you a bit of a callback to the better bits of Connery as Bond, even if it doesn’t reach the potential peak.
Ranking James Bond Films: #18 – “Live And Let Die” (1973)
There is an argument that the song Live And Let Die by Paul McCartney and The Wings is the greatest Bond theme song ever, but you can’t make that case for the movie.
Stanko Update: I’m A Married Man.
I am a married man. There is a ring on my finger. Emma and I did the damn thing.
Ranking James Bond Films: #19 – “Tomorrow Never Dies” (1997)
And yes, I know this is three straight Brosnan films in a row. That says something, doesn’t it?
Ranking James Bond Films: #20 – “Die Another Day” (2002)
Die Another Day was the first Bond movie I ever saw…and nostalgia doesn’t hold up.
Ranking James Bond Films: #21 – “The World Is Not Enough” (1999)
I’m terribly sorry, but Denise Richards drains the swamp with her role in The World Is Not Enough.
Ranking James Bond Films: #22 – “Quantum Of Solace” (2008)
Quantum Of Solace is beyond a stepdown from Craig’s debut film, Casino Royale.
Stanko Update: The Wedding Fast Approches…(Insert Dramatic Music)
Perhaps that’s too much information? Ah, who cares. This is what it is.
