Ranking John McTiernan Films: #3 – “The Hunt For Red October” (1990)
Remember. One ping only.
Ranking John McTiernan Films: #9 – “Medicine Man” (1992)
Medicine Man is such a strange movie—the premise, the execution, the idea—all of it.
“The Name Of The Rose” Is Must Watch
We love a great surprise, and The Name Of The Rose (1986) is one of the most pleasant revelations in my viewing library in a very long time.
James Bond Film Rankings Analytics (AKA Stanko Nerding Out)
It is all meaningless in the grand scheme of things, but to me, it is a fun exercise.
Ranking The 26 James Bond Films
The journey is complete. There was a slight hiccup with the number of films we counted (thanks a lot, Never Say Never Again), but we got here. I have been […]
Ranking James Bond Films: #3 – “From Russia With Love” (1963)
Right from the jump, From Russia With Love feels different. It feels scarier. Bigger.
Ranking James Bond Films: #5 – “Goldfinger” (1964)
The test case for a successful Bond movie needing a stellar villain begins here, with Goldfinger.
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.
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: #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: #24 – “You Only Live Twice” (1967)
Alright, we have our first bad Sean Connery James Bond movie. It has happened.

Have You Ever Heard Of “The Presidio?”
It is a safe bet that less than 5% of the people clicking on this blog have heard of The Presidio (1988).
People Need To Respect “Highlander” And Kurgan
I saw this tweet this morning and I got fucking devastated. First of all, how did I not get the invite to attend Highlander’s 30th anniversary screening in 2016? That […]
