Forever And A Day Review

James Bond fans this might surprise you but i've not even read a James Bond book heck i've not even seen any of them in shops and so when I was looking for a book to take on my holidays I was shocked to not only find one but it was also the most recent book in the franchise so here is my review of Forever And A Day. The plot of the book is 007 has been killed in the city of  Marseille and it's up to newly promoted James Bond to find out what's going on and more importantly who did it. Honestly the story is pretty simple and very easy to follow but having it set before Casino Royale means that this book falls into the same traps that all prequels do because we know that the main character isn't going to die because there in another book so it kills any suspense.

James Bond: Vargr Review

James Bond fans the franchise is mostly known for it's books and movies but very few people talk about the comic books heck I doubt that alot of you Bond fans even know that there's a comic book series featuring the character well know i'm going to review the very first story arc for the series here is my review of Vargr.

Something that really bugged me about Bond in this story was just how cold he was yes Bond should always distance himself when his on a mission but this storyline take

Some Of My Picks To Replace Danny Boyle As James Bond 25 Director

Ok Bond fans alot of us got bad news yesterday Danny is a talented director and if you havn't seen any of his movies then I recommend you go and check one out but now we get to have some fun and speculate on who the director of the next James Bond film will end up being and please note that some of these choices are just for fun and I'm not always going to name the most obvious choices either. Sam Mendes I know that Spectre divided alot of people in the fanbase however there is no denying the fact that this guy had mad talent if you want prove of that go and check out Skyfall however out of all the people featured in this post this is the one least likely to happen just because I think Sam would want a break from the franchise and that's fair enough. Taika Waititi Now when I was putting this post together in my head I never thought of this guy but then as I was writing up about Sam Mendes I thought about how great it would be if they got the gu
