My Thoughts On The No Time To Die Trailer

Bond fans the day that alot of us have been waiting for as finally happened at 1:25 (UK Time)this afternoon all of the James Bond social media channels posted the No Time To Die trailer. However I didn't get the memo that it was going to drop at a certain time and so I spent no joke all morning and some of the afternoon refreshing the James Bond twitter account must waiting for it to drop and well it has and i've gone through the trouble of collecting and editing A LOT of images to put this post together so here we go with my thoughts on the No Time To Die trailer. As with anything let us start at the start of the trailer I have no idea where this was filmed but from this opening shot it looks really nice and possibly somewhere that us fans would want to visit. However judging by the winding roads this looks like it was filmed in Italy but there's a very good chance that I could be wrong with that assumption since i've heard that the film filmed scenes in

Does The James Bond Franchise Need To Be Updated For The Me Too Era?

James Bond fans I feel that we don't get to talk that often outside of the film reviews and yes there will be more of those coming. Well I thought that since we are now in the me too era and everybody gets offended by anything I thought it would be good to pose the question of if the film franchise needs to be updated in order to fit in with this new era and please note that this wasn't planned so it might be all over the place in terms of thought and content. In order to under stand if the franchise needs to be updated we need to understand when and how the me too movement started and please note I won't be covering everything on how it started just a few key points. Now the phrase "Me Too" was actually first being thrown around in 2006 thanks to social activist and community organiser Tarana Burke and the phrase was used to promote empowerment through empathy and it was first being used on Myspace. The phrase really did kick into high gear in 2

My Personal Top 10 Favourite Bond Girls

Bond fans i'm not going to lie this is perhaps the hardest list i've ever had to produce not only because alot of these Bond Girls are well loved by the fans but also because I have no idea on what qualities i'm going to be ranking these girls. No matter which qualities I went with the list was always changing and that made it very hard for me to nail down this list i'm going to give it ago and tell you my personal top 10 favourite Bond Girls. 10)  Tatiana Romanova (From Russia With Love) ( Daniela Bianchi) What puts this character so low down on the list is that despite the fact she's beautiful as all hell she is also rather forgetful. I can't remember a single thing that she does in From Russia With Love infact I remember right she spends alot of the time begging James to help her which is fine every once in a while but it's not. I will give her this she's a lot better then Rosie from Live And Let Die but a rock is better then her and

James Bond 25 Title Revealed

So then Bond fans after what I can only describe as a very lack luster announcement live stream earlier on in the year and a very troubled production we now have some very good news. I will admit that I thought that they would announce the name of the movie when the first teaser for the film dropped like what Marvel did with Avengers: Endgame but low and behold that's not the case but that wasn't the only bit information that was released. We also got the plot for the film which is " In BOND 25 , Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica.  His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology ."  I'll admit that I had to do a bit of editing there because the name of the film was in the synopsis and

My Top 10 James Bond Films

James Bond fans it's been a short while since we last had a nice long chat and well to be honest i have no reason why that's the case other then the fact i've been busy writing other things. This is something that i've been sitting on for a about a day or two just because I was busy writing a none James Bond review and that meant pushing this post back but i'm doing now and well i'm going to tell you my personal top 10 James Bond films and no i'm not going to list the every film in a future post because that would be insane and i'm only including the films produced by EON Productions and just to make things clear number 10 means it's very bad and the further up you go the better the films become. 10) Die Another Day Now this and number 9 are pretty much tied for the worst James Bond film but what tips it in this film's favour is the fact that this film in my opinion fails as an anniversary film. Not only that but it also hits yo
