Mads Mikkelsen Has His Own Explanation For Le Chiffre’s Scar In Casino Royale

2006’s “Casino Royale” is the best Bond movie for many reasons.

The James Bond Legal Battle That Delayed GoldenEye For Nearly Half A Decade

In many ways, Timothy Dalton’s James Bond was before his time. Following the more tongue-in-cheek approach taken by Roger Moore, Dalton debuted as Bond in 1987’s “The Living Daylights” as a more hard-edged 007 that wasn’t a far cry from what Daniel Craig would bring to the role some 16 years later. Dalton would continue […]

When The James Bond Franchise Will End, According To Barbara Broccoli

In the shocking climax to 2021’s “No Time to Die,” James Bond finally shuffled off this mortal coil. I say “shuffled” as if it were a humble and dignified affair, but what I really mean is, went out in a blaze of… well, glory isn’t the right word. Perhaps “entirely unnecessary and gratuitous grandiosity” would […]

‘The Monk and the Gun’ Review: Bhutanese Villagers Welcome Democracy (and Daniel Craig) with Caution

It’s often said that the most important election for a young democracy is the second one. A nation seeking a new form of government can easily get swept up in the excitement of choosing its own leader, but the real test of its commitment comes when the first winner has to cede their power. Similarly, […]

The Best Detective Movie Isn’t ‘Knives Out’ — It’s This Kurosawa Classic

Knives Out and Glass Onion may have given viewers the quintessential movie private investigator of the modern age in Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig), but the two pictures pale in comparison to the gold standard of detective movies. Loosely based on the Ed McBain novel King’s Ransom, Akira Kurosawa’s High and Low revels in its police […]

’First Blood’s Explosions and Gunfire Aren’t What Make It an Action Classic

When you think of action movies, you think of pure bombast. These are loud movies littered with gunfire, explosions, one-liners and a fiery tone, always in it for a fun time. It isn’t very common that releases in this genre take their time to make you feel anything other than excitement, have a strong story, […]

Christopher Nolan Says It Would Be an ‘Amazing Privilege’ to Direct a James Bond Movie

Christopher Nolan is one of the few Hollywood filmmakers who can make original studio films with virtually unlimited budgets and creative freedom. Since concluding his groundbreaking trilogy of Batman movies with “The Dark Knight Rises” in 2012, Nolan has used that freedom to make original blockbusters like “Interstellar” and “Tenet” and historical epics including “Dunkirk” […]
