Fifty Years of 007! Josh Reviews Casino Royale (2006)
So, about a year ago I had an idea that I’d try to watch one or two Bond films a month, starting with Dr. No. I thought this would be a fun way to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Bond franchise in 2012, and a great lead up to the release of the new […]
Skyfall!
Check out this new international trailer for the new James Bond film: Skyfall! This is our first real meaty look at the new film, and what a look! Beware, it’s possible this trailer spoils a few things you might prefer to remain a surprise. But it’s hard to criticize s
James Bond Will Return!
Finally! After an unexpectedly long hiatus in the franchise due to MGM’s bankruptcy, James Bond is returning to our cinema screens. Here’s the first trailer for Skyfall:
Fifty Years of 007! Josh Reviews Thunderball (1965)
Well, my apologies, gang, for the long delay between installments of my look back at all the James Bond films. I’ve been eager to get back to this Bond re-watching project, but I’ve just found myself busy with other things and continually drawn to other films. In the m

I’ve gotta open with Alan Moore’s article about his feelings on the Guy Fawkes mask from V for Vendetta (his brilliant comic book series, published in 1982) is now being used by protesters of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. The piece is a fascinating read (and i
News Around the Net!
Let’s kick the day off with a wonderful analysis on AICN about Why Star Trek II Works So Well. The piece is a wonderful love-letter to Star Trek II (which happens to be one of my very favorite films of all time), and it’s a very thoughtful analysis of why the film is so
(Almost) Fifty Years of 007! Josh Reviews Goldfinger (1964)
I’m only three films into my year-long (if not longer) project to revisit all 22 James Bond films, and I’ve already arrived at my very favorite Bond movies, and one of my very favorite films of all-time: Goldfinger. The film: The greatness of Goldfinger lies in how the fil
(Almost) Fifty Years of 007! Josh Reviews From Russia With Love (1963)
I’ve just begun what promises to be a year-long project to revisit all 22 James Bond films. (I plan on also re-watching Never Say Never Again, though I will most likely be skipping the 1954 and 1967 versions of Casino Royale.) Click here for my lengthy article on the very fi
(Almost) Fifty Years of 007! Josh Reviews Dr. No (1962)
It is absolutely unbelievable to me that it has been nearly FIFTY YEARS since the release of the first James Bond film, Dr. No, back in 1962. (I don’t think the 1954 television version of Casino Royale counts.) Let me say right at the outset that I am an enormous James Bond fan.
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews OSS 117: Lost in Rio
Last spring I wrote about OSS 117: Cairo Nest of Spies, a French parody of the Sean Connery era James Bond films. I really liked the movie — I thought it was a spot-on Bond parody and very, very silly — and so I was very excited to watch the 2009 sequel: Rio Ne Repond [&
