Double-ovember: Casino Royale (Matt's Take)

Casino Royale - Classy If it wasn't for my co-reviewer, DJ Valentine, I might not have posted another Bond review for the rest of the month.  As I briefly touched on in my "Skyfall" review, I'm not the biggest James Bond fan.  Not saying he hasn't...

Double-ovember: Casino Royale (DJ's Take)

REAL Lets face it.  Die Another Day sucked.  I haven't reviewed it yet, but in case I don't get a chance to, let me save you the suspense.  Die Another Day sucked.  James Bond deserved better than that.  At the time, 007 was hit by...

Double-ovember: Skyfall (DJ's Take)

STIRRING See what I did there?  But no, my above one word review of Skyfall is not a joke.  Well, maybe a little bit.  Bond 23 is easily the most dramatic Bond film of the franchise.  It finishes an origin trilogy of Bond, M, MI6, Q branch...

Double-ovember, Skyfall (Justin's Take)

Skyfall: Beautiful (143mins, 2012, Action) Beautiful both visually and story. Lets just get this out and say, Skyfall is the most beautiful looking film I've seen this year and I might even say within a few years. Roger Deakins has made a...

Double-ovember: Skyfall (Matt's Take)

Skyfall - Dysfunctional I'll set the record straight; in no way am I as big a fan of James Bond than my co-reviewers.  I've seen the more well-known Bond films (Goldfinger, Thunderball, and the Pierce Brosnan flicks).  I enjoyed the re-done "Casino...

Double-ovember: Live And Let Die

RISKY First, we’re going to replace the tried and true Sean Connery with relative unknown Roger Moore for Bond.  Then we’re going to give him the first African American Bond girl.  Then we’re going to give him the first African American Bond Villain....

Election Day Special: Dave

Dave: Unique (1993, 110mins, Comedy) Originally I was reviewing 1995's Nixon. I always thought it was a underrated film, one that was well acted and directed. But as I was watching it, I said it just the same old, same old. I wanted something I thought was unique....

Election Day Special: Bulworth

Bulworth - Gimmick Now here's a gimmick for you; take Warren Beatty, a poster child for White America, make him rap and booty dance with Halle Barry while dressed in mid-90s hip-hop fashions all the while on the run from a supposed assassination attempt.  Sound...

Election Day Special: Election

SURPRISING On this election day, I wanted to talk about a film that really encapsulates what most modern elections, especially this one, are about.  A revenge seeking electorate creating a candidate that looks great superficially but is merely...
