Mark Casserly takes a look at three worthwhile additions to the library of any Bond fan. Ahead of the upcoming Christmas season, here are three excellent James Bond related books to buy for the 007 fan in your life. Many Bond books have been released over the years, with these following titles worthy additions to […]
Ardent Bond fan Julian Gale gives his verdict on the October 4 event at The Royal Albert Hall. From the moment Shirley Bassey walked on stage at The Royal Albert Hall to a standing ovation I knew this was going to be a great evening, one of glitz and glamour far away from the predictable […]
Eoghan Lyng reviews a book looking at Timothy Dalton’s two outings as 007. Finally, someone gets the Timothy Dalton films. Through Cary Edwards’ monograph, readers are invited on a methodological study through the narratives, strengths, virtues and zeitgeists presented throughout the two Dalton films. Sharply written, sharply presented, sharply edited, it sharply delves into the […]

Although Mendes is undoubtedly a talented director, there were too many elements of Skyfall that I disliked. While individually I would probably have been […]
In addition to its own review, in which Lizo Mzimba called it a “badder, better but not bigger”, the BBC has published a summary of Quantum of Solace reviews published by the UK media. On the whole all reviews are favourable, although they tend to agree that it is not as good as Casino Royale. […]
