The Book Bond SOLO Review
The Book Bond SOLO Review
June 4, 2014- The Book Bond is a great Bond Blog. They recently published a great review of the novel, SOLO by William Boyd, now available in paperback.
BOOK BOND REVIEW: SOLO is the thinking man's OO7
Let's start by talking about the James Bond movies.
Bond movies can be stupid. Gloriously, magnificently, stupid. This is not a criticism. Stupid can be fun. Stupid sells! But in recent years we've seen that Bond movies can also be smart. With the arrival of Daniel Craig, we now have Bond movies rooted as much in character as formula action. And it's amazing how well that has worked out. How many billions has Skyfall made so far?
For the rest of the review read: http://www.thebookbond.com/2013/10/book-bond-review-solo-is-thinking-mans.html

Happy Birthday Mr Bond: Sean Connery Turns 83!
Happy Birthday Mr Bond: Sean Connery Turns 83!
August 25, 2013- While Sean Connery is an accomplished actor and producer, whose diverse body of work is beloved by people all over the world, his most notable film accomplishment, to date, is that his 1962 portrayal of Ian Fleming's Secret Agent in Dr. No transformed film history forever. While people around the world were familiar with the character of James Bond from the written works, that exposure pales in comparison to the familiarity of people to the character as a result of the 50 year film legacy launched by the compelling performance of this dashing, witty, rugged, Scottish Actor who was, virtually, unknown at the time he took the role. His James Bond was beloved, and set a high standard for his 5 predecessors to follow. For many Sean Connery IS James Bond.
Sean Connery's work outside of the World of Bond is memorable, and have earned him an Academy Award, 3 Golden Globes, and 2 BAFTA Awards. Scores of fans, who never even knew him as James Bond were stunned by his award winning performance in The Untouchables (1987).
Happy Birthday, Mr Bond! We look forward to what the remainder of your "third act" will bring.
