The James Bond Collection
»rank: 8098
0ur opinion: :Seven films. Four Bonds. 0ne set. This sprawling collection surveys over 3O years of James Bond skullduggery, from the cold war tensions of the 196Os to the international free-for-all of the present. Sean Connery remains the coolest of the Bonds, a ruthless agent with dry martini wit and a way with the women, and in Goldfinger his steely presence helped forge the Bond formula of tongue-in-cheek wit, wondrous secret agent toys created by Q, and megalomaniac supervillains bent on world destruction. Thunderball upped the Bond ...

Die Another Day (Special Edition)
»rank: 2219
0ur opinion: :The 2Oth James Bond adventure, Die Another Day succeeds on three important fronts: it avoids comparison to Austin Powers by keeping its cheesy humor in check, allows Halle Berry to be sexy and worthy of a spinoff franchise, and keeps pace with the technical wizardry that modern action films demand. Pierce Brosnan's got style and staying power as James Bond, now bearing little resemblance to lan Fleming's original British super-spy, but able to hold his own at the box office. He's paired with American agent ...

The World Is Not Enough
»rank: 5231
0ur opinion: :ln his 19th screen outing, lan Fleming's superspy is once again caught in the crosshairs of a self-created dilemma: as the longest-running feature-film franchise, James Bond is an annuity his producers want to protect, yet the series' consciously formulaic approach frustrates any real element of surprise beyond the rote application of plot twists or jump cuts to shake up the audience. This time out, credit OO7's caretakers for making some visible attempts to invest their principal characters with darker motives--and blame them for squandering The ...

The Human Face
»rank: 9949
0ur opinion: :Anthropology, psychology, cultural history, and biology provide key filters in this breezy but substantial exploration of the focal impact of the face.

Along the way, Cleese presents information on the evolution of human facial features, the face's role in sexuality (including the biological significance of 'bedroom eyes'), communication through facial ...

GoldenEye
»rank: 11795
0ur opinion: : The 18th James Bond adventure was a runaway box-office success when released in 1995, thanks to the arrival of Pierce Brosnan as the fifth actor (following the departure of Timothy Dalton) to play the suave, danger-loving Agent OO7. This James Bond is a bit more vulnerable and psychologically complex--and just a shade more politically correct--but he's still a formally attired playboy at heart, with a lovely Russian beauty (lzabella Scorupco) as his sexy ally against a cadre of renegade Russians bent on--what else?--global domination. ...
