"Spend the money quickly Mister Bond."

Advantages: Lavish, entertaining
Disadvantages: A bit daft in places

Octopussy is the thirteenth film in the James Bond series and was originally released in 1983. It features Roger Moore in his sixth and second to last appearance as James Bond and was directed by series regular John Glen. The plot of Octopussy (which retains little of Ian Fleming's short story) revolves around priceless Faberge eggs, jewel smuggling, female circus performers and a nutty Russian General with plans for a strike against the West. The ...
...(Steven Berkhoff) and the mysterious Octopussy (Maud Adams) in locations as diverse as India and Germany... After the relatively low-key For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy restored much of the widescreen spectacle and nonsense you expect from a Roger Moore James Bond film. In many ways this is the actor's last hurrah in the role with the kitchen sink thrown at the screen for the sake of entertainment. The plot (with input by George Macdonald Fraser) ...

Bus pass Bond

Advantages: Original sequences involving a Horse race.
Disadvantages: Morre is too old to be believable as 007.

The title of A View to a Kill is taken from Ian Fleming's short story called From a View to a Kill. Published in April 1960 as part of a collection of short stories in the novel For Your Eyes Only, the story tells of Bond going undercover to investigate the murder of a dispatch rider in France. This was Roger Moore's seventh and final outing as 007, at the time Moore was 58 and had been in the role of Bond for twelve years so the believability factor ...
...sequence begins with Bond recovering a microchip from the dead body of 003 in Siberia. The chip is the key to the whole plot of the film and from this Bond begins to uncover a web of intrigue and a plan for world domination that has disastrous consequences for the west coast of America. The plot has absolutely nothing to do with the novel at all; in fact the only similarities to the novel are the location of part of the story which begins in France. ...

"He had no head for heights."

Advantages: Good action sequences
Disadvantages: Drags a bit here and there

For Your Eyes Only is the twelfth film in the James Bond series and was originally released in 1981. After the fantastical 'Moonraker', the series was brought back down to earth with this film which includes characters from the Ian Fleming short stories 'Four Your Eyes Only' and 'Risico' and eschews the space-age gadgetry of previous Roger Moore entries. The plot of the film revolves around the sinking of the spy ship St Georges, which was equipped ...

Sir Timothy, a Secret Service operative, was looking for the ATAC and Bond soon has his hands full restraining the crossbow wielding Melina from her revenge mission and trying to work out if Columbo (Topol) or Kristatos (Julian Glover) is the real enemy... For Your Eyes only saw the promotion of second-unit ...

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...

2012 true or wrong

Advantages: I believe in god so I do not believe the end of 2012.
Disadvantages: 2012 film is entertainment. so make it fun for our minds

...if you buy the hype, 2012 is going to be the year of that will see the end of humanity, much like the earlier 2000s saw the downfall of TRL. The year of shock. Horror. Awe. Awe-some! I am currently much anticipating the apocalypse, especially if it involves John Cusack and will finally foresee that sinful state, California, falling into the Pacific Ocean, where it belongs, obviously. I am anticipating it as much as I did Y2K, with my gallons of water ...
...the claims of December 21, 2012 (in addition to it being my future wedding date), being the end of this current "cycle" we're upon. The Mayans were a very intelligent civilization for their time--they were able to calculate the time of day, and their mathematical accomplishments floored any Europeans' of the time. But there's a lot of controversy as to what December 21, 2012, signifies to them. Of course it's the end of their calendar cycle, but ...
