The Bond Thing – Day 5
Day 5 closes out this category with my favorite Gun Barrel/Pre-title sequence. 1) Casino Royale (2006) My favorite sequence is the one that breaks with Bond convention by not only not having it to open the film, but have it built into the pre-title sequence. It’s a really tense seen where a pre-Double O…

The Bond Thing – Day 4
We’re coming to the home stretch for the Gun Barrel/Pre-title category. My 2nd favorite will certainly be a controversial selection for sure. 2) GoldenEye (1995) So I’m gonna just put this out there.

The Bond Thing – Day 3
We continue The Bond Thing with my 3rd favorite Gun Barrel/Pre-Title sequence. 3) Goldfinger (1964) The third Bond feature is the one most credited for giving the series its formula. The gadgets, the cars, and having the pre-title sequence not always being a part of the main narrative. Its impact alone makes it part…

Youth is not wasted on these young people: Young Justice Season 1
So I knew of the reputation of this show after it had gone off the air. Like another short-lived animated show, The Spectacular Spider-Man, Young Justice ended before it could truly begin. The first season had been on Netflix streaming for a while and I had it in my list. I finally started it…

Your Mission, should You Choose to Accept It – Revisiting Mission: Impossible
Since Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation was released, I decided to revisit the film series and rank the films in order of enjoyment for me. Plus I had no idea that my wife never saw the first 2 movies so it certainly was perfect timing. I’ll tackle the movies in theatrical release order then…

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation Review
Its hard to believe that this is only the 5th film in the Mission: Impossible series. We’re creeping up on 20 years and you would think that we get these films every year like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But here we are and boy does this film have a bit going on. In Rogue…
