Weekend Roundtable: Action Movie One-Liners

Josh Zyber — Fri, 18 May 2018 12:00:25 +0000

Deadpool, who returns to theaters this weekend, is known for his snark-filled dialogue while dispatching bad guys. Our Roundtable this week celebrates some other great (and some not-so-great) action movie one-liners. Yippee Ki-Yay! Note: Sorry, we will not have a review of ‘Deadpool 2’ this week. Jason is still off cavorting in the south of...

Too Many R.I.P.s This Week

Josh Zyber — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 18:00:54 +0000

The world was shaken yesterday by the news that rock icon (and occasionally actor and filmmaker) Prince died unexpectedly at the age of 57. Sadly, his wasn’t the only notable passing this week. Born Prince Rogers Nelson, the musician was known for most of his career simply as Prince, aside from that interlude where he...

Weekend Roundtable: The Time Traveling Movie Fan

Josh Zyber — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 19:00:39 +0000

Let’s say you had a time machine. You could use it to go back and prevent world wars or save the mother of the future leader of the human resistance from a cyborg assassin. Sure sure sure, that’s all well and good. Or, as a movie buff, you could attend the opening weekend premieres of...

SteelBook Alert: Choose Your Next Witticism Carefully

Josh Zyber — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 19:00:03 +0000

To celebrate the film’s 50th anniversary, MGM will release a SteelBook reissue of ‘Goldfinger’ on Blu-ray in the UK this fall. That’s nice and all, but I still have several James Bond movies that I’d rather see prioritized for the metal case treatment. Back when MGM first started releasing the James Bond franchise on Blu-ray...

Bond 50 Poll: Best James Bond Theme Songs

Josh Zyber — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 16:00:17 +0000

Over the years, the James Bond theme song has become so integral to the success of the Bond formula that many of these songs have proven to be even more popular (and sometimes just plain better) than the movies they support. On the other hand, some are unfortunately forgettable. Which Bond theme songs are your...

Bond 50 Poll: Favorite Henchmen in James Bond Films

Josh Zyber — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 17:00:48 +0000

We discussed Bond villains the other day, but as we know, in the James Bond movie universe, a villain is nothing without a good henchman (or henchwoman) at his side to do his dirty work. For today’s poll, let’s vote on the best of these nefarious nogoodniks. As it happens, the very first characters to...

Josh Zyber — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:00:47 +0000

Where would James Bond be without his famous Bond Girls? In addition to the guns and the gadgets and the villains, a good James Bond movie needs a lovely lady (or preferably several) to complete the formula. Let’s vote for our favorites. [Post has been updated with photos!] Every James Bond film has at least...

Bond 50 Poll: Favorite James Bond Villains

Josh Zyber — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:00:59 +0000

One of the keys to a good James Bond movie is a juicy villain whose diabolical plan the secret agent must foil. In today’s poll, let’s pick our favorites. I would have to say that the definitive Bond villain still remains Auric Goldfinger, the greedy capitalist who attempted to break into Fort Knox in ‘Goldfinger‘....

Bond 50 Poll: Favorite James Bond Movies

Josh Zyber — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 19:00:05 +0000

Of all the major catalog titles finally making their way to Blu-ray this year, the one that I’m personally most excited for is the ‘Bond 50‘ collection that will be released next week. Even though I already bought most of the James Bond movies when they were previously released on the format, I’m such a...

In last week’s Movie Madness Playoff Round, we established that Sean Connery takes the lead among our readers for best James Bond (though Daniel Craig wasn’t too far behind). But that doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s made the best Bond movie overall. Or does it? This week, tell us which 007 adventure is your favorite....
