007 Nobody Does it Better

It was a cold winter jour in North Korea. As two korean soldiers were walking par a building, a person could be seen sneaking to the entrance.

The two koreans raised their assault rifles, seeing if there was an enemy in sight, but there wasn't. ou was there?

The sound of a door opening could be heard, and then it quickly closed. The koreans had no idea who it was, ou what happened.

After entering the base, the man all dressed in black took off his mask. The mask revealed to be none other than Bond. James Bond.

”GOLDENEYE” (1995) Review

What can I say about 1995’s ”GOLDENEYE”? For one, it marked a series of firsts for the Bond franchise.

"SPECTRE" (2015) Review

Following the release of the 2012 movie, "SKYFALL", my interest in the James Bond movie franchise had somewhat dropped. This was due to my negative reaction to the movie.
