MY DEFINITIVE RANKING OF THE JAMES BOND FILMS

You may remember that before the release of 2012’s Skyfall I watched the entire James Bond franchise and wrote about them for “The Bond, James Bond Challenge”. Here is my definitive ranking of Bond’s missions as written back in 2012 after seeing Skyfall. As I look back at this list after having re-watched the franchise again recently, I will admit that some of these ratings are still too high, especially for those at the bottom of the list. 1. Skyfall (2012) Daniel Craig 5 out of 5 TICKET STUBS  It may feel like a cliché to have that at the top of my list, but itRead More →

Movie Review: NO ESCAPE

NO ESCAPE Director: John Erick Dowdle Starring: Owen Wilson, Lake Bell, Pierce Brosnan, Claire Geare, Sterling Jerins Let’s face it. We all enjoy Owen Wilson when he’s being quirky and making us laugh in films like Zoolander or any of Wes Anderson’s movies. His name isn’t usually tossed around for a high-intensity action movie involving a coup in Asia. That’s precisely why No Escape is a little bit different than you would expect it to be. Wilson is paired with funny-lady Lake Bell (In a World…) as Jake and Annie Dwyer who move their family to an unspecified country in Asia due to his workRead More →
