From here, the world comes to me
Maximillian Largo in Never Say Never Again is one of my highlights of this unofficial James Bond movie, mostly because of Klaus Maria Brandauer’s breezy but meticulous character. I’d argue that his calm but forceful portrayal makes him a formidable… Read More →

Aren’t we a little overdressed, Goodnight?
Bond has this surprisingly sharp greeting for Mary Goodnight after her kidnapping in The Man with the Golden Gun. It’s a bit odd that Bond doesn’t offer any relief or reassurance to her, but instead utters this cutting remark that… Read More →

Looking for a news story?
Tomorrow Never Dies remains my favorite Pierce Brosnan Bond outing, thanks to its sharp pacing, engaging plot, and standout sequences like the remote-controlled BMW 750 chase. That said, the escape from Carver’s office building highlights a rare misstep. Bond’s above… Read More →
