  • 2010 Movie Wrap-up

    Only 75 movies watched in 2010. With such a low count, I don’t think I deserve to call myself a movie buff anymore. Then again, I’m sure most will agree that 2010 was a terrible terrible year for movies in general. There was hardly anything worth watching, and most of the Oscar nominees only hit [...]

  • All 21 James Bonds! – Part 4/4

    Finally! The last installment of my James Bond movie project, with the last 5 Bond films before Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale. Managed to finish it just before 2009.. what a great way to end 2008. Truthfully, writing these posts have been quite time consuming. Running through each DVD to screen capture the characters, thinking of [...]

  • All 21 James Bonds! – Part 3/4

    Moonraker (1979) Easily the MOST OUTRAGEOUS Bond in the entire history of this franchise. Capitalizing on the success of Star Wars and the whole sci-fi craze of that era, this one takes Bond to space to combat a mad billionaire. You can expect to see the most nonsensical MI6 invention – the Venetian gondola that [...]

  • Singapore Cinema

    I managed to catch the following 3 movies in Singapore during my 3 weeks here. Not many people here flock to the movies quite as much as Malaysia – which I find a little strange considering Malaysia has a much higher rate of movie piracy. Then again, I guess movies in Singapore aren’t particularly cheap [...]

  • All 21 James Bonds! – Part 2/4

    On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) This is the first and only James Bond film to star George Lazenby as 007. I would say he did a pretty decent job despite having no acting experience. It was also one of the most ‘raw’ James Bond film before the release of Casino Royale, due to its [...]
