Diamonds Are Forever is the 7th James Bond film and the last in the Blofeld saga since James finally catches up with the slippery Russian to put him away. There are many things wrong with this movie but nothing bothered me more than the Bond girl Tiffany Case (Jill St. John).

This is the beginning of James Bond as we know him and some of the items in this movie became...

If you want a long movie of embarrassing Orientalism and exploitation, You Only Live Twice is the one for you. Two thing saves it from my pen of eternal disdain however and that is the space-aged gadgetry and the main villain. This comical caricature is the influence behind Dr. Claw of Inspector Gadget fame and Dr. Evil from Austin Powers. Sean Connery is not...

Sparing no expense at the subtlety, A View to a Kill starts with James Bond atop an icy mountain retrieving a necklace from a frozen corpse. While the Russian bad guys descend on him he does a ton of impossible stunts to dodge their gunfire, even boogie boarding to the Beach Boys tune of California Girls (clipped in rather poorly at that). Once off the mountain...
