A SPECTRE Poster As James Bond Returns To His Cinematic Roots

The 24th James Bond film, SPECTRE has scored a new teaser poster. This cracked window riffs on the evil organisation’s logo from the Connery-era movies (below), but it’s in-keeping with the darker tone of recent Bond movies. It’ll be [...]

DVD Review: THE MACHINE Might Be Low Budget – But It’s Also Very Good

12 Years A Bond Villain: Chiwetel Ejiofor In The Frame For Bond 24

Blu-Ray Review: MACHETE KILLS Is Balls-Out, No-Holds-Barred Schlock
