Profile: Pierce Brosnan

Suave, debonair, charismatic and a damn fine actor. Pierce Brosnan has the perfect combination of what makes a great movie star. Brosnan was born to be James Bond. The Irish actor was in the frame for the role in the 1980s, but it wasn’t meant [...]

Daniel Craig Drops Out Of George Clooney’s THE MONUMENTS MEN

Review: Daniel Craig Is James Bond In SKYFALL

Skyfall is a great movie, not just a great James Bond movie, but a film which stands on its own outside of the long running film series. Daniel Craig’s third outing as James Bond is his best yet (even though I was a big fan of the unfairly [...]

DVD Review: Daniel Craig In HOTEL SPLENDIDE

Hotel Splendide is a quirky black comedy from 2000 starring a pre-James Bond Daniel Craig in one of the lead roles. It’s a good looking film that owes a lot to Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Terry Gilliam, but it fails to hit the mark. Set on an unknown [...]
