he-shot-cyrus.blogspot.com 11/13/2008 — I don't understand all the love for James Bond movies. Apart from a few in the middle, I've seen most of the Bond franchise. Each of the movies have their scenes. The New Orleans funeral ceremony that opens Live and Let Die is worth buying the DVD. ...

Quantum of Solace - Movie Review - Bond Bails Out On Being Bond
areyouscreening.com 3/25/2009 — Back when Casino Royale was in production, the chatter was that we were reinventing the Bond franchise.
