But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to 00 status.Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar, where he is to spy on feared terrorist Mollaka (Sebastien Foucan). Not everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios (Simon Abkarian) and his girlfriend, Solange (Caterina Murino). He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), banker to the world's terrorist organizations.Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization.'M' (Judi Dench) places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd (Eva Green). At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre.In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini), MI6's local field agent, and Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright), who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax!

Casino Royale (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)]]> http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/Casino-Royale-Widescreen-Two-Disc-Special-Edition/3742904 http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/On-Her-Majesty-s-Secret-Service-Bonus-Tracks/6374196 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:56:38 GMT One of the best James Bond scores just got a lot better, in this remastered, expanded edition that more than doubles the running time of the original LP or the old CD. John Barry, writing for a new lead actor in the role and a dazzling array of visual set pieces, as well as the most romantic and psychologically complex of all the Bond movies, rose to the occasion, with his best James Bond score ever. The music on the original album was serious enough in its depth and appeal to make that record indispensable, but the remastering of the CD for this expanded edition off of the original three-track and four-track masters (which has also yielded an expanded version of one existing track, "Journey To Blofeld's Hideaway"), gives that music a richness and detail that even devoted fans have never heard this way before. The additional 37 minutes of music is hardly less impressive -in addition to extensive sections of the score (including a gorgeous variation on "We Have All The Time In The World" as an instrumental ("Bond And Draco"), and some action and suspense music that is almost symphonic in nature, it contains cues that were written and recorded but excised from the finished cut of the movie; a bit of the bonus material features re-interpretations of familiar material, but the mastering and the mix are sophisticated enough to allow the listener to luxuriate in the variations and the details of the scoring. In other words, this is a chance to discover and know this music -- the best music in any of the Bond movies -- on a level more rewarding, even for the casual listener, than anyone has ever had before. The extensive annotation is just an added bonus to the audio delights. And calling the CD essential to any collection is an extraordinary understatement.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service [Bonus Tracks] -]]> http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/On-Her-Majesty-s-Secret-Service-Bonus-Tracks/6374196 http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/The-World-is-Not-Enough/6239902 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:52:58 GMT James Bond, the world's greatest secret agent, is sent once more into the breach in the name of Queen, Country, and a dry martini. In the 19th Bond adventure, 007 (Pierce Brosnan) must resolve a potentially deadly power struggle between two unstable nations, with control of the world's oil supply as the ultimate prize. Bond is assigned as bodyguard to Elektra King (Sophie Marceau), the daughter of a petroleum magnate who was brutally murdered, and is trying to foil the fiendish plot of Renard (Robert Carlyle), a villain who was shot in the head with an unusual result: he cannot feel physical pain, an apparent failing that proves to be a considerable asset. Denise Richards appears as Dr. Christmas Jones, an expert on nuclear weapons, alongside Desmond Llewelyn as Q, Judi Dench as M, Samantha Bond as Miss Moneypenny, and John Cleese as R. Alternative rock band Garbage performs the theme song.

The World is Not Enough]]> http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/The-World-is-Not-Enough/6239902 http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/The-Man-with-the-Golden-Gun/6239945 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:52:32 GMT The Man With the Golden Gun, Roger Moore's second outing as James Bond (Live and Let Die was the first), whisks our hero off to Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, and then the South China Sea in search of a solar energy weapon. His opponent is Scaramanga (Christopher Lee), who rules the roost on a well-fortified island. Scaramanga's aide-de-camp is Nick Nack, played by future Fantasy Island co-star Herve Villechaize. Britt Ekland plays the bikinied Mary Goodnight, whose clumsy efforts to help Bond thwart Scaramanga are almost as destructive as the elusive solar device. The Man With the Golden Gun was adapted by Richard Maibaum and Tom Mankiewicz from Ian Fleming's last James Bond novel, which had to be published posthumously in "rough draft" form.

The Man with the Golden Gun]]> http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/The-Man-with-the-Golden-Gun/6239945 http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/Live-and-Let-Die/6239900 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:52:04 GMT Roger Moore makes his first appearance as "Bond...James Bond" in 1973's Live and Let Die. Bond is dispatched to the States to stem the activities of Mr. Big (Yaphet Kotto), who plans to take over the Western Hemisphere by converting everyone into heroin addicts. The woman in the case is Solitaire (Jane Seymour in her movie debut), an enigmatic interpreter of tarot cards. The obligatory destructive-chase sequence occurs at the film's midpoint, with Bond being chased in a motorboat by Mr. Big's henchmen, slashing his way through the marshlands and smashing up a wedding party. Clifton James makes the first of several Bond appearances as redneck sheriff Pepper, while Geoffrey Holder is an enthusiastic secondary villain. The title song, written by Paul McCartney and Lisa McCartney, provides the frosting on this 007 confection.

Live and Let Die]]> http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/Live-and-Let-Die/6239900 http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/The-Living-Daylights/6239944 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:51:08 GMT The Living Daylights represents the first appearance by Timothy Dalton as "Bond...James Bond." Based very, very loosely on an obscure Ian Fleming short story, the film finds Bond assigned to aid in the defection of KGB agent Jeroen Krabbe. 007 must prevent an unknown sniper from killing Krabbe before he can reach the West. The mysterious assailant turns out to be the luscious Maryam d'Abo, who like practically everyone in the film except Bond is Not All That She Seems. The plot wends its way through a scheme to trade several million dollars' worth of diamonds for weapons, which will be shipped off to mercenaries worldwide. The climax takes place high above the clouds in a cargo plane loaded with opium. Dalton would play Bond one more time in License to Kill (1989) before handing the franchise over to Pierce Brosnan.

The Living Daylights]]> http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/The-Living-Daylights/6239944 http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/The-Spy-Who-Loved-Me/6239904 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:49:20 GMT Though not Ian Fleming's most famous James Bond novel, 1962's The Spy Who Loved Me was distinguished by the unique device of telling the story from the heroine's point of view; in fact, Bond doesn't make an appearance until the book is two-thirds over. This would hardly work in the film world's Bond franchise, so the original austere plotline of the novel was eschewed altogether in favor of a labyrinthine story involving outer-space extortion. The leading lady, a "hard-luck kid" in the original, is now sexy Russian secret agent Barbara Bach, who joins forces with Bond (Roger Moore, making his third appearance as 007) to foil yet another megalomaniac villain (Curt Jurgens), who plans to threaten New York City with nuclear weaponry. Beyond the eye-popping opening ski-jump sequence, the film's best scenes involve seven-foot-two Richard Kiel as steel-toothed henchman Jaws. Fifteen scriptwriters worked on The Spy Who Loved Me; only two were credited, including Bond-film veteran Richard Maibaum.

The Spy Who Loved Me]]> http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/The-Spy-Who-Loved-Me/6239904 http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/From-Russia-with-Love/6239897 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:48:46 GMT From Russia With Love, the second in the series of James Bond films, is the film that solidifies all the Bond film elements into a formula -- the action sequences are intensified and lend greater tension to the proceedings; John Barry's inimitable score makes its first appearance; Q is seen for the first time; and Sean Connery as Bond has nailed down his role as 007 -- accentuating Bond's stylishness and sophistication, while toning down his cold-bloodedness. In From Russia With Love, the bad guys don't want to take over the world. They want something more mundane -- a Russian decoding device. Assigned to the mission of stealing the decoding device are #3, former KGB agent Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya), and #5, Kronsteen (Vladek Sheybal), an expert chess player who has plotted every move of the mission. Kronsteen's plan requires using Bond's weakness for women as an element in acquiring the decoding device. Once Bond obtains the decoding device from Russian cipher clerk Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi), SPECTRE muscleman Red Grant (Robert Shaw) is to forcibly take it from Bond and kill him. But Bond suspects a trap. Being Bond, however, he can't resist the lure of a beautiful woman. So, flaunting danger, Bond travels to Istanbul to meet Tatiana. The centerpiece of this 007 feature is the thrilling fight to the death between Bond and enemy agent Red Grant (Shaw) aboard the Orient Express.

From Russia with Love]]> http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/From-Russia-with-Love/6239897 http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/You-Only-Live-Twice/6239947 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:46:09 GMT James Bond heads East to save the world (and to learn how to serve saki properly) in this action-packed espionage adventure. When an American spacecraft disappears during a mission, it's widely believed to have been intercepted by the Soviet Union, and after a Russian space capsule similarly goes missing, most consider it to be an act of American retaliation. Soon the two nations are at the brink of war, but British intelligence discovers that some sort of UFO has crashed into the Sea of Japan. Agent 007, James Bond (Sean Connery) is sent in to investigate. After staging his own death to avoid being followed, Bond, disguised as a Japanese civilian, teams up with agent Tiger Tanaka (Tetsuro Tamba) and his beautiful associate Aki (Akiko Wakabayashi). With their help, Bond learns that both the American and Russian space missions were actually scuttled by supercriminal Ernst Blofeld (Donald Pleasance) in yet another bid by his evil empire SPECTRE to take over the world. As he battles the bad guys, Bond finds time to romance both Kissy Suziki (Mie Hama) and Helga Brandt (Karin Dor). You Only Live Twice was one of Sean Connery's last outings as James Bond. The next Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, would star George Lazenby as 007, and while Connery would return for Diamonds Are Forever, in 1973, Roger Moore took over the role. (Connery would play Bond one last time, in 1983's Never Say Never Again, which was produced outside the official series.)

You Only Live Twice]]> http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/You-Only-Live-Twice/6239947 http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/A-View-to-a-Kill/6239901 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:45:36 GMT Secret Agent 007 must stop a megalomaniacal technology mogul from destroying Silicon Valley in this unexceptional entry in the James Bond series. Computer baron Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) is planning to trigger a major California earthquake in order to wipe out his competitors. Bond is assigned to stop him, but first he must do battle with Zorin's statuesque partner in crime, May Day (Grace Jones). The expected high-wire confrontations ensue, as Bond battles the villains at international landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and takes the occasional break to romance an attractive geologist. Unfortunately, nothing fresh is brought to the familiar formula, and even the well-staged action sequences prove less than exciting. Indeed, this otherwise by-the-numbers production is most notable for the fact that it marked the final appearance of Roger Moore as the dashing Bond.

A View to a Kill]]> http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/A-View-to-a-Kill/6239901 http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/Goldfinger/6239899 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:44:56 GMT With Goldfinger, the James Bond series took a turn away from relatively straightforward spy thrillers and toward campy gadgetry, extravagant sets, and kitschy jokes. The final result was one of the best and most endearing 007 movies. Bond (Sean Connery) has to prevent a notorious gold smuggler, appropriately named Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe), from robbing Fort Knox. Goldfinger is surrounded by evil henchmen such as the sexy female pilot Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman) and Oddjob (Harold Sakata), who kills with his steel-rimmed bowler hats. In order to stop Goldfinger, Bond has to survive several perilous situations, including a huge, deadly laser. Goldfinger is one of the most popular films in the James Bond series, and it set the tone not only for the rest of the series but also for most of the action/adventure films of the late '60s and early '70s.

Goldfinger]]> http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/Goldfinger/6239899 http://ian-fleming-james-bond.zlio.net/p/Moonraker/6239946 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:44:08 GMT Ian Fleming's 1955 James Bond novel Moonraker concerned itself with an experimental spaceship controlled by a megalomaniac. The 1979 film version of Moonraker pays lip service to the original plot, adding an up-to-date space travel wrinkle. This time, Bond (Roger Moore) must thwart the plans of Sir Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale) to destroy the earth with an atomic-powered rocket. On surface level, Drax's scheme seems self-defeating, but he intends to raise a race of supermen on a distant planet. The girl in the case is American secret-agent Holly Goodhead, intelligently played by Lois Chiles. "Jaws," the steel-mouthed henchman played by Richard Kiel in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), makes a return appearance in Moonraker, turning good-guy (complete with a girl friend of his own) in the process. Bernard Lee makes his last appearance as "M" in this most costly of James Bond's 1970s escapades.
