James Bond Retrospective: Octopussy (1983)
15 May 2012 3:15 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
To mark the 50th Anniversary of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and with filming almost complete on James Bond’s 23rd official outing in Skyfall due for release later this year, I have been tasked with taking a retrospective look at the films that turned author Ian Fleming’s creation into one of the most recognised and iconic characters in film history.
For Octopussy, the thirteenth official James Bond film, 1983 proved to be rather unlucky. After a lengthy court battle with the co-writer of Thunderball, Kevin McClory, Albert R. Broccoli’s Eon Productions had lost the right to use Bond’s nemesis Blofeld and his organisation Spectre in any of their films. McClory had been trying since 1974 to get his own rival Bond film made but due to a lack of financial backing and legal action from United Artists and the Fleming Trustees his project »

Bond Girl Maud Adams unhappy with 007's beer
20 April 2012 3:01 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Maud Adams is unhappy James Bond is going to be seen drinking a beer in new movie 'Skyfall'. The 67-year-old Swedish actress starred opposite Roger Moore in two Bond films, 'The Man with the Golden Gun' and 'Octopussy', and she is unimpressed that current 007 Daniel Craig will be seen supping a Heineken instead of his trademark Vodka Martin cocktail after Heineken USA agreed a deal to be featured in the movie. Maud thinks the change of drink will make the suave British spy appear less elegant. She told Swedish entertainment magazine Extra: 'Even though it's a good beer, this has gone too far. 'Martini was something elegant when I served Roger Moore and it is elegant to »

James Bond Retrospective: The Man With The Golden Gun (1974)
15 March 2012 3:56 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
To mark the 50th Anniversary of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and with filming well underway on James Bond’s 23rd official outing in Skyfall due for release later this year, I have been tasked with taking a retrospective look at the films that turned author Ian Fleming’s creation into one of the most recognised and iconic characters in film history.
With Roger Moore well and truly established in the lead role after just one film, work began on a follow-up to Live And Let Die almost as soon as it was released into cinemas. Keen to capitalise on the renewed success of the character, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman chose Fleming’s final Bond novel, The Man With The Golden Gun as their ninth film featuring the British secret agent.
With the novel taking place largely in Jamaica, it was felt »

Deadly Intent (1989)
13 January 2012 3:46 PM, PST | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Written by: John Goff
Directed by: Nigel Dick
Starring: Lisa Eilbacher, Steve Railsback, Maud Adams, Fred Williamson, Persis Khambatta, Lance Henrikson, David Dukes, Solly Marx, Pamela Guest
Okay, you see a DVD cover (or read about a film on the web) with Maud Adams, Fred Williamson, Persis Khambatta and Lance Henrikson in the cast and you figure it has to be a decent bit of cheese. Well, check your expectations at the door, because Deadly Intent is intent on being a deadly dull cinematic experience.
Released on video in 1989, the story focuses on the trials of Laura Keaton (Lisa Eilbacher). She’s married to Raymond (Lance Henrikson), an adventurer who collects rare artifacts and is not above screwing over his partners. When the film opens, we see him beat a member of his most recent expedition (Harley, played by Solly Marx) senseless in order to walk out of the jungle with a massive diamond. »

Entertainment Weekly Rates The Best And Worst Bond Girls
6 January 2012 7:36 PM, PST | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
The first Bond girl is arguably the best: Ursula Andress in Dr. No.
Entertainment Weekly's Joshua Rich provides us with yet another completely superfluous, yet admittedly fun, movie list, this time evaluating the merits of major James Bond actresses and characters. Some of his observations are spot-on (i.e Ursula Andress and Diana Rigg rank among the best; Denise Richards and Britt Ekland among the worst. ) Some of the other conclusions seem delusional: would you really consider Lotte Lenya's Rosa Klebb to be a "Bond Girl?" or Maud Adams' Octopussy among the worst characters?
