Blu-ray Release Date: Sept. 25, 2012
Price: Blu-ray $299.99
Studio: MGM Home Entertainment/20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
MGM’s celebration of James Bond’s 50th anniversary includes this collection, which includes all 22 action films in the 007 series, a few new special features and promotion for the 23rd movie, Skyfall.
The Bond 50 set also represents the only collection with all the movies on high-definition Blu-ray. But it still doesn’t have Never Say Never Again, the 1983 unofficial Bond movie, although the set does have Thunderball, which is the same story (and Sean Connery even stars in both as the celebrated British spy).
Back in 2007, the James Bond Ultimate Collector’s Set arrived on DVD, containing all the franchise’s films at that time. The Bond 50 box includes everything in that DVD set, plus 2008′s Quantum of Solace, but all in Blu-ray.
The new special features on Bond 50 are:
“The World of Bond” montage of five decades of 007 thrills, »

If you know (or are) a fan of James Bond films, especially if you’re looking to expand your Blu-Ray collection, you’ll want to mark your calendars for September 25th. The full collection, along with some great bonus features, will be released as Bond 50, to celebrate 50 years of James Bond.
Beyond getting all 22 films, which come with over 100 hours of bonus features, there will also be an additional disc of bonuses, with all new featurettes, including The World of Bond, a Pop-Up Trivia optional ride through the entire franchise. While any 22-movie set is unlikely to come with an “automatic purchase” price tag, this is one that is sure to tempt quite a few fans. The entire set of Bond films is hard to pass up, and with the nearly unbelievable treasure trove of bonuses, it really is a collection that kicks up the value.
Take a look below at the full details, »

Since I am in Cannes you have been getting daily updates on what I've been watching and I even mentioned seeing Dr. No on the beach already, but I felt I'd get in the spirit of this weekly feature and at least offer a few thoughts before asking what you watched... Dr. No (1962) I can't say which of the Sean Connery Bond films is my favorite, but the top three would be Dr. No, From Russia with Love and Goldfinger... no big surprises there. I am expecting to watch From Russia with Love on the beach this coming Monday night should the weather cooperate so I'll have a better gauge on my feelings after seeing it again, but watching Dr. No in such an environment as I did was really something special. It spoke to the power of movies and how comforting a good movie can be and how communal they can be. »

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 »

Following on from Bond’s previous mission into outer space for Moonraker, which although it was a huge success at the box office provided some of the worst excesses of the series so far preferring a more humorous approach over the serious spy thrills of the early days in the character’s long history. The film had also proved to be a costly exercise requiring co-financing from the French wing of United Artists to cover the budget. Series producer Albert R. Broccoli wisely »

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the James Bond franchise, one of the longest-running and most successful film series of all time. Four years after "Quantum Of Solace," Daniel Craig is returning as 007 in "Skyfall," arguably the most prestigious entry yet with Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes at the helm, a top-notch creative team behind him, and a cast that includes heavyweights like Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris, among others. But so far, the film's secrets have remained relatively locked up.
But with the film's trailer set to debut in a month, paired with the release of "Men In Black 3," some more info has started to leak out, with Bond the cover star of the latest issue of Empire Magazine, who've been on the set of the movie. The magazine is on newsstands now, and it's a must-read for Bond fans, with features not just on "Skyfall, »

Thirty-six years ago today, on April 25th, 1976, filmmaker Carol Reed passed away. One of the greatest directors ever to come out of the U.K., Reed started out as an actor, but gained fame as a writer-director in the late 1930s and 1940s, thanks to films like "Night Train To Munich," and the outstanding "Odd Man Out" and "The Fallen Idol." Later, he'd also find success with films like "Trapeze," "Our Man In Havana," "The Agony and the Ecstasy" and "Oliver!," for which he won the Academy Award for Best Director, beating out Stanley Kubrick's "2001" and Gillo Pontecorvo's "The Battle of Algiers."
But Reed's undisputed masterpiece is "The Third Man," a 1949 film noir based on a screenplay by the great British writer Graham Greene. The film involves a writer of Westerns, Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten), who comes to post-war Vienna after being promised a job by his childhood friend Harry Lime. »

The James Bond films are notoriously made according to a tried and tested formula. Tabloids, websites and fan forums love to debate every component of this formula every time there is a new 007 adventure. In the build up to Skyfall there has already been debate over the casting of Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris. The most talked about ingredient of any Bond film however is always the title song, and who will sing it.
British singers and songwriters are inevitably linked to the franchise. Before Quantum of Solace in 2008, the press remained convinced, even when the evidence told them otherwise, that the late Amy Winehouse would sing the iconic tune, with Mark Ronson producing. But eventually the American pairing of Jack White and Alicia Keys ended up singing the disappointing Another Way to Die. This time the rumours have circulated around Adele, whose last album, 21, has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. »

James Bond (Daniel Craig) and the classic Aston Martin DB5.
In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of James Bond, this week several online news sites are slowly beginning to trickle out information about their recent visits to the set of Skyfall—the 23rd installment in the legendary 007 franchise. Included in this story are some new photos from the film, a sampling of which you can see on this page.
We’re loving the return of the classic Aston Martin DB5 in the film (which first appeared in 1964′s Goldfinger), and hope it gets more action than the quick circular cameo it had in Casino Royale. It’s a great homage to classic Bond.
Now if they would only use Shirley Bassey for the theme (we can dream).
Using the player at the bottom of this page you will also find some exclusive Skyfall on-set video interviews.

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol pulled in an incredible $650 million-plus at the worldwide box office, making it the most successful film of the action franchise. But it was almost an impossible mission to pull off for The Incredibles director Brad Bird, who chose the Tom Cruise tentpole to make his live-action feature debut and transition from animated films.
"We were kind of shootin' from the hip," the Oscar winner tells ETonline, revealing that he was working in a production environment that "in some ways is exhilarating and in other ways is completely frightening."
Cruise Calls Death-Defying 'M:i-4' Stunt 'Tricky'
"You were feeding the beast; the money was going to be spent whether you knew what you were doing or not, so you had to rush ahead of the train and lay down tracks," he explains of the mega-budgeted project.
For such a crackerjack, tightly paced film, it's amazing how the 54-year-old filmmaker delivered a truly coherent narrative »

It has been a year since Sidney Lumet passed away on April 9, 2011. Here is our retrospective on the legendary filmmaker to honor his memory. Originally published April 15, 2011.
Almost a week after the fact, we, like everyone that loves film, are still mourning the passing of the great American master Sidney Lumet, one of the true titans of cinema.
Lumet was never fancy. He never needed to be, as a master of blocking, economic camera movements and framing that empowered the emotion and or exact punctuation of a particular scene. First and foremost, as you’ve likely heard ad nauseum -- but hell, it’s true -- Lumet was a storyteller, and one that preferred his beloved New York to soundstages (though let's not romanticize it too much, he did his fair share of work on studio film sets too as most TV journeyman and early studio filmmakers did).
His directing career stretched well over 50 years, »

A behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming James Bond movie Skyfall has been released, revealing new details from the set. Entertainment Tonight's Mark Steines revealed the car that Craig will be driving around in the film - the classic Aston Martin DB5 that was first introduced in the 1964 movie Goldfinger with Sean Connery as Bond. Skyfall has also recreated the London underground for a scene in which Daniel Craig runs through the Tube and onto the city streets. When Steines asked if the infamous blue Speedos worn by Craig in his first Bond movie Casino Royale would re-appear for Skyfall, Craig laughed and then hinted that there is "a little bit of swimming, a little bit of a nod (more) »

Say you’re putting together a syndicate. One of the first things that you are going to need is somebody to take care of your light work for you when words have run out. As a means of determining the appropriate skill set for this oh-so-important addition to your workforce, the Complex has assembled a ranking of some of the more legendary henchman ever to grace the screen. You know, as a way to gauge some of the qualities you might be looking for.
In ranking these heavies, extra points were earned for singularity of purpose, imperviousness to pain, and skill within the realm of hand-to-hand combat. Points were taken away for any actions tantamount to a betrayal of the henchman’s employer, or conspicuous behavior likely to cause more trouble than harm.
Here’s how they shook out.
10. Clarence Boddicker (Robocop, 1987)
Strengths: Professional henching is a tough, competitive business. »
