Bond in the casinos
28 April 2013 9:25 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
As one of the most iconic film characters of all time, you’re bound to have caught a James Bond film at some point. From the very first adventure in 1962, Dr. No, the series has continued to surprise and entertain viewers. Based on creator Ian Fleming’s own love of gambling, one of Bond’s regular habits is to bet big on different casino games; having done so in many of his 23 film outings. For many young viewers, these films probably represent the first time they’ll have seen a casino too – but which films contain the most memorable casino scenes?
Dr No
The first film produced in the series, it’s also the first we’re treated to the immortal line “Bond…James Bond” delivered by Sean Connery with the aloof disregard you would expect from a super spy. It’s during a game of chemin de fer, a »

Catching Up with Dame Shirley Bassey
10 March 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Nevermind the movie stars - it was Dame Shirley Bassey who delivered one of the most memorable highlights at this year's Academy Awards. Performing her iconic James Bond theme "Goldfinger" as part of the film franchise's 50th anniversary, the singer, who also sang the Bond themes for "Diamonds are Forever" and "Moonraker," proved she's still got the pipes (and a physique to die for) at 76 years old. Born in Wales, she started singing in her teens in local clubs and earned early fame with chart-topping hits like "As I Love You" in 1959. After reaching American audiences with her Bond themes, »
Reel Ink #2 Part 1 – March 2013
8 March 2013 5:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The first part of my first ‘Reel Ink’ of 2013 is a bit of a catch up, as this instalment of the column features books which were all published in 2012.
Reel Ink #2 Part 1 includes the autobiography of a member of a Hollywood dynasty, a look at the city of Los Angeles within the context of the film industry’s role in its history and the evolution of the city’s image, and an examination of how politics and social and cultural agendas impacted and shaped ‘70s American cinema.

Bond 24: 5 Reasons Why Blofeld Must Return
5 March 2013 2:27 PM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
It all began with From Russia with Love when Blofeld, James Bond’s greatest adversary made his first appearance in the form of a sinister voice holding a white turkish angora cat. The voice purred forth evil as the hands fed the cat fish from a tank and motioned for the death of others to be carried out. From that film until the return of Sean Connery in Diamonds are Forever, Blofeld makes a steady appearance as the main villain controlling a secret organization named Spectre.
Then it just stops with everything unresolved. He is brought back one last time in For Your Eyes Only to be unceremoniously dropped down a shaft by a grinning Roger Moore. The End.
That’s no way to treat Bond’s greatest villain. There’s got to be more to it, some part of the story that has yet to be told. Ernst Stavro »

Time For The Next 'Skyfall'?
4 March 2013 9:55 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Adele is reportedly continuing her relationship with James Bond.
After Adele recorded the title theme song for 2012's "Skyfall," an unnamed (and potentially questionable) source told the UK's Sun that Adele will record another theme song for the next James Bond film.
“Producers are thrilled by how well the song has been received and hope Adele’s presence on the next film will replicate that success," the source said.
The Sun also reports that the producers behind "Skyfall" want Adele to follow in the footsteps of Dame Shirley Bassey, who recorded the themes for past James Bond films, including 1964's "Goldfinger" and 1971's "Diamonds Are Forever."
Adele and Bassey were both featured at the Academy Awards last month: Adele performed "Skyfall," while Bassey sang "Goldfinger."
Adele has yet to comment on a future with the James Bond franchise. She was long rumored to sing the "Skyfall" theme, revealing in 2011 that she was involved. »

After british singer Adele won a Golden Globe, Brit Award and an Academy Award for the theme song of the 23rd Bond movie, Skyfall, it would come as no surprise that the Bond producers would want her back. Well, The Sun is reporting that Adele has signed with the franchise producers to perform the theme song for the next secret agent movie and "they hope she’ll go on to match 007 queen Dame Shirley Bassey." Shirley Bassey is the responsible for several Bond famous themes, such as Diamonds Are Forever, Mooraker and Goldfinger. According to sources of the site, "producers are thrilled by how well the song has been received and hope Adele’s presence on the next film will replicate that success" and "they want her to become as synonymous with Bond as Dame Shirley".

Dame Shirley Bassey and Halle Berry paid tribute to James Bond at this evening's Oscars.
Berry, who starred in Pierce Brosnan's final Bond movie Die Another Day, introduced a video montage highlighting 007's 50-year screen history before Bassey took to the stage.
The Welsh music icon sang her hit 'Goldfinger', the title track from Sean Connery's 1964 007 outing. It marked the first time that Bassey has performed at the Oscars.
Bassey also provided the Bond themes for 1971'a Diamonds Are Forever and 1979's Roger Moore blockbuster Moonraker.
She has sold 135 million records and made more than 44 albums in a career spanning six decades.

Oscars 2013: Ex-James Bond girl Halle Berry celebrates 50 years of 007
24 February 2013 6:45 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Halle Berry is the only Oscar-winning actress yet to have been a "Bond girl," so her role at the 85th Academy Awards was highly appropriate.
If only there had been more to what she introduced.
Berry actually won her award for "Monster's Ball" while she was filming "Die Another Day" in 2002, and she led Sunday's (Feb. 24) tribute to the 50th anniversary of the James Bond movie franchise -- advertised for days by ABC as one of the major highlights of the ceremony.
First up was the expected montage of action clips representing all of the actors who have played Agent 007 "officially," backed by a medley of familiar Bond melodies -- capped by arguably the series' biggest music hit, "Goldfinger," belted live by its original crooner, Dame Shirley Bassey (who also sang "Diamonds Are Forever" and "Moonraker" for the series).
And then ... a commercial break? And more awards? That's all the »

Hollywood's Biggest Night
24 February 2013 10:46 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Los Angeles — Some firsts and other rarities are possible at Sunday night's Academy Awards. But if the Oscars could be just a little less predictable, the show might really be one for the record books.
Ben Affleck's "Argo" looks like it will uniquely claim best picture without a directing nomination, while "Lincoln" filmmaker Steven Spielberg and star Daniel Day-Lewis are favored to join exclusive lists of three-time Oscar winners.
If some longshots came in, the night could produce two more three-time acting winners – Sally Field from "Lincoln" and Robert De Niro for "Silver Linings Playbook."
We could also have the oldest or youngest acting winner ever – 86-year-old "Amour" star Emmanuelle Riva and 9-year-old Quvenzhane (Kwa-vehn-ja-nay) Wallis of "Beasts of the Southern Wild."
The ABC television broadcast itself could set some fresh highs or lows. Oscar overseers keep talking about pacing and trimming fat from a ceremony that's dragged on interminably, »

Oscars: 'Chicago' cast to reunite as Academy Award presenters

They had it coming…
The producers of the Oscars telecast have announced the music-heavy Feb. 24 show will feature a reunion of the cast of Chicago. Renée Zellweger, Richard Gere, Queen Latifah, and Catherine Zeta-Jones (who won a supporting actress award for her role in the film) will attend the event as presenters.
It’s no surprise that Academy Awards producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron were able to pull the strings necessary to get them all together again — they served as executive producers of the movie musical, which won Best Picture in 2003.
This will be a very song-and-dancy-y Oscars. Host »

Tonight's Double-0 MovieMovie: Never Say Never Again Starring Sean Connery
11 February 2013 5:01 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
"Well, you did say you'd catch me later."
After 1971's Diamonds Are Forever, Sean Connery proclaimed that he would "never" play James Bond again, and yet, 12 years later, Connery would be back for 1983's Never Say Never Again, a title suggested by Connery's wife, Micheline. At 52, Connery played an aging Bond in Never Say Never Again, who is reactivated by MI6 in order to track down two stolen nuclear weapons.
Essentially a remake of 1965's Thunderball, Never Say Never Again is not considered "canon" as it was not produced by Eon Productions, the company that was responsible for all the other Bond movies. However, James Bond creator Ian Fleming had originally conceived of Thunderball as a screenplay, co-written with screenwriter Jack Whittingham and writer-director Kevin McClory. When Fleming later went on to write Thunderball as a novel, Whittingham and McClory were not credited, but after taking Fleming to court, McClory »
