UPCOMING REVIEWS FOR THE WEEK OF 7/12/10 - 7/18/10

NOTE: In several interviews, Christopher Nolan has stated that the James Bond films had a strong influence on his upcoming action/thriller INCEPTION. Given the fact that INCEPTION opens next Friday, and given that the next Bond film has been put on indefinite hold (perhaps - GASP! - even cancelled), now's the time to commemorate the Bond movies. Next week will feature daily reviews of select Bond films - some great, others not quite so....

7/12/10 - # 31 - GOLDFINGER: 1964 (AKA: PENELOPE GALORE DECIDES TO CHANGE HER NAME TO SOMETHING MORE PROVOCATIVE)

7/13/10 - # 32 - FOR YOUR EYES ONLY: 1981 (AKA: JAMES BOND AND THAT CHICK FROM ICE CASTLES? W. T. F.)

7/14/10 - # 33 - LICENCE TO KILL: 1989 (AKA: CROCKETT AND BOND. TUBBS IS GONNA BE PISSED...)

7/15/10 - # 34 - THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH: 1999 (AKA: A WORLD WHERE NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS LOOK LIKE DENISE RICHARDS)

7/16/10 - # 35 - INCEPTION: 2010 (AKA: PLEASE GOD LET THIS BE AWESOME)

7/17/10 - # 36 - CASINO ROYALE: 2006 (AKA: BLONDE BOND)

7/18/10 - # 37 - QUANTUM OF SOLACE: 2008 (AKA: BLONDE BOND GOES BONKERS)
