Casino Royale [2006]

starring: Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Eva Green, Claudio Santamaria, Jeffrey Wright
directed by: Martin Campbell

Release Date September 17, 2007
For the original series of James Bond films, Sean Connery defined the part quite effectively. Since Connery other actors such as George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan have attempted to portray this persona with the same elan with varying degrees of success. In my opinion none have measured up to Connery in the qualities of an international British agent with unsurpassed physical skills, sophistication and attraction for women. None until now. Daniel Craig makes one heck of a Bond! He fits this role equally well. Thus this movie is quite successful. The locations-Italy, Montenegro, the Bahamas- are fantastic with wonderful photography. Some exotic, mind-dizzying technology is used but not too much. There are some exciting ... Read More:

Casino Royale (Deluxe Edition)

directed by: Martin Campbell

Release Date October 20, 2008
As one of the only 12 people who was genuinely delighted at Daniel Craig's casting when it was announced , I must admit I was more than a little worried about Casino Royale. Not the kind of paranoia that those newcomers who'd never experience the changing of the guard the series goes through every decade or the staggeringly venomous hate-mongering of the more fanatical Brosnan fans who felt compelled to start libellous hate-sites, though. After all those months of arguing that he was the perfect choice for the role (especially after some of the more moronic suggestions), was I setting myself up for a fall if he turned in a disappointing performance? Similarly there was the film itself. While the producers were making all the right noises about going ... Read More:

the film itself is great but to watch it on blu ray was a totally different experince. the picture sharpness and colours are the most impressive iv seen with details throughout being stunning. the sound qquality when played through 5.1 surround just add to the experience making this the most watchable blu ray i own atm ! on top of this the box it comes in looks good and the extras on the seperate disk make this a must buy at this price!

Casino Royale [Blu-ray] [2006]

starring: Daniel Craig, Claudio Santamaria, Jesper Christensen, Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright
directed by: Martin Campbell

Release Date March 19, 2007
As other reviewers have noted, there was a general feeling of unease when a small, relatively unknown actor was slated to be the next James Bond. We needn't have worried, however, since all such concerns are dissipated in the first few moments of this latest addition to the Bond stable.

The opening sequence in grainy black-and-white is completely unexpected, beautifully handled and surprisingly gritty, setting the tone for the rest of the film. Within the first quarter of an hour or so we have had one of the most imaginative openings to a Bond, followed by one of the finer title sequences, topped off by a vertiginous (especially in Blu Ray!) chase sequence which may have you gasping.

Excellent stuff from director, cast and crew. ... Read More:

Casino Royale (2 Disc Collector's Edition) [2006]

starring: Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen, Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright
directed by: Martin Campbell

Release Date March 19, 2007
Film franchises over the last couple of years have a found a great way to inject more energy into the series and try to head in a different artistic direction. And as with Batman, Bond has gone back to it's roots and recreated itself.

And it works, we get a slow edited film which may bore some - but it helps to establish depth to a new incarnation of a character most are already familiar with. There was uproar when Daniel Craig was announced as Bond - but after the release of Casino Royale he felt like a natural choice, infact after watching this it felt as though he'd played the character for years.

I really enjoyed Brosnan as Bond. He was perhaps my favourite, but the films were getting a little bit too ridiculous - but because ... Read More:

James Bond Ultimate Pierce Brosnan - Goldeneye/Tomorrow Never Dies/The World Is Not Enough/Die Another Day

starring: Pierce Brosnan, John Cleese, Halle Berry, Rosamund Pike, Michael Madsen
directed by: Martin Campbell, Roger Spottiswoode, Michael Apted, Lee Tamahori

Release Date November 27, 2006
Collecting the four movies featuring `official' Bond number five, Pierce Brosnan:

Goldeneye: Pierce Brosnan and Martin Campbell (director of the BBC's classic eco-thriller Edge Of Darkness) brought the Bond series back from the brink with this formulaic but rewarding effort, both a homage to, and an updating of, the old formula. Brosnan, in his debut as Bond, tries his hardest to flesh out the character, whilst Sean Bean is good value as the villain. Famke Janssen gives what is still her most memorable movie performance as the sexually voracious Xenia Onnatopp, but on the downside Judi Dench's luvvie, career-woman M makes her unwanted debut, Alan Cumming ponces around in that way that only Alan Cumming can, and Robbie Coltrane struggles with a Russian ...

Goldeneye [1995]

starring: Pierce Brosnan, Tcheky Karyo, Michael Kitchen, Desmond Llewelyn, Gottfried John
directed by: Martin Campbell

Release Date October 20, 2008
After six years in limbo as EON and the new owners of MGM/UA found themselves and the series locked in legal action at lawsuits, Timothy Dalton decided too much time had elapsed to renew his licence to kill, ushering in the Brosnan era. At the time hailed for `saving' the series (just as Dalton and Moore had been before him), the star's own bitter feud with the producers and the success of Daniel Craig in reinventing the role seem to have combined with disappointment with some of Brosnan's subsequent Bond films to the point where it's harder and harder to find any Bond fans with a good word to say about his tenure. But in 1995 GoldenEye was certainly welcomed with open arms and blockbuster business and it holds up remarkably well.

If there's a problem with ... Read More:

James Bond - Goldeneye (Ultimate Edition 2 Disc Set) [1995]

starring: Pierce Brosnan, Tcheky Karyo, Michael Kitchen, Desmond Llewelyn, Gottfried John
directed by: Martin Campbell

Release Date July 17, 2006
James Bond (Brosnan) investigates the mysterious dealings of Goldeneye, a satellite which was kidnapped by a group of Russians.

Pierce Brosnan's (Mamma Mia!) first role as the famous British spy is probably his finest to date with specific and exciting acting, not to mention he is the cheekiest and smartest Bond since Connery.

Six years Bond fanatics had to wait after `Licence to Kill' was released in 1989 and weren't we treated? Goldeneye has everything a Bond fan could ever wish for, high action, attractive female leads and a fantastic trio of villains to make the ultimate knockout action thriller.

Brosnan's performance is excellent and really helps gain that edge of your seat excitement but also an ultimate relaxed feeling to. Bond's ... Read More:

James Bond Ultimate Golden Triple Pack - Goldfinger/The Man With The Golden Gun/Goldeneye

starring: Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Bean, Famke Janssen, Robbie Coltrane
directed by: Guy Hamilton, Martin Campbell

Release Date November 27, 2006
I have to say, I agree. I always said to my friends, "How come the three best Bond movies all have Gold in." My friend said "Gold means good!"

The best Bond films are in this pack. Sean Connery confronts a deadly enemy in Goldfinger, who turns everything into gold - Auric Goldfinger. In The Man With The Golden Gun, Christopher Lee stars as Francisco Scaramanga, an assassin who plans to use solar energy for destructive purposes, and GoldenEye. GoldenEye stars Pierce Brosnan as 007 James Bond.

Bergerac - Series 1 - Complete [1981]

starring: John Nettles, Mela White, Annette Badland, Terence Alexander, Sean Arnold
directed by: Don Leaver, Henry Herbert, Ian Toynton, Laurence Moody, Martin Campbell

Release Date May 08, 2006
The series was execelent, throughly enjoyable. It was as I reamembered the original programme. It encouraged me to buy othe series. I really like John Nettles.
The only thing was why did the BBC waite so long before releasing this series as they are not doing for others.
