Casino Royale was one of the best James Bond movies in decades, almost universally loved by critics and audiences, and was the biggest money-maker in the franchise’s history. The film proved that a stripped down, serious and gritty Bond film could score… Continue reading
I’ve been a little out of the loop for the last week, so this image of a Beowulf maquette has surely made the rounds, but since I still haven’t seen a ton of imagery from the new Bob Zemeckis motion captured film (footage from which I will be seeing next… Continue reading
