Houseboat

I will admit I had a few laughs with this movie. But the direction felt off and the dialoogue was terrible and in the hands of a more capable director, this movie would've been much more enjoyable as Sophia Loren, Cary Grant, and Harry Guardino were all enjoyable and seeing Grant and Guardino vie for Loren's affections would've been a funnier romantic comedy than what we received.

Earthquake Underground

This movie was atrocious. The overuse of CGI makes this movie look like a video game and the characters were annoying. Will not watch again.

The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood

This movie is one I feel like shouldn't have been made as it was so boring that I shut it off after 35 minutes of play and have no interest in finishing it as it was that bad. You can tell this film is missing Waylon Jennings, Sorrell Booke and Denver Pyle's presences.

The Man with the Golden Gun

This is the weakest Bond film in the Roger Moore era by a long shot, but it is definitely leaps and bounds better than Connery's weakest (Thunderball).

The weaknesses in this film do lie at Richard Maibaum's feet as he tried his hardest to turn Roger Moore into Sean Connery, but Roger Moore looked visually uncomfortable at times, especially during the scene when he had to slap Maud Adams around. But Christopher Lee does his best to save this film as he seems to be having a lot of fun in every scene he appears.

The Bond Girl, Mary Goodnight, is the worst I've ever seen as Mary Goodnight has no reason for being as stupid as she is due to her being an MI6 agent.

Also, the theme song is one of the worst I have ever heard as the hard sound doesn't go well with Lulu's vocals and almost makes me think Lulu can't sing when she was probably a fairly talented singer.

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.: 1x12 Crystal Hawks

This was a laugh riot. It is so cheesy its entertaining and Bruce Campbell seems like the oddest choice to play a person in a western.

Sheena Easton is hilarious as the episode's titular character. She doesn't like it when you call her affectionate terms like darling or honey, but you can't help but root for her.

Monsters and Mysteries in America

This is one of those guilty pleasure programs you watch to have a laugh. The stories are so unbelievably stupid and off the wall.

Dr. No

A good film, but it is definitely hurt by its low budget at times as the voices do tend to have a weird echo in certain scenes and the horrible filter for night time scenes make it almost impossible to see the characters on screen. But I will say that Ursula Andress' introductory scene still stands the test of time.

North Sea Hijack

This movie was equal parts exhilarating and funny. Roger Moore's character delivers some of the film's best lines.

Octopussy

Count me in the minority of fans who like this film. Orlov is an over the top ham and Maud Adams is a great Bond girl that shares great chemistry with Moore in my opinion as they were good friends in real life. I really feel this film rectified wrongs of The Man with The Golden Gun, although it brought in its own wrongs like the infamous Tarzan scream.

For Your Eyes Only

This is perhaps Roger Moore's best Bond film in terms of his acting. He is funny when he has to be, but you can see a tenderness in his blue eyes that you know he will not let you down.

I also love Sheena Easton's theme song as it brings tears to my eyes. The soundtrack as a whole is one of the best, if not the best, in the whole series.

Streets of Fire

This movie is so unusual and so odd. The acting is wooden and the script is terrible, but this film is like a train wreck that you can't take your eyes away from the screen because it is that intriguing. I will also give props to the soundtrack as the music is quite good and rather catchy.

This movie is actually pretty funny at times and the scenery is beautiful.

The Naked Face

This movie was riveting and the twist was unexpected.

From Russia with Love

This movie is without a doubt the best of the Sean Connery era. This movie perfected the henchmen formula as Robert Shaw is ruthless and although he gives a little bit in terms of height to Connery, his buff figure makes for a challenging match.

The Legend of Billie Jean

This movie is one of those that doesn't take itself seriously and it works to this movie's benefit here. Helen Slater does a great job as the title character and seems to be having the time of her life and it is a crying shame she didn't become a leading lady. Peter Coyote looks to be having fun as well. I also enjoy Yeardley Smith's character for her flippant use of profanity.

The Man Who Haunted Himself

The movie itself isn't anything special. But what makes it worth watching is Roger Moore's performance as he grows increasingly unhinged. His performance is so convincing that you feel yourself getting unhinged as well.

This movie is just a beautifully put together movie. The story is inspirational and it showcases the value of hard work and dedication.

Live and Let Die

Roger Moore's debut as Bond is one for the ages. I enjoyed the theme song as it was a nice break from John Barry's overuse of the brass and the movie righted virtually all the wrongs from Diamonds are Forever (namely getting rid of a bored Sean Connery). I will say this mvoie does have some wrongs here and there, but the wrongs are more in terms of some bad continuity moments (namely in Harlem and when Bond rescues Solitaire).

The Living Daylights

I will say this Bond movie is an above average entry into the series and the weakest of the five John Glen directed. I will say that the highlights of this movie are the soundtrack, with The Pretenders songs being the standout pieces over the titular theme along with Dalton's performance as an edgier Bond.

The negatives here are a rather pointless use of Felix Leiter as he serves absolutely no purpose to the plot whatsoever and you can almost tell the film was hastily rewritten at times to accomodate for the recasting of Bond from Pierce Brosnan to Timothy Dalton. I also feel like that with the film having three people trying hard to fight for screen time in their villanious roles, the main villain gets lost and you would be forgiven for thinking Koskov or Necros were the main villains given the amount of dialogue and screentime they have is quite immense when compared to Whitaker.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

This movie is an improvement over the previous two Sean Connery outings in Thunderball and You Only Live Twice, as it was quite evident that Connery was tired of the role. Lazenby does provide a breath of fresh air as you can almost see a twinkle in Bond's eyes that hasn't been seen since Goldfinger.

This is the worst Bond of the first 16 movies. The direction is just awful as the cameras can't keep up with the fight scene at the beginning of the movie and the ending was just atrocious. the ending was so bad that it destroyed the whole movie's few redeeming qualities involving Fiona and her character.

This film tries so hard to be Goldfinger, but unlike Goldfinger, nothing about Largo is memorable as a villain other than his eyepatch and his love of sharks. And the theme song itself is one I can't stand and was a waste of Sir Tom Jones musical talents as it tried so hard to be like Goldfinger with the brassy sound instead of having a sound suited to Jones' vocal abilites.

Licence to Kill

I can understand some of the gripes about this movie as the lower budget was evident towards the end of the movie and the overlighting of the sets cases some color run.
But I will say that this movie delivered where it matters most and that is the best plot since Live and Let Die. Ironically enough, this movie uses Live and Let Die's source material for inspiration with a drug dealer and David Hedison reprises his role of Felix Leiter. Also, the action scenes are some of the best and probably the best since For Your Eyes Only.
