Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while. I have these ideas of posting things every day. Of turning this site into an old-school blog where I write movie reviews, casually talk about the music I’m listening to, and maybe tell stories about my life. But when it comes to actually writing I get distracted and nothing comes out. Maybe this week I’ll get better at it.
Until then we’ll talk about James Bond. Several years ago the folks at Cinema Sentries got together and reviewed all of the James Bond movies. I got to talk about Octopussy, a movie I hadn’t seen since I was a kid (and haven’t seen since I wrote this review). It wasn’t as good as I remembered, and it certainly didn’t live up to that ridiculous title, but it was still kind of fun.
Anyway, here’s my review.
Classic Roger Moore Bond. A puff piece. Overly smooth, smug, cheesy and self -satisfied.
That’s a perfect way to put it.
