For those of you new to reading this space, this is a feature that I try to write sporadically. I’ve asked people I know to recommend some of their lesser-known favorite movies for me to watch. Once I watch them, I try to combine my thoughts on the movie, with some observations about the recommendation…
Let the Music Do The Talking ("Another Way to Die" MP3)
007 news today as the theme song for the 22nd Bond movie, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, leaked online yesterday. I’m as big a Bond fan as there is, but the songs have always left me rather amused – mostly because I find more often than not, that they don’t hold up very well as a single…
