James Bond Codename Theory: K.I.A.
Before we start, I want to thank MI6 Community for the banner of this post. The original post can be found here. Now, onto the article! Ever since 1969, the James Bond series has been plagued by this theory. The “Codename Theory” is a theory even supported in the 1967 spoof of Casino Royale. That…
Drive: An Art Film For The Rest Of Us
Drive was directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and released in 2011. Drive received massive praise at the Cannes Film Festival, including winning the award for “Best Director”. Ryan Gosling plays “Driver”, and he is a mechanic/stunt-driver during the day and moonlights as a getaway driver for criminals at night. He falls for his neighbor, Irene…
Quick Glimpse: “You Have Once Again Entered the World of Survival-Horror”
When I was young and watched Bond with my grandmother, I would also watch horror movies with her. Modern (well, then-modern) movies like Ghost Ship, classics like Night of the Living Dead, and everything in between. The downside of this whole deal was that I hated watching horror. Not because I was scared, but because…
Quick Glimpse: The Name’s Burns… Rory Burns
Yes, I’m a massive fan of James Bond. Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved watching the movies, playing the video games, reading the books, and digging deep into the world of the most famous secret agent.

Quick Glimpse: My Magical Movie Life
Who doesn’t love movies? Growing up, my movie choice was pretty limited, however.Not because of overbearing parents; it was because we didn’t have many movies in the house. I only had a VCR and TV in my bedroom for years, and my four main tapes were Goldeneye (probably not something a toddler should watch but…
Quick Glimpse: A Virtual Life
That title is actually from a character I love named B-Mo from Adventure Time, but this is about video games. Like I said, my first video game was based off the James Bond movie, Goldeneye. I loved this game and it was certainly a fantastic entrance to video games. When video game conventions still happened,…
