A Little SOmething Different...
Special Series
From time to time I get in the mood to do a series of reviews around a theme.

Every October...We Get Freaky
31 Days to Scare

Every day in October, you can expect a horror film review, and I’m hoping you’ll get introduced to a few you haven’t heard of.

Leading up to the release of Skyfall in November 2012, I went back and reviewed all of the previous Bond films and while I skipped a review of Spectre in 2015, I did come back for Daniel Craig’s last Bond adventure, No Time to Die in 2021.
Here’s hoping I can get you reacquainted with Mr. Bond and his many faces.
