Movie Notes: Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade
Synopsis
Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) teams up with his father Henry Jones (Sean Connery) on a quest for the Holy Grail. Unfortunately, the Nazis are also searching for the religious artifact.
Movie Notes: Never Say Never Again
This is odd Bond, not unlike On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Many feel it shouldn’t even be included in the canon, as it wasn’t produced by EON Productions. But it has one aspect making it somewhat worth seeing: Sean Connery.
Movie Notes: Goldfinger
You know Goldfinger is awesome even before loading it in the DVD player — it’s a pop culture landmark and a high point for the James Bond franchise. Even the title speaks “Bond” — much more so than a meandering one like The World Is Not Enough. There’s a professional (almost dare I say — golden) sheen to the whole affair, from Sean Connery’s comfort as the British spy to the heavy-set, slightly warped villans. Add as additional layers a brassy score, some cute ladies, and some inventive yet confident direction — and this film oozes class.
