The Name's Blog...James Blog: A Look at Skyfall's Intro and An Underrated Bond Classic

I may not be a James Bond fanatic, but I do recognize when a great Bond movie comes out. Casino Royale was a fantastic reboot for the franchise and a glimmer of what Bond can still do in this generation. Quantum of Solace was a misstep sadly, but not a franchise killer. However, everything I learn about Skyfall makes me incredibly excited. The director, the crew, the composer, the cast and so many of the elements/players involved in the film inspire so much potential and hope. One thing that has sealed the deal lately has been the reveal of the new theme song by Adele. Aptly titled "Syfall," I can just say you should listen to it and see for yourself how great it sounds.



Along with that, I want to shine a spotlight on an underrated Bond classic. For all the lavish and deserved praise "Goldeneye" on the N64 received, people tend to forget the other best Bond game ever made "Everything or Nothing." A high octane, well structured and very fun Bond romp, it highlighted the elements that make Bond movies enjoyable while having its own mark on the franchise. It also had one of my other favorite Bond intros with the title song, which is located below. See it in all of its Xbox/PS2 era awesomeness!
