Happy 50th Anniversary!

To honor Bond, I have created this blog, that give information about the characters, actors, movies (how much they made-grossed-) and also what they got critically.  I will also take a review from certain critics and my own critics (meaning I will review the films as well).

May James Bond live forever!!!!!!
