This film was previously reviewed in September 2022 as part of our TIFF coverage. From writer-director Rian Johnson, the highly anticipated Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery features an impressive lineup of...

Rian Johnson is a man who loves breaking rules. He broke just about every rule in the book when he was given the reins to Star Wars, and some of the most unpleasant people on the internet are still giving him...

At a time when white supremacists are marching in the streets, “Ocean’s Eleven in Trump’s America” could have easily become a two-hour middle finger to the Bible Belt. So perhaps the most surprising...

1. Daniel Craig will return as Bond. Obviously. Well, that was predictable. Proving that all it takes is a dumptruck full of money, Daniel Craig has been talked out of slashing his wrists and into another...

Preposterous surfing in the hostile waters off North Korea. Perhaps the least realistic torture scene in cinematic history. An improbably gorgeous spy arising from the Caribbean Sea. Another round of...

With today's news appearing to confirm what we all suspected - that Daniel Craig will not return as 007 - who are the best candidates to take over the most coveted role in British film? Tom Hiddleston...

There's a new James Bond film out! Not sure if you're aware of it, there hasn't been much written about it. It’s meant to be very good indeed and, it turns out, it’s actually the 24th in a series of films...

What do you get if you mix dazzling good looks and irresistible charm with an array of outlandish gadgets and a pretentious signature cocktail? Only the most iconic movie character of all time. Yup, you...

With the Spectre of the next Bond film looming on the horizon, here at ORWAV we've been revisiting that age-old question: just who is the best Bond*? Is it Sean Connery, the man who defined the role? Or...

Daniel Craig is the ideal Bond. He encapsulates everything that Bond is and has evolved to be since 007 first emerged into existence from the smoky Royale-les-Eaux casino in Ian Fleming’s 1953 novel Casino...

Spectre’s plot is simple enough, and largely follows the same beats as Skyfall: a sinister figure from Bond’s past, interfering bureaucrats, parts of London being blown up. This isn’t necessarily a...

Timothy Dalton got a bit of a raw deal when he finally relented to take on the mantle of Bond, James Bond in 1987. He was first asked 20 years before in 1967, but felt he was far too young at only 21 years...

No matter what Eon do to keep 007 a part of the cultural moment - Brosnan's inherent '90s-ness, Craig's impassive reactions to things like The Internet - Bond is not fundamentally a modern character. Even in...

George Lazenby is James Bond. This was an indisputable fact in 1968 when the young Australian model convinced producer Albert R. Broccoli to let him pick up the reins from Sean Connery. Whilst Lazenby is...

Right. Let’s get this done quickly and not waste any time or, heaven forfend, an entire feature on this “debate”: Sean Connery is the best Bond. No ifs, no buts, no “Timothy Dalton brought a much...
