The Last of the Secret Agents? (1966)
Marty Allen and Steve Rossi — who used the catchphrase “Hello Dere!” — were a comedy from 1957 until 1968 that appeared on over 700 television shows including 44 appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. This film is their spy spoof, featuring Nancy Sinatra acting and singing “The Last of the Secret Agents,” which is […]
REPOST: Condorman (1981)
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This movie originally ran on the site a year ago, but it’s so related to James Bond week — and such an unappreciated film — I decided to bring it back. The last time I saw this movie, I was 7 years old and watching it under the stars at the Spotlight 88 […]

As a teen, Toran found success as an actor on the WB Network (7th Heaven) and as an animated voice artist for the Disney and Nickelodeon Networks (Hey, Arnold!). […]
A View to a Kill (1985)
This is Roger Moore’s final Bond appearance and what a way to go — having a love scene with Grace Jones when he’s all of 57 years old. For his part, Moore would say, “I was only about four hundred years too old for the part.” He was not a fan of this movie, as […]
