James Bond Quiz: Which is the Coolest James Bond Film?

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008
Joel Owens asked:


James Bond is no Superman. Though this may be true, his propensity for saving the world can rival that of any popular superhero we know. With his martini-toting allure and appeal that every man wants to have and every woman wants, James Bond has become the very epitome of masculinity on and off screen. No one can deny it. James Bond films are a phenomenon in Hollywood box office history with millions of ticket and merchandise sales under this franchise’s belt.

Almost 45 years of BONDage gave us 22 007 films. In every offering, we James Bond actors put on their moves to channel the Bond suaveness. In these films, we found ourselves awestruck by action-packed scenes, galvanizing gadgets and vile villains that made the viewing experience more exciting. So relive the excitement and reminisce as we look back at some James Bond films that made our jaws drop.

5. Dr. No

This film first launched the Bond fever on the silver screen that’s why it made the list. Aside from that, this film has introduced us to the world of suaveness as Bond takes care of the deed to save the world from megalomaniacs. The exciting storyline brings Bond to the depths of Jamaica to look into the suspicious disappearance of another British spy. He faces the sinister Dr. Julius No, a demented scientist who schemes on firing rocket missiles to destroy the western world. In this film, we do not only see Bond duke it out with the vilest nemeses. We also see him bag the very first James Bond girl, Ursula Andress.

4. From Russia With Love

This 007 film has introduced us to a lot of fascinating James Bond villains like the SPECTRE, our favorite spy’s worst archenemy. Not only that. This is the film where we first catch a glimpse of Ernst Stavro Blofeld…well, even if it was just his hand, and his Persian cat.

This is the first 007 movie focused on the secret agent’s love ventures and action adventures. The plot is basically about the Russians sending a voluptuous female spy, Daniell Banachi, along with other antiheroes to annihilate Bond and stop his conquest to save the world.

3. Diamonds are Forever

James Bond goes on a cat-and-mouse chase to foil his vilest enemy, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. He goes to countries like Japan, Egypt and Maui to finally put an end to the man who is responsible for the death of Tracy, one of the many women he has gotten himself involved with. The most fascinating thing about this movie is that we see Bond suffocating the bald evil of a man, Blofeld.

Just when you think the chase between these two is over, the plot thickens. Bond goes on a spying-spree to investigate a diamond-smuggling operation in South Africa. The mission takes him to the City of Sins where he meets the voluptuous villain, Plenty O’toole, and foils the scheming she was trying to pull. Then, there are the cool gadgets like the moon buggy and the submarine that the characters use in the race against time to save the world. When he is already about to do the final kill to finish the mission, he is surprised to find out that Blofeld is indeed alive and now has a clone! As always, our spy survives the mission and goes on doing the things he’s best at—spying and womanizing.

2. Die Another Day

James Bond is trapped in North Korea after a failed mission that almost cost him his life and honor. Being a true spy, he survives all the torture and when a prisoner trade has been done by Korea and the world peace forces, he goes back to England accused of being a traitor for spilling secret information. Bond pursues the enemies and once again, is commissioned by the government to go on a mission to stop terrorism.

The story, soundtrack and the overall appeal of the movie are awesome, although this movie might be too long for some audience to stomach. However, I admit that what made this Bond film join the roster of top Bond films, are the gadgets. That invisible James Bond vehicle is just stunning. With a technology like that, it is no wonder that Bond is able to dodge the fastest bullet and survive the harshest explosives.

1. Tomorrow Never Dies

Tomorrow Never Dies revolves around a demented media mogul trying to make superpowers of the world clash against each other to create pandemonium. Together with Wan Lin, the tough Asian chick portrayed by Michelle Yeoh, Bond fights the mastermind and brings world peace back.

The plot may be common, and the ending a usual mission accomplished for Bond. However, this movie boasts of ass-kicking fight scenes that we haven’t seen so beautifully captured on camera. The James Bond girls in this movie are tough and believably lethal to boot. The gadgets are a big plus, as well. The BMW0il and BMW1200 motorcycle are eye candies especially when Bond rides them and had an uncanny car chase scene with Michelle Yeoh. No doubt about it, this movie is the definitive piece among the 22 James Bond films.



Filming in Israel – Filming Short Segments

Sunday, June 15th, 2008
Sharon Schaveet asked:


As an experienced producer and provider of production services in Israel for foreign crews and TV networks filming in Israel, I provide my services to each and every format crews want to shoot: feature films, documentaries, TV commercials, music videos and high-profile exhibition videos. A lot of crews come to shoot for a week, two weeks or even a month; they film documentary shows or parts of series all over the country and visit different locations.

Yet frequently I am asked for some ideas to shoot short, content-driven segments, which focus on one particular aspect of the Holy Land, the three religions or certain archaeological sites and their history. I have compiled a small but compact list of filming short segments (60 or 120 sec) for crews filming in Israel, which should give filmmakers some ideas what they could focus on.

Filming in Israel – Future Prophecies Segment in Jerusalem

Since the beginning of time, prophecies and their human messengers have inspired mankind, causing great excitement and anxiety of what the future might hold for each and every one of us. There are plenty of prophecies connected to Jerusalem, the holiest city in the world, and if a film crew in Israel wants to focus on prophecies and adequate locations, here are some suggestions: 

The Mount of Olives – the site of the Second Coming

The Himnon Valley – the Valley of Hell, stage to Judgement Day

The Kidron Valley – the Dry Bones Prophecy surrounding the tombs

The Golden Gate – the prophecy which sees Jesus walking triumphantly through

the Golden Gate into the city of Jerusalem

Filming in Israel – Nazareth Segment

Beautiful old Nazareth is a very important site to Christianity. Jesus of Nazareth spent his boyhood years here before moving to Capernaum to begin his ministry. There are a number of wonderful locations which crews can visit in one day and edit a great segment as an introduction to Jesus’ life and times.  

The town of Nazareth – old streets, marketplace

The House of Mary and Mary’s Spring

The Church of Annunciation

The Prophecy of the Birth of Jesus – the land of Zebulon and Napthali

Filming in Israel – King Herod

King Herod is often referred to as the Greatest Builder of Ancient Times, and the are numerous ruins around the country which pay tribute to his extraordinary visions and architectural adventures. A segment about Kind Herod should definitely include:

The Herodian – Herod’s Palace, near Bethlehem

The Port of Caesarea – also recommended for underwater archaeology

The Antipatris – on the road from Caesarea to Jerusalem

The Cypros – in Jericho

The Temple Mount and Western Wall – reflecting on the reconstruction of the second temple

The Second Temple Model – to be seen in the Israel Museum

Filming in Israel – Archaeological Excavations in Progress

Digging with archaeological experts on the many sites around the country is not only a popular activity for tourists and archaeology fan. Many crews join one or the other dig throughout their shoot in Israel; the choice of the site depends much on the focus of their film. Here is a list of archaeological sites that have continuous excavations:

City of David – located at the southern tip of Temple Mount

Tzipori – also known as Sepphoria, just a few km north of Nazareth, great mosaic floors

Jacob’s Ford – up in the North, ongoing digs with Prof. Ronnie Ellenblum

Tel Megiddo – the biblical Armageddon, the cradle of Archaeology in Israel, ongoing excavations have uncovered the layers of more than 30 cities

Tel Tsafit – close to Kfar Menachem about 40 min south of Jerusalem, the site is connected to the battle between David and Goliath

Filming in Israel – The Way to Bethlehem

Crews filming in Israel regularly visit Bethlehem to film the stunning Church of Nativity. For crews interested in illustrating Mary’s and Jospeh’s way to Bethlehem, there are some more suggestions here:

The Model of the Second Temple (Israel Museum) – Mary and Jospeh stop on their way to give praise at the temple

Church of the Nativity – the birthplace of Jesus

The town of Bethlehem

Surrounding fields with shepherds and old olive trees

Mount Zion – Mary is said to have fallen in eternal sleep here

This is merely a glimpse of what can be done when filming in Israel – the country’s historical sites, the archaeology and the landscape surrounding them never seize to amaze me! Furthermore, the above locations are also covered in our Israel / Christian footage archive of Biblical Productions, for anyone interested in acquiring archival footage.
