The Bond Experiment #2: From Russia, With Love

on June 2, 2011
Last night after church we headed out to Gary & Tina's for our second round of Bond entertainment. (And, of course, to see Sarah who is their sweet Great Pyrenees/ yellow lab mix.)

One of my very favorite dogs. Ever.

We're still in the Sean Connery stage, this time with the second film of the series: From Russia, With Love. (Which always strikes me as a strange title.)

Nonetheless! While I enjoyed Dr. No, this one was much more cohesive. Everything was there to drive along the plot, which was nice. The head of Spectre has now made his debut with his white cat, as has Q. And there was only one main Bond girl this time, which helped it not feel quite so fragmented.

Also, I really liked the whole segment on the Orient Express. How can you not love a mystery on a train?

So let's keep a Top 5 running list, shall we?

1. From Russia, With Love
2. Dr. No

Maybe I should wait until we get at least five films? Hm...
