One of the Best Bond Calendars (4.0)

The "Bond Girls 2006 Calendar: The Women of 007" is one of the better ones. The balack & white photos from DR. NO, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, GOLDFINGER and DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER are outstanding. There is also a great color photograph of George Lazenby from ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.

Saving Grace (3.0)

Photography is a hobby of mine and a rather passionate hobby to be sure. However the photographs represented here are commonplace to say the least. There is no life, no vitality in the visuals. This is the world of James Bond. His world is dynamic and resourceful. These images are unfortunately contrary to that vision. Month after month you will find nothing better than that indelible image found on the cover of this calendar. They are getting rid of Pierce Brosnan and I just wonder who or what is next. Possibly the publicity photographer? The value of the Bond continues to diminish. Perhaps the one small saving Grace (excuse the pun) is that introspective shot of Grace Jones from A VIEW TO A KILL.

WOW (5.0)

This is a fantastic collection of pictures of the James Bond girls. I have been looking for years for some of these photos. You really can't go wrong.

Average of 12 Out of 20 (3.0)

There are 12 months in the year and 20 Official James Bond films. 12 out of 20 isn't bad. That's 60 percent. 60 percent of 5 stars is 3 stars. That's about how I would rate this James Bond calendar. The photos of Grace Jones from A VIEW TO A KILL and Diana Rigg (with George Lazenby) from ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE look the best.

Not as advertised--not a "Classic" Calendar (1.0)

This is anything but a "classic" calendar. It is a fine calendar, but it is not "classic" unless you consider Halle Berre--although beautiful--and Timothy Dalton, as classic. Roger Moore scenes appear 3x, whereas Sean Connery only appears twice, the same number of times as does Timothy Dalton. Disappointing . . .
