"A man was arrested in London last week for imitating James Bond. He wasn’t going around and ordering vodka martinis though, he had numerous fake IDs, replica guns, and even a personalized wallet styled after From Russia With Love. That’s dedication right there. We’ve had James Bond imitators in the movies for more than 40 years, but sadly none of them have ever been arrested. Although thankfully, a few of them have been entertaining. Check out the James Bond knockoffs in the list below, as we ramp up towards Quantum of Solace.

"The best time for a Get Smart movie would have been the late ’60s, when the original television series was still on the air. In fact, there was a theatrical Get Smart film in the works during the run of the show, but it was canceled when the theatrical release of Munster, Go Home! bombed at the box office. Many years later, in 1980, a Get Smart feature titled The Nude Bomb was released to theaters, but it also performed poorly. Now we’re getting a remake version starring Steve Carell in the role that was so iconically defined by the late Don Adams. Will it do the show justice? Reportedly the budget was $80 million, a significant amount of which was probably put towards pointless effects. But the best thing Warner Bros. could have done with that money is to give a large amount to series creators Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, who probably even today could churn out a better script than Failure to Launch scribes Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember. Despite its lack of original Get Sm "

"I have to admit, I have been away from the Bond franchise for some time. The last one I saw was 'Goldeneye', and while I thought it was a cut above the previous few entries, I was getting a little tired of the concept, thinking "how long can they keep milking this?" -- Well we had heard that this new Bond Daniel Craig was worth a look, so we ventured out to our local multiplex to check him out around December. Additionally, the 'Encore' channel started running all the old Bonds around the New Year (and if you got the 'on demand' option with your cable service, you could watch all of them at your leisure in widescreen no less!), so around here, we've been thoroughly drenched in Bond for the past few months. This weekend, we were snowed in and watched one of the more recent Pierce Brosnan entries, so with all this is mind, I thought I'd do an overview of the 007 pantheon (at least the ones I've seen, who knows how many times by now).I have to start ...

"Aside from Whirlpool, I've been on a real losing streak when it comes to movies. Although I've seen a lot of bad ones latley, Casino Royale is in a class of its own. You just look at the scren and go "what the f*** were they thinking?" And despite having four of my favorite performers ever: (Peter Sellers, Orson Welles, Woody Allen and Jean-Paul Belmondo), the film wastes all of their talent and really blows. The movie belongs to one of the oddest of movie genres, the epic comedy. These gargauntuan bearers of mirth were popular in the 60's after the sucess of Stanley Kramer's It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Mad World. Although mostly forgotten now, it was fashionable to take an all star cast put them into a very long comedy with lots of stunt work. Not only did the genre die out, few of them seem funny today-which is certainly true of Casino Royale. That novel was the only James Bond book by Ian Fleming not to be bought by Albert R. Broccoli, and thus was never (until 2006) shot as a st ... "

"Hopefully the recent release of the new Casino Royale will prompt some to watch the 1967 version. Considering that so many Bond "fans" try to cover up the existence of this old classic, it may be that it stays buried. What a tragedy.You see, the 1967 production of Casino Royale is actually an art film. But it's an art film that is under no circumstances to be taken seriously. Every step of the way, the film is a strange combination of comedy, surreality, and just plain confusion, all built upon the improbability of the James Bond mythos. But, that's actually the point of the film. The whole thing is an exercise in craziness. The goal was to take the user from the comfortable convention of the English gentleman spy into a world that completely fails to hold any coherency. It does so slowly, at a walking pace. The layers of incomprehension are slowly added and woven in, all using the suspension of disbelief needed to enter into Bond's world in the first place.All too often C ... "
