Bond 22 Loses Helmer The 22nd film hits a brick wall...

Come on Babs, give jumbo-chin a shot!

Matthrew Vaughn should be given a chance at doing a Bond film, Just look at Layer Cake, Craig even acted like Bond in that film, but think they need to hurry up as Craig is losing his hair fast, Sean connery anyone? ... Read More
