Documentary that sets out to tell the story behind the making of the
James Bond films. When American producers Harry Saltzman and Albert
Broccoli acquired the rights to adapt Ian Fleming's 'James Bond' novels
for the big screen they couldn't have dreamt of the success they would
find. However, as the franchise became a licence to print money
conflict inevitably emerged, causing Saltzman and Broccoli to fall out
with their lead actor, Sean Connery, then each other.
Despite the increasingly fraught drama behind the scenes, the on-screen
drama of the Bond films has continued to draw audiences to the cinema
50 years after the release of the first film, 'Dr No' (1962). Among the
Bond luminaries to contribute to the documentary are George Lazenby,
Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.

engaged to his cousin Francis (Kyle Soller), after hearing

Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson), Ross attempts to navigate the hostile,
poverty-stricken locals and the region's wealthy and influential
businessmen to reopen his family's disused copper mine, Wheal
Leisure.

With series creators Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady concocting the right mix of logic and lunacy and stars Johnny Galecki and Jim Parsons turning geekdom into Phi Beta fun, The Big Bang Theory is big on laughs. And life.

this comedy from 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig. Unaware that her
colleagues hate her, prim and priggish FBI special agent Sarah
Ashburn (Bullock) is seconded to Boston where she's forced to team
up with foul-mouthed, take-no-prisoners detective Shannon Mullins
(McCarthy). When the pair are ordered to take down a local drug
baron, the two cops' wildly contrasting styles - and mutual hatred
- soon threaten to derail their mission. But as the weeks pass, a
grudging admiration for each others' methods brings about a thawing
in hostilities, as the ill-starred crimefighters turn out to be a
force to be reckoned with.
