Cup of Cheer is the long overdue Xmas film that you’ve been waiting for a lifetime to see and the jokes never stop coming. She’s just a small town girl working in the big city.

Goldfinger was the third film in the James Bond franchise but the film, starring Sean Connery, is the gold standard for all Bond films. Ask anybody who their favorite Bond is and the answers will vary. The same will probably go for the films, too. I would wager to say that the large majority of people will tell you Goldfinger. Producers had a budget twice the size of Dr. No and From Russia With Love. …
