Bond, James Bond, October 8, 2011
This review is from: James Bond 2010 Wall Calendar (Office Product)
Not bad. I expected more. They shouldn't have dark backgrounds on the calendar section where one sometimes needs to fill in the days with special reminders and such. being dark, one cannot do that.

All Bond, All Year Long, January 6, 2010
This review is from: James Bond 2010 Wall Calendar (Office Product)
If you are as much of a Bond fan as I am, you will enjoy the 2010 James Bond Wall Calendar. It has gorgeous photos from each of the Bonds - from Connery to Craig.
However, there is no space to write anything in the date areas. So if you are used to keeping appointments or other info in typical grid-style wall calendars, you will need to look elsewhere.
Instead of the grid format, only the numbered dates are given, and holidays are listed to the left. Also, a synopsis of the film features in each month is provided. For most Bond fans, this is a unnecessary inclusion...we already know what happens in the films. That's why we bought the calendar!
The pictures are the calendar's saving grace. The images are large and detailed. Very cool shots that add a sophisticated ambiance to any room in which they are displayed.
And I understand the disappointment of having only one month devoted to Sean Connery. However, Craig's the current Bond, so the folks in charge most likely want to remain relevant. It's not a huge deal, but seems odd that the man who essentially created the on-screen persona of James Bond is not held in a higher regard.
Overall, it's a solid calendar for hardcore Bond aficionados, but isn't well-suited for those who use a wall calendar to keep information handy.

Picture book not calendar, January 5, 2010
This review is from: James Bond 2010 Wall Calendar (Office Product)
I know everyone uses their calendar for different purposes, but I primarily use mine to help me keep track of what I've done throughout the year. I've bought the calendar since 2007, and normally the days have there own box in which I write things. This year the picture takes up a page and a half leaving the month only a small portion of the lower right corner. If they don't change this in next years calendar they have forever lost a customer. I also agree with only having one month devoted to Sean Connery needs to be fixed. Whoever designed this years calendar did a very poor job.
