The November Man and Pierce Brosnan’s Anti-James Bond Roles

He’s nastier than I remembered. In fact, Peter Devereaux, who is Pierce Brosnan’s lead spy in the grisly B-actioner The November Man, is a downright scumbag. But this is by design in a film that’s clearly coasting off audiences’ familiarity with the actor as James Bond 007. And despite his penchant for a fashionable enough gray sport coat, Devereaux displays little elegance or wit while he’s on the job; he’s a bastard who’ll sneak into his former protege’s kitchen with a gun and then hold the young lad’s girlfriend hostage and at knifepoint. “Scenario: Your target has just severed the…

Upcoming Movies in November 2020: Streaming, VOD, and Theaters

New on Amazon Prime Video UK November 2020

December’s really what we’re hanging on for, Amazon Prime Video-wise. That’s when the new 10-episode season of The Expanse lands. November though, does have a couple of likely streaming candidates in the form of dark comedy Wayne, which, with its teen-road-trip and nihilist violence vibe, sounds like just the thing for a fan of Channel 4’s excellent The End of the F***ing World. There’s also the fifth and final season of Syfy’s The Magicians, plus new Alan Ball film Uncle Frank, starring Paul Bettany, which had a warm reception at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Take the opportunity then, to get some good stuff in before the festivities.

The Crown Season 4: November Release Date and First Teaser

‘Something as important as the monarchy simply cannot be allowed to fail’ says Queen Elizabeth II in the first teaser for The Crown season four. Very good, ma’am. That must have been Netflix’s argument to series creator Peter Morgan when he shrunk plans for a total of six seasons down to five, before being persuaded to return to the original number. Something as important and investment-heavy as The Crown also simply cannot be allowed to fail. HRH’s words gain additional weight in the teaser from being delivered in voiceover as she rides out on horseback in full ceremonial garb, complete…
