Movie Review: Skyfall


22 Nov

I know, I am reviewing a movie while it’s still in theaters; it’s a Thanksgiving day miracle.

First off, I think in Daniel Craig, Sean Connery finally has some real competition in the sexiest Bond every category.

Skyfall was a really enjoyable movie. Yes, it’s a little darker than most Bond films, but all the Craig Bond movies have been. It felt very much in line with where Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace had been taking us.

Judi Dench as M was, as always, wonderful.

And the little bits of tribute to the “old” Bond days were mostly charming.

Movie Review: Quantum of Solace


01 Nov

In preparation for Skyfall, we saw Quantum of Solace. I enjoy Daniel Craig as Bond, and think he gives Connery some competition as the sexiest Bond.

Two is not enough to make a trend, but something I’ve noticed in the newest Bond movies is that if Bond has sex with the girl, she dies. I’m pretty sure in the earlier movies, not every one of Bond’s conquests was killed.

In QoS, the woman that was meant to be the “Bond Girl” he had more of a big brother/protective relationship with, and the conquest was, literally, a throw away character.
