Must See: "Skyfall"

Yes, Bond.  James Bond - is amazing once again in the latest James Bond flick, "Skyfall", starring Daniel Craig.  He is, in my opinion, the best James Bond to date but I am also biased.  Hey, this bloke's a looker, what can I say?  Directed by Sam Mendes (you know, Kate Winslet's ex-husband and he directed films such as "American Beauty" and "Road to Perdition", a film that Daniel Craig was also in! ), this film has to-date grossed worldwide $955,052,000, according to Box Office Mojo.  Can you believe? 

Dame Judi Dench plays "M" in a bit of a twist of a plot with the evil villain portrayed by a bleached blonde Javier Bardem.  And oh to be a bond girl, Berenice Marlohe, is my new idol who's gorgeous and did you know, French Cambodian?!? The other Bond gal is played by Naomie Harris who was in "28 Days Later" with Cillian Murphy and as the crazy voodoo lady in the "Pirates of the Carribean" film series.  Let's not forget co-starring roles with Ralph Fiennes and a smaller part for Albert Finney (ummm, come on - Daddy Warbucks in the "Annie" film circa 1982).  I love action films and "Skyfall" definitely packs a punch, so much that you forget you've been sitting there for almost two and a half hours.  I think the more modern Bond has become more emotional, more human and maybe that's why more and more people find them caring for him as a character rather than just as an uber-talented, good looking spy. 

Here it is - the trailer, which is only an inkling of what to expect in this film.  Go see this one, too, over the holiday break!
