February 16th, 2013

Is Skyfall the best James Bond movie ever? I’d argue no, but it’s a good argument to have. There are merits to such a question – Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) is without question the most accomplished and legitimate director to ever take the reigns of the franchise, and he delivers a slick and beautifully crafted film – but there are also understandable criticisms.

Sony has released the all-new Skyfall movie trailer, the latest entry in the James Bond franchise. After the adequate-but-disappointing Quantum of Solace and a longer than expected hiatus due to financial troubles with MGM, the studio is going all out with Skyfall, which features M (Judi Dench) making a huge mistake that appears to cost the lives of several secret agents (and the destruction of MI6?), Ralph Fiennes stepping in to clean up the damage, James Bond (Craig) getting shot and apparently killed, and Javier Bardem returning to a villain roll.

Michelle Williams earned another Oscar nomination for her turn as Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn. She didn’t stand a fighting chance, but that in no way diminishes the understated performance she puts on display amidst the likes of Kenneth Branagh (also nominated) and Judi Dench. The movie was released to DVD and Blu-ray yesterday.
