To countless men like me who are still schoolboys at heart and to countless women for whom Daniel Craigs craggy good looks are cinematic catnip the universally ecstatic reviews of the new James Bond film make almost shamefully pleasurable reading.
After 50 years, in which the movies have often descended to abject self-parody, Bond is a hero who should, by rights, have long ago shuffled off to the retirement home.
Instead, as Mail film critic Christopher Tookey wrote in later editions of Saturdays paper, the new 007 adventure, Skyfall, is one of the finest of all time.

Daniel Craig reflecting on how this world is so effed up. But like like liking ...Like the Aston Martin!!!
If you take James Bond to be a code name for a spy and not a real person the movies make a lot more sense.
Naomie Harris in the Pirates of the Caribbean, and Skyfall. One of these movies did not fully appreciate her talent.
I think this may rate a trip to the moviehouse, I have been terribly dismayed at the high prices of theater tickets and refreshments, to the point I will bring in my own food and drink and only for the best reviewed films.
All others I wait for the Bluray.
The new Bond film will be released in US on 11/9...after the election.
I am planning to watch the film in IMAX...
Harris was also in MIAMI VICE a few years ago...The film with Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell...
“Last of the Mohicans” is all you need to know that Michael Mann rules
In 2001 the average US movie ticket was $7.00 adjusted for inflation. Last year it was $7.93.
FWIW.
Refreshment prices are ridiculous. I haven’t bought any in decades.
Sort of like MI6's own Dread Pirate Roberts.
The film was dreadful. An insult to the tv series.
I’ll drink a beer or two before entering the movie theater. Bond goes down best in an altered state. Maybe I’ll bring in a flask////// shaken not stirred thank you very much
Psst! Coupons. NEVER pay full price.
I sure hope Skyfall is better than “Quantum of Solace.” I really hated that movie starting with its title. Plus what were the bad guys trying to do? Raise water bills in Bolivia. Talk about mundane! Plus Bond, for the first time ever, did not bag the Bond girl.

I have never seen a Daniel Craig Bond movie. Craig the first actor of all the others who doesn’t like Bond.

Okay, so Sean Connery later said he didn't hate James Bond. He just wanted to try other roles.
But I suspect they all felt that way sooner or later. If Roger Moore didn't, it was only because he didn't put the effort into playing any role.
Layer Cake w Daniel Craig was a good one
Miami Vice, the film, had some interesting gunfight scenes...I have to say that casting of Lt. Castillo in the movie was strange...
