Comment on Abraham Lincoln: A life in pictures by Alex

Great post, it seems like the Lincoln stuff is almost cyclical we will go a few years without many major motion pictures and then we will get two or three in a row.

Comment on Bond is back — and better than ever — in "Skyfall" by Heather Madden

My first viewing of Skyfall left me a little frustrated at the slow pace in the first half. However the story did catch speed in the second, and by the end I felt it was overall slightly better than Casino Royale. On reflection , however, there was a lot to appreciate from this Bond movie. An ageing James Bond, with his powers in apparently terminal decline, refuses to give up against all the odds, even against a fitter, though older , villain.A lot of the action is without any fancy gadgets. Similarly, M’s unwavering belief in Bond’s ability to do his bit when the time of reckoning comes is commendable. The reference to Lord Alfred Tennyson’s Ulysses was heart touching, and remains my favourite scene from the movie. The movie showcases Bond as a human being first and a secret agent next, and shows a human side of him which many thought never existed. The movie has a lot apart from just action sequences ( which are aplenty , mind you) and that makes me feel in retrospect that this is the best Bond movie I have seen in my lifetime (have only seen them in the last decade).

Can’t wait to see where the series go from here. It’s as if at this point, whether they went more retro and redid the earlier ones or they took it in a more serious route and made Craig the thug Bond truly is, it would work perfectly. Right now, they have the creative freedom they’ve sought since the mid seventies or briefly, around Goldeneye. Well done.

I’ll be getting into and reviewing this at last this week, heard a mixed bag so far so hopefully it offers something to chew over at least.

Frank, you might be thinking of 2008′s “Ruby Blue,” about an older man whose “friendship with a young girl is called into question when she goes missing.”

I love Bob! What was that movie he was in where he took in a young girl and was sort of helping her out only really he was trying to keep her or something? I think maybe he killed a previous girl or something. I saw it on IFC a while ago and can’t remember the name of it… it was pretty good.

Comment on Will your favorite fall TV show fail? by Patrick

Patrick — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 15:00:00 +0000

It really is a gamble to bring out any new TV show. It can be hard to anticipate what viewers will want to see from season to season. My coworker at Dish and I were discussing the new shows yesterday; I think Go On looks promising. I am really cheering for Matthew Perry since he has not had a real hit since Friends. My Hopper DVR will catch all the new episodes of Go On as well as the other prime time shows from the four major networks. I liked The New Normal; I’m not sure what kind of staying power Go On could have though. How long will people want to see a show about someone in grief counseling?
