007 “Skyfall” arrives on Netflix for streaming…

1 Comment

Netflix streaming launched their new design this weekend. When I logged into my Netflix account last night, saw the new design, the first thing I see is the 007 movie, “Skyfall”, made available for streaming. All of you Netflix subscribers probably saw the same thing! Yep, “Skyfall”, is now a streamable movie on Netflix.

I would recommend you watch “Skyfall” tonight if you got nothing to watch. I wouldn’t exactly say that “Skyfall”is the best 007 ’cause there has been other good ones from the past but “Skyfall” is indeed the best Daniel Craig 007 film, that is.

I’m probably gonna re-watch, “Skyfall” later tonight. It was one of my favorite movies of 2012.

Even if you’re not much of a James Bond fan, you should still check it out ’cause this film is a new introduction to the character. This film has nothing to do with “Casino Royale” or “Quantum of Solace”. “Skyfall” is a complete standalone film.

BREAKING NEWS: Sam Mendes says no to directing Bond 24…

2 Comments

Despite all the positive reviews of “Skyfall” and the huge box office numbers, Sam Mendes says no to directing Bond 24, due to other commitments. He is scheduled to direct, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, and “King Lear” films, and his focus on those two movies. Shame, I was hoping he would give Bond another shot, ’cause “Skyfall”, was a pretty amazing flick and it is indeed, the best Bond film ever made, in my opinion.

I almost bought “Skyfall” on BluRay yesterday, but ended up getting the new “Tomb Raider” game instead.

I don’t think other directors will make a good Bond film after this one, though. They will go downhill again.

See the director’s statement, here.

Report: The Oscars will include James Bond tribute in celebration for 50th Anniversary…

Leave a comment

The Academy announced today, that the 85th Annual Oscars show this year will feature a 50th Anniversary tribute for the James Bond franchise. Now that a James Bond tribute has been confirmed, it’s looking more and more likely that “Skyfall” could land a lot of nominations for the Oscars.

More on the story, here.

I know this doesn’t confirm a “Best Picture” nomination, just a possibility for now. I can see it happening though. “Skyfall” is a really good movie. It’s definitely the best Bond movie ever made.

As for the 10 films that will get nominated for “Best Picture” at the Oscars this year. It might look like this, just my prediction:

Lincoln
Django Unchained
Skyfall
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Flight
Argo
The Master
Moonrise Kingdom
Zero Dark Thirty
Les Miserables

I think those films definitely has a possibility getting the Best Picture, nod. As for what film I think is going to win Best Picture, I really really really hope, “Skyfall”, gets it, ’cause that would be amazing if it got the win. Bond winning Best Picture which never happened before, will be history making. If “Skyfall” gets snubbed, that’s okay ’cause the rest of the movies deserve it too.

The only films on that list I haven’t seen yet are “Flight”, “Argo”, “The Master”, “Zero Dark Thirty”, and “Les Miserables” (which I hope to see soon).

Could “Skyfall” actually get a Best Picture nomination???? Really?? Please, yes!!!

Leave a comment

Rumors are swirling the internet that the latest 007 flick, “Skyfall”, just might get a chance of making the Oscars. The James Bond franchise has never made the Oscars before, and this just might be the first time for them. I do think “Skyfall” is an incredible film, and when the film got over with, my first thought was, “It just might make the Oscars but it probably won’t.”. If it does get the Best Picture nomination, that would be shocking… but if it gets the Best Picture snub, then there is possibility for other nominations. For example, like the article said, Adele could probably get the nomination for the theme song and Javier Bardem could get nominated for his role as the villain in it.

I really hope, “Skyfall”, gets the nomination. The Oscars has never been friendly with violent movies, but it don’t hurt for a change. A little variety in the Oscars, would be good. I’m getting real tired of all these feel good drama movies getting the Oscars spotlight. We will know the nominations real soon. Can’t wait!

Looking forward to seeing “Skyfall” Friday afternoon…

4 Comments

I love James Bond movies. I’ve been watching 007 flicks for years, and of course, Sean Connery, will always be the best, Bond. Roger Moore was pretty good too. I loved Timothy Dalton for Bond, but he was Bond for only two films. The only Bond I didn’t like was, Pierce Brosnan, but I did like the movie, “Golden Eye”. “Golden Eye” was the only good Pierce Brosnan, 007 flick. Daniel Craig, makes a really good Bond, but they need to improve his films. “Casino Royale” was a great flick but “Quantum of Solace” sucked hard. Hopefully, “Skyfall” won’t disappoint. I’m looking forward to seeing “Skyfall”, this coming Friday. I’ll review the film for this site, of course. Hope it’s a good film. Probably will be.

Cool Photo: Adele confirms she’s singing the title theme for “Skyfall” by tweeting this photo…

Leave a comment

Adele tweeted this photo of herself in the studio, recording the opening title theme song for the next 007 flick, “Skyfall”. The pic doesn’t actually show her, but all it shows is just her fingers and what it looks like sheet music/lyrics for the theme song? See the pic, here.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing, “Skyfall”. Hopefully it’ll be a good movie ’cause the last two 007 Daniel Craig flicks haven’t been that great to be honest with you. I hope the next one will be an improvement.

Cool Video: The “Skyfall” trailer gave me goosebumps, and I’m ready to see it, I think…

Leave a comment

The full domestic trailer for the next 007 flick, “Skyfall”, is finally here. The film looks really good too. Of course, all James Bond trailers try to make themselves really good. Hopefully “Skyfall” won’t disappoint, and it’ll be better than “Casino Royale”/”Quantum of Solace”. I did love “Casino Royale”, but I hated “Quantum of Solace”. I’m hoping “Skyfall” will be good. I’ll be seeing this one.

Cool Video: The new 007 trailer, “Skyfall” is finally here!!!

Leave a comment

I thought “Casino Royale”, was a great movie, but I thought, “Quantum of Solace” sucked hard. Now I see why they are re-booting the series again. “Skyfall” doesn’t continue the story of “Royale” and “Solace”, “Skyfall” is a standalone movie, I believe. Still looks very good so far, and I’m impressed with the trailer. The film looks action packed, of course, all movie trailers want to make it look that way with James Bond films, but when you go see the actual film, it turns out to be a piece of crap. Lets just hope and pray, “Skyfall”, will be a really good one. Javier Bardem is the main villain in this film, they do show him in this trailer but his face is darkened out so you can’t see him. It’s just a teaser for now. I’m sure they’ll reveal a lot more in the second trailer.

Enjoy it, here.

Film Review: Quantum of Solace

3 Comments

Starring: Daniel Craig, Gemma Arterton, Olga Kurylenko, Judi Dench

Directed by: Marc Forster:

So on a day of Christmas shopping at the mall today, I did end up seeing a movie so I decided to see the new 007 flick “Quantum of Solace”.

Plot synopsis: “Quantum of Solace” is actually the continuing sequel from the first movie “Casino Royale”. Bond is out to seek revenge after being betrayed by Vesper Lynd, the woman he fell in love with in “Casino Royale”. Bond captures a man named Mr. White which he reveals the man who stole Bond’s casino winnings, when he was playing poker back in “Casino Royale”. M (Judy Dench) warns Bond that this mission could be dangerous and risky, but Bond ignores her and vowed to complete his mission.

Bond discovers that a man named Dominic Greene who is a member of the Quantum organization which he poses as an environmentalist who aims to take complete control over water supply in Bolivia. Bond later learns that he needs to stop Dominic Greene from taking control of the water supply, the more Bond does that, the more he gets closer and closer for finding the people who ever hired Vesper Lynd to mess with Bond’s life.

My thoughts on the movie? I would like to add this movie to one of the worst movies of 2008. Yes, this movie was that bad. I hated it. I thought “Casino Royale” was amazing but “Quantum of Solace” was laughable. The storyline was kind of interesting, but the acting, the action scenes, the filming, etc. We’re very poorly done. The action scenes were pretty silly that they reminded me of Pierce Brosnan’s 007 films. Thumbs down to “Quantum of Solace”. “Casino Royale” was an amazing movie, I loved it to death, but the 007 films have gone downhill quickly when this piece of shit came out. Definitely wait for DVD on this one.

Score for “Quantum of Solace” = * (1 star as in poor)
