Bond 23 becomes real......


Short and snappy.  None of this Quantum of Solace nonsense.  This sounds like a Bond movie.  Daniel Craig is returning for his third stint as Bond and he is joined by a top notch cast including Dame Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes and Albert Finney.  Plot details are thin on the ground, but Eon did release this short logline -

In SKYFALL, Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.


Best of all, this Bond movie comes from a great director, Sam Mendes.  Anyone who has seen Road to Perdition will know how well he can balance character with action.  The scene alone where Tom Hanks confronts Paul Newman and his men is one of the great action sequences of modern cinema (and a great showcase for Blu Ray).


Next year is looking hotter and hotter with The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers and The Hobbit all set to come out.  It's a great time to be a movie goer.


Until; next time.......
