His writing is so unique too in his ability to pay homage to the likes of Hawks and Fuller. <br /><br />Like I said "fuck you, I like Quantum of Solace".....not in my top five bonds but def not in the lower. Moore gets really silly, even though Live Amd Let Die and Man With The Golden Gun are badass. It's hard to top Connery....and can we get some love for Lazenby.<br /><br />I hate the marketing for In Bruges., really unfair to the film.

Big fan of Johnson since seeing "Brick" at the Camelview way back when, and this is his best yet. The best sci-fi film since Inception, it did a great job of mixing style AND substance. <br /><br />2. Excited for Skyfall, though Quantum of Solace is one of the worst edited big budget films I've ever seen, definitely in my lower 5 Bond film list...and what did they do? Hire yet another guy known for anything but action. However, I do hold Mendes in higher regard, after all...Road to friggin' Perdition, and the trailer seems add back the fun in the series that has been lacking without going goofy with it. <br /><br />3. I have high hopes for Seven Psychopaths. It doesn't look good by the trailer, but I have to remember In Bruges didn't either (mismarketed as a poor Snatch styled comedy) and after seeing it (at the Camelview...again) despite being early on in '08, it still ended up as my #2 that year. Here's hoping for another mismarketed great film. Hudson Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894596380257602448noreply@blogger.com
