Shaken, Not Stirred

Okay, I guess I'd better use this blog for something, right? I mean, if the most I can do is post a YouTube video on Thanksgiving, then I really need to step up my game. But then I barely did that before, so what do I know?

Anyway, my dad and I headed out last week to see Skyfall. I'm about a month behind the times, I know, but sometimes I'm slow about these things. Plus I've never been a huge James Bond fan anyway, so that was part of it as well. So let's get into what I thought about the movie, okay?

I enjoyed Casino Royale and thought Quantum of Solace was okay, so I was looking forward to seeing Daniel Craig's third outing as 007. And Skyfall absolutely did not let me down in the slightest. It's a little overlong, but I never thought it wore out its welcome or got tiresome or tedious. The calmer dramatic moments are just as effective as the action sequences, a testament to the abilities of both the cast and the filmmakers. You'd think the slower, quieter scenes would allow one a chance to catch their breath after the action sequences, but they're equally intense in their own ways. There are no wasted moments in Skyfall, that's for sure.

So I guess you've figured by now that I really dug the movie. And it's true, I did. It's a great flick that, if you're one of the rare few who have yet to see it, is well worth the price of admission. So go check it out, won't you?
