Skyfall - James Bond 007 - the review

I will admit from the onset that I have only seen two (well three after today) Bond films from beginning to end - Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace but I did really enjoy them.

I won't give away too much about the film as it is amazing and I wouldn't want to spoil it, this means that this review will probably be quite short as I don't want to ruin it.

First I will say that it doesn't follow on from the previous two films so you don't really need to have seen them before seeing this.

Javier Bardem plays the baddie Mr Silver and he is amazing! Blonde hair, blue eyes and slightly too large teeth. He is a real good baddie, a classic baddie, a little camp but equally brilliant. It did remind me a bit of the Joker and Batman in that they need each other but need to beat each other. Bardem is just an amazing baddie.

Daniel Craig is again a brilliant Bond and Judi Dench's M fantastic.

I love that the film has proper opening titles, it gives the opportunity for Adele's theme song to be played in full. I just wish they did it with more films.

The Aston Martin DB5 is beautiful and makes a welcome return. This film does celebrate Bond's 50th anniversary and if you are a Bond fan I don't think you will be disappointed.

Visually this film is phenomenal, the depth and colour in some scenes. The use of light and dark, shadows and the smallest details just add the pieces. Sam Mendes is a genius.

I also love that they filmed parts in London, with many recognisable sights.

Go see this film if you love action films, Javier Bardem or Bond, or Daniel Craig as you won't be disappointed.

Mainly quiet on the homefront

October has been fairly quiet some work and personal issues but apart from that not much else, hence the lack of posts.

However, on Sunday I have the Great South Run. Who knew I would be able to run ten miles, 'You haven't done it yet' I hear you cry well actually last Sunday I did run ten miles! So all being well Sunday should be fine!

Coming up I have that, in November I'm off for a week and plan to cook and bake, it is the boyfriend's birthday, we might see the new Bond film 'Skyfall', then the latest Twilight film and the Twilight marathon before...well you knew it was going to happen.

Also my anniversary in London and a visit to the film costume exhibit at the V&A, two gigs- Jake Bugg and the Rifles. I have it all going on in November, in December got Viva Forever the Spice Girls musical.

Also got lots more planned for next year - musical 9 to 5, Warhorse and Pink so never fear this blog will be back to normal before you know it.
