Thoughts on: Skyfall

Apart from a couple of times where it slipped across the line, it walked the tightrope between cheesy and charming/old-fashioned to perfection. Harnessing the theme of ageing as a way to honour the series' past. Translating the theme of "fighting in the shadows" to literal (incredible) silhouette fight scenes with amazing background colours. So good. If it wasn't for some inexplicable character decisions and laughable "hacking", a perfect score would have been given. 9/10

Thoughts on: Dredd 3D

Walked out after 25 minutes. I could rant for several paragraphs, but it can be summed up by saying that absolutely no respect was given to the audience's intelligence. Also, "slow motion" is not synonymous with "arty", nor "weird lens flare sparkles" with "beautiful". 2/10 And "3D" in the title? Seriously?
