Skyfall Reviews, Interviews & More

Just a little caveat before we start—don’t expect Christopher Nolan to direct Bond 24.  With Interstellar on the horizon, it just can’t happen.  OK, continue.

Following the long, uncertain gap between 2008’s Quantum of Solace and 2012’s excellent Skyfall (with Skyfall being delayed due to serious financial issues) one would assume that MGM and producers of the James Bond films would be rushing the as-yet unnamed 24th Bond film into production, especially because of Skyfall’s runaway...

As recently as mid-February, news was coming from the James Bond camp that the director of Skyfall, Sam Mendes, would be returning to direct the as-yet unnamed 24th James Bond film.  Source noted that, following the extreme success of the film (high critical ratings, the highest box office grosses of any Bond film ever, two Academy Award wins and three more nominations), Mendes was...

James Bond franchise producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson infamously made a misstep following the success of Casino Royale by hiring Marc Forster to helm Quantum of Solace (the man simply can’t shoot his way out of a paper bag if a moving camera or action sequence is required); so it...

Time certainly does fly. We're less than two weeks away from the Academy Awards and the last string of awards were just given out this past weekend. The Oscar race hasn't changed all that much, but further solidifies what you should expect when we watch the awards on February 24th.

For those who’ve bought the Bond box set, this week you can finally add the latest film to that set. There’s also some of the fall’s flops, and missed opportunities. Bond dominates this week of DVD and Blu-ray releases.

For the past couple of weeks we've been littered with news about a number of awards shows, but this may be the first week where we get a moment to breathe, despite the ongoing awards madness. As we prepare ourselves for another month's worth of craziness, we'd like to update you on the latest awards chatter and where you could go to see the Oscar nominated animated and live-action short films...

There are very few things to do on Christmas Day. You can always stay in and watch specials on TV while your family argues about your little sister's new bad-boy boyfriend. Or, if you're like us, you'll head straight to the movie theater. We've compiled a small list of solid movies that will be playing in theaters on Christmas Day. Keep in mind that these movies are for everyone (or just...

This has been a huge pivot point for movies in how they're made and distributed. 2012 was the year where the film industry turned its back on 35 millimeter film (which has been the standard for well over a century), with digital projection no longer just an option but the standard. At the same time a filmmaker like Paul Thomas Anderson shot a movie on 70mm - a format that hadn't been used...

There's no denying the appeal of James Bond, he's been a fixture of cinemas for half a century and most of his endeavors have been hugely successful. But on its fiftieth anniversary, he's more popular that ever, which has been proven by the sales of the Bond 50 box set. It's now the most successful Blu-ray box set of all time.

Since Skyfall has been showered with enormous success that its garnered in the box office, with critics and fans alike, we've all been curious to see who will be the next director to take on the reigns. After all, Sam Mendes and company did quite an impressive job with Skyfall, who would be the right person for the impending sequel? Well one thing's for sure,...

As we're between both holidays and event films, no one took this weekend to launch a big title, so we're going to have a logjam of films released December 21-25, and then next week is The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. But right now it's quiet so James Bond trumped with his Skyfall.

We're in between holidays at the moment, and because we're about to be hit with a tsunami of big end of year pictures, it's a quiet weekend, which should see either James Bond or Twilight in the top spot. We're leaning toward the former, but it could be close.

The big question this weekend wasn't if there was going to be a huge surprise out of nowhere success taking the top slot, but what would fall harder: Breaking Dawn Part 2 or Skyfall? Turns out that though Twlight 5 fell harder, it had just enough juice left to stay in the top slot. Take a look.

Studios often don't put a movie out the week after Thanksgiving, and if it wasn't for a shuffle a couple weeks ago, we wouldn't be getting a new movie at all. That's because it's usually considered a dead spot, or dumping ground for bad movies. To wit, last year saw no new wide releases, while in 2010 the only film opening wide was The Warrior's Way. Remember that...

With a five day opening for the new pictures, and with a holiday weekend  for the rest, it seems like Thanksgiving in America (at least this year) meant going to the movies. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 still won, but there are good things to say about most of the new pictures and their numbers. Mostly.

So it's a holiday five day weekend, and there are three new wide releases. Rise of the Guardians, Red Dawn and Life of Pi. But with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 netting $140 Million last weekend, even a 70% slide would mean a $40 Million weekend, and it's doubtful that these new pictures...

Thanksgiving is nearly here, and there are a lot of things to be grateful for in the world of movies and television. We all like to poke fun at Hollywood for some of the crappy movies they invest in, and also some of the unfunny comedies that are still airing on TV, but the truth is we love this stuff. It's why we write about it. Thanksgiving is about reflecting and giving thanks, so...

Some interesting James Bond news broke today—while Skyfall, the 23rd entry into the long-running James Bond franchise, is breaking Bond box office records and will likely go on to be the most successful (in unadjusted dollars) of the series, plans are already underway for the next film.

As the Twilight franchise comes to an end the final movie, Breaking Dawn - Part 2, made a crap-ton of money this weekend, but not enough to set any records (it isn't even the highest opening weekend for a Twilight film). Oh well, the makers are going to have to settle for a crap-ton of money.
