Spectre

Good movie, but I miss Judi Dench.

She was sooo good, and the new M--Ralph "Rafe" "Ralphie" Fiennes--is hard to buy as a hero; he still looks exactly like the Dark Lord from the Harry Potter movies.

Kingsman: The Secret Service

Here it is, the movie that asks, "can the later Roger Moore James Bond films be out-overdone?"; the answer, as it turns out, is "oh, hell, yes"--but why, I ask, would one actually WANT to?

I started out mildly amused, but at some point grew to hate the entire thing.

Skyfall

Enough Bonds-y goodness to keep the franchise going for years, and soooo much wall-to-wall action that there is absolutely no room for a bathroom break within its 142-minute runtime.

I really feel sorry for the folks who have to clean these theaters between showings.

Agent Vinod

A new franchise is born, I think--and if you like Bond, but don't think it's action-packed enough, or sexy enough, this movie is for you!

On the other hand, if you care about being able to follow along every single second, this may not be the movie for you.
