Bond Sky Mining.


I don’t think it’s being too uncharitable towards Skyfall — which is a solid and decently fun Bond outing that’s a good deal better than A Quantum of Solace, although not quite at the level of Casino Royale — to say that the best part of the film may just be the opening credits. (Although if you ever wanted to see Bond go up against the Joker, same Dark Knight plan and all, or thought to wonder if 007 possibly grew up like Bruce Wayne in Hogwarts, those are in evidence too.) With that in mind, enjoy.

Old Friends, New Cues.

Far over the Misty Mountains cold…” As we’re now only a month away from the incident with the dragon — or at least its first few chapters, the full soundtrack for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is now streaming online, as is Neil Finn’s “Song of the Lonely Mountain” (which is fine, but I confess “The Greatest Adventure” will likely remain my go-to for Hobbit-y standards.)

A Very Long Holiday.


The full trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is now online. Looks solid but tone is everything. Also, it never occurred to me until watching this how much Time Bandits follows this same template.
