This film was an enjoyable experience, providing a detailed insight into two individuals as they come to terms with the demise of their relationships, and the beginning of their own. If you've seen romantic films already, the familiar tropes are present through this movie, with moments of passion and emotions given in at the anticipated moments, but the real charm of this film is in the two actors' abilities to confidently explore their characters' internal motivations, and have this played well with their counterpart. Its not the love film of the century, but its certainly one that will happily provide the distraction it was made for.
The end of a "trilogy" of James Bond's rise to prominence as MI6's most able and deadly spy in its organisation, Skyfall provides what its two predecessors could not fathom, not only presenting an original plot and context to stand itself as against all Bond films, but fusions this with the traditional hallmarks accustomed to a 007 film, carrying with its modern visage of action and surrealism, with wit, charm, character, and other attributes that go with the territory of James Bond.
Quintessential James Bond at its finest, well deserved of its accolades and fortune, and its place amongst the better films of this five decade spanning franchise.

Viewing this magnificent piece of TV art, the World at War, narrated by the famous thespian of all thespians Sir Laurence Olivier, this show provides in 26 episodes over ten years worth of war and conflict, fleshing out in each episode the pivotal moments and battles that shaped the greatest event in human history, Sir Laurence's narration adding an authority of authenticity, acclaim, and awe unmatched by before and since its inauguration, the presentation of each episode and the series as a whole layered with fair and even attention to all details, and presented with greater resonance with the inclusion of varying participants, irrespective of their major or minor rank and importance to the conflict as a whole.
