I've never really been the type that goes absolutely gaga over the James Bond films. I do see the value in them, and I've certainly enjoyed them in the past, but I'm not the type that bought the giant box or counted down the days until the next installment came along. But Skyfall... Skyfall changed all that. I was incredibly excited for this, and the payoff more than lived up to my expectations. I absolutely can't wait for the next film.

This isn't an Oscar-type movie, really, but it's on my list, so this review is here. To keep it somewhat relevant, I wouldn't be floored to see a supporting actor nod go to Javier Bardem, but that'd be a longshot. Too bad, he was spectacular.
