50th anniversary of 007

Skyfall
He's back and in this 50th year anniversary special, director Sam Mandes decides to take a different view in this movie. In this movie just like in Quantum of Solace, and Casino Royale, Daniel Craig plays special agent 007 incredibly. The plot of this story follows so, James bond and Eve, played by Naomie Harris, are chasing down a mercenary who has obtained a data file with a list of all undercover agents in terrorist groups,  however bond ends up shot and supposedly dead and the mercenary fled with the data file. Now someone has the list and will stop at nothing to make the british secret  service and more importantly M,(leader of the british secret service, played by Judi Dench)pay for their sins. Now its bond's job to not only track down this mysterious foe and stop him from achieving his revenge , but also rise back up to his former pros in glory.The movies release date in the United States was November 9, 2012, but has left the big and now taken to the little screen of your living room and is currently available on Blu-ray and DVD. An interesting fact to this movie is that not only is it a movie title, but also a song title by Adele, and is the intro music to the movie also. The movie of course doesn't  lack the most important james bond feature that all others obtain, his charm. On terms of review the website Rotten Tomatoes gives the movie a 92% rating for critics, and the audience have given it a 88%  . In short this movie introduces a variety of new aspects of bond as well as his old classic aspects at the same time, and the movie does a extraordinary thing that only a hand full of movies like this kind does, it connects to some of it's previous movies to make it seem like the events in that event actually took place and caused a ripple effect to the future bond movies such as this one. Based off of my opinion this movie is top bar and deserves high praise to the James bond name and would definitely suggest that even if you aren't a bond fan that you at least go rent this and see what all the talk is about on the next great bond movie that is truly keeping bonds name true to its original ways.

It's not about the money

"It's not about the money"
Its the principle
The story is about a thief with a unique code of professional ethic is double crossed by his crew and left for dead. Assuming a new disguise and forming an unlikely alliance with a women on the inside, to hijack the score of the crew's latest heist. The movie is based of a book  written by Richard Stark, directed by Taylor Hackford, and was released in America on January 25, 2013. The role of parker is played by Jason Statham, and playing the role of Leslie Rodgers (or the women on the inside) by Jennifer Lopez. The movie is rated R. From what I think of the movie it does portray a unique yet at times unsatisfactory protagonist who's role is  a thief out for revenge by planning on stealing from his former associates that plan on a new 2 million dollar heist. However, as mentioned in the headings and caption under the photograph that makes this stories plot for revenge so unique, that it is not because of the deed of not paying him, but because he has a ethic to never compromise or fall short on agreements, so to put it simply it had little to do with the money but the fact that they chose not to pay him breaking one of his codes. For review's sake the website rotten tomatoes gives it a 38 % for critics, however  the public gives it a 63 % so a movie that is not terrible but wont likely make it onto the chances of winning a Oscar award. An interesting rummer to all of this is that it's believed that this is only one of a series of movies to come out in the future, however realize that this is only a rummer nothing has been released officially ass of right now. For those of you that are uncertain of whether or not it's worth going to spend the time and money to go check out this move, it will be based off of your own opinion to decide it has a interesting and unique moral to it but can have a negative effect on how people can view humanity and one another. Thank you for taking the time to look through my review/ blog on Parker currently still in theaters.
