Skyfall all set to roll

 The news of MGM and Sony pictures registering domain names for the latest Bond flick and the list of the latest cast members now out for what seems to be the possible final outing of Daniel Craig as James Bond is creating waves of excitement among 007 audiences. Skyfall all set to be released on Nov 9, 2012 in the U.S. and to be directed by Sam Mendes is expected to follow a similar formula adopted by Martin Campbell for Casino Royale.
With a great cast assembled, Bond 23 may be the right start for James Bond in a new decade. Hope to hear more on this at the scheduled press conference next month preceding the production of the movie to be shot across India, China, Turkey and the U.K.
It would be interesting to see Ralph Fiennes, an established actor who has on numerous occasions been linked to playing James Bond now playing the villain. Bond may have finally met his match .
Cast
Judi Dench -  M
Naomie Harris  - Money Penny
Ralph Fiennes  - (ViIlain)
Javier Bardiem - (ViIlain)
Helen McCrory &  Berenice Marlohe - Bond girls

The best James Bond actor?


Every 2 to 3 years, when EON productions leaks out classified information about the next Bond movie (Skyfall is the latest rumored title), fans around the world wait eagerly to watch their all time favorite spy to show up with his license to kill and thrill. For those who have been around since the beginning of the franchise growing up watching almost 50 years of non stop action, Sir Sean Connery may seem to be the best Bond by many.

Two and a Half Men to Three Men

Two and a half men was fun to watch all these years especially with Charlie Sheen in the lead  immortalizing the central protagonist - Charlie Harper in the hit comedy series. Its a fact that no one else could play the character as good as Sheen,

Expendables 2 - Rocky Terminators Die Hard

Expendables-2 Update: Audiences who grew up in the 80's and 90's watching old school action movies of Hollywood tough guys like Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis in classics like the Terminator, Rambo and Die Hard series, might find it quite interesting that these macho men are still around doing regular business, as they along with their kids watch in awe the same actors performing wonders on screen and more sequels even after all these years.

The Passion of the Christ Review

Films on Christian themes have been around for a long time. Some of them like Jesus of Nazareth have made pretty good impressions and still stand out as classics. But who would have thought that a movie shot in a completely foreign language (mostly Aramaic with only English subtitles) on a relatively short budget would go on to be the highest grossing foreign film ever, the second being
Jet Li's epic action drama Hero.

Casino Royale Review

The year is 2006 and we have a new Bond and he's blonde. EON productions decision to reboot the franchise by taking the character back to its roots with a new actor might have not been a bad idea after all. In fact, it was a good one, Casino Royale was one of the top grossing Bond movies of all time when it was released. During the Brosnan era, it was unimaginable to think of a replacement. He was the perfect Bond and had brought a unique style to the character and a renewed interest among younger audiences.

John Rambo Review

Rambo is one of the few classic action characters that have stood the test of time. The man who speaks few words, blows up things and kills all the baddies is a hero for all action movie lovers. With 3 successful Rambo movies in the 80's, Sylvester Stallone's attempt to make a come back with a 4th sequel was also seen as an attempt to revive his film career. Well he does manage to pull it off. Even with  the success of Rocky Balboa in 2006, there was a certain skepticism about the relevance of bringing back a 60+ Vietnam war veteran in a more sophisticated world. Though the idea might have seemed unrealistic, once you see the bulked up Stallone in perfect shape doing what he's really good at on screen, all those doubts fade away. "Live for nothing or Die for something", an aged but angry Rambo says, holding a bow ready to pull an arrow aimed at a mercenaries face.
In the latest plot,  Rambo has been living a solitary life as a boatman and catching poisonous snakes for a living.When a few Christian missionaries seek his assistance in taking them to Burma to provide the persecuted Karen tribe with prayer books and medical supplies, John Rambo, takes them in his boat, though he initially refuses, due to the persistence of Sarah, the only lady missionary among the group.However, Rambo is not fully convinced that they would be able to make any change. He drops them off at a location after having faced a violent confrontation with Burmese pirates. A few days later he is visited by the pastor of the church that sent the human rights group, who informs him that they never returned back, and he requests Rambo's help in dropping off a few hired mercenaries at the same spot where the group was left. What follows is a non stop ride of extreme action where in the process of rescuing the hostages, you'll come to see the bloodiest scenes that could happen in war and may action maniacs a huge adrenaline rush. For some it might simply look like a bloody action movie with explicit images, but for those who understand John Rambo and love some old school  action, you won't be disappointed. Its a thrill of a ride with the maximum kills in any Rambo movie and a worthy ending to the series.
