"Spectre" - First Review



Review: "Spectre" Review - Variety

Review: "Spectre" Review - The Hollywood Reporter

Variety and The Hollywood Reporter review the newest James Bond adventure! Variety sees this film as more breathless and workmanlike than "Skyfall," but still entertaining.

I am going against the grain in saying I LOVED "Casino Royale," and actually really liked "Quantum of Solace." Marc Forster did great in QoS adding artistic touches, even though he got a bit crazy with the rapid-fire editing of action sequences. But, "Skyfall" did nothing for me, save the great opening sequence. Just way too serious for me, and the desatured color stuff drives me nuts. Sounds like more of the same this time around. Can't these movies just be a little bit fun? Even the upcoming "Force Awakens" has everyone depressed and moping around.

"Spectre" opens November 16.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 First Review!


Review: Film Review: ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1′ - Variety


Variety has the first review of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1." The movie takes Suzanne Collins's last novel of the series and splits it in two, like was done at the end of "Harry Potter" and "Twilight." Here, it sounds like the director and screenwriters work hard to avoid the anti-climatic nature of splitting the last story in two.
