Pseudo-intellectual time travel flick writes off logic with
dismissive dialogue, but can’t talk itself out of pacing problems. Levitt’s Willis and Johnson’s clever
cinematic tricks shine through a story that borrows notes from a bad Frequency,
then travels from coincidental and emotionally dissatisfying to physically and
psychicly unbelievable and unacceptable.

Skyfall
Hopscotches between Bondiest Bond ever, and not a Bond film
at all. Worst Craig opening yet, followed
by uncharacteristically character driven flick with interludes of digital
dragons and rogue subways. Inception Island for Old Bardem, Straw Dogs third
act, and perfect closing scene confuse the hell out of Chicken Little.

Ben Whishaw,

Judi Dench,

Ralph Fiennes,
Sam Mendes
