Quickie Movie Reviews

I've spent the holiday break catching up on some movies, and plan to watch several more before I have to get back to the day job on Monday. A couple I particularly enjoyed so far were:

Hancock. My daughter is a big Will Smith fan, and this movie is fast-paced, funny, and an enjoyable twist on the usual superhero film. I wasn't quite on board with the last third, but overall it's a fun ride.

Quantum of Solace. I very much enjoyed Daniel Craig's first foray as James Bond, and while this wasn't quite as strong a movie as Casino Royale, it was still an entertaining afternoon in the theater. Daniel Craig continues to play Bond with cool, rugged sexiness, and in Quantum, recovering from the events of Casino, Bond is even more square-jawed and taciturn. And very, very easy on the eyes.
