OMG. This is the best movie I have seen in a looooonnnnnnng time(trailer here).
Beautifully shot, perfectly casted, brilliantly directed. This movie has no weaknesses whatsoever. There are not enough superlatives to describe it adequately.
I keep a collection of books and videos I read around Halloween, which I refer to as my "October Shelf". This movie is on it, prominently.
Update:
I notice it's already being remade by Matt Reeves, the genius who brought us Cloverfield and Lost (I cannot fathom how Cloverfield got a 77% rating on Rotten Tomatoes). Sigh. Is there anything Hollywood won't sully?
Upadte II:
I meant "genius" sarcastically. In case there is any uncertainty.

Quantum of Solace Review: Good, Solid Action Flick.
I got to go see the new Bond flick early, as a friend of mine got tickets to a preview showing.
Quantum is not as good as Casino Royale was, but I wasn't expecting that it would be: that's a fairly high bar to hit. It was a good movie, though. Good chase and fight scenes, decent plot movement, good show generally. It ran 1:45, not nearly as long as its prequel.
If I had a bitch about it, it would be that the chase and fight scenes are filmed so close, and at such a frenetic pace, that it can be hard to follow what's happening. Back off and cool down a bit. People will enjoy it more.
