OPENING TODAY:

’’SKY FALL: (PG-13), 4 Stars. Agent James Bond aka 007 is back on the big screen with Daniel Craig making his third appearance as the slick-talking, guns-blazing, women-slaying super spy. In the latest installment, the identinites of undercover agents implanted in terrorist cells across the nation is threatened when a murdered MI6 agent’s laptop goes missing. In the course of trying to recover it, Bond is shot by his own people, falls off a speeding train, and presumed dead. Then, MI6 is bombed, killing multiple agents and crippling the organization, James Bond returns from the grave to seek vengeance. The film’s villain, played by Javier Bardem (the bad guy in ‘No Country for Old Men’), is chillingly perfect. The film is everything a ‘Bond’ film should be, action, babes, explosions, and more action.
