J. Hoberman at the Village Voice spends his entire column this week rhapsodizing about Arnaud Desplechin's film A Christmas Tale, a "comic, ultimately touching family melodrama" that "feels like all 12 days of seasonal merriment, and then some." It stars the great Catherine Deneuve as the matriarch of a chic family who is diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia, and Hoberman writes: "It should be heavy, but it's not. Desplechin thrives on drunken escapades, medical procedures, blunt confessions, grand gestures, and screwball riffs. The characters are as volatile as the situation. A Christmas Tale unfolds in a succession of big confrontations and quick vignettes...This is a movie of moment-to-moment unpredictability."

Saw Quantum of Solace last night. SOOOOOOOO GOOD!
good or bad, make up your own decision. casino royale cemented daniel craig's place as the only bond. forget connery- have you seen those laughable films recently? he can't punch his way out of a paper bag. those scripts were written by a bunch of idiots- c'mon- goldfinger...how corny was that!!!
austin powers showed us just how stupid most of the old bond movies were. daniel craig rocks.
If you've ever read any of Fleming's books, or Markham's Colonel Sun (Amis) then you know Craig is the best Bond ever. Lazenby was pretty good, but Craig is the best.
Wasn't there already an environmental badguy? Walken was sort of, right? And the stupid World is not Enough with media tycoons... oy!
Read Swarup's "Q&A" the novel on which Slumdog Millionaire is based.

New bond sucks. All dark and serious. Daniel Craig is the new Timothy Dalton.
