Movies: Quantum of Solace


After seeing the last Bond film, Casino Royale, I was excited to see Quantum of Solace. However, my expectations for this film were too high and I was deeply disappointed. Dominated by action sequences, the movie was strung along by a paper-thin plot. Not only did it fail to answer the questions raised in Casino Royale, it added a whole new slew of queries. Essentially, this movie was like the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie: it's only real purpose was to set up another sequel. However disappointing this movie may be for lack of substance, it is indeed an entertaining action movie.

Movies: Zach and Miri Make a Porno

Written and directed by Kevin Smith, this comedy stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks. The story finds two friends who, finding themselves broke and in dire straits, decide to make money by making a porno movie. However, not all goes as planned when they find out they have feelings for each other. This movie is both heartwarming and hilarious, however due to graphic sexual content I implore you to not watch this movie with your parents.
