Wow. Wow wow wow WOW. A full trailer for new James Bond film Skyfall has been released and I’m absolutely blown away. There’s more action including a fight sequence on top of a moving train, the apparent death of Bond (although he’s got more lives than the luckiest cat in the world), an explosion at the MI6 building on the banks of the Thames….

The iconic scrolling text at the beginning of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith makes it very clear where we are in the Star Wars story. The first word is stark. War!

This summer hasn’t exactly been a classic. Not in terms of the shocking weather and certainly not when you look at what’s been on at the cinema. Harry Potter was the first brilliant blockbuster of the year…

Here we are – the last Bank Holiday Monday until Christmas. I’m sure there’s lots to do but I’m going to stick with the tradition of sitting watching movies…
