The Daniel Craig trilogy of Bond films is so good. Genuinely love Casino Royale - Skyfall.We made it a movie night last night and continued with our Daniel Craig 007 movies in Quantum of Solace. This movie was all action due to a writers strike but was still a decent flick. Beautifully shot (even the parts that were supposed to be Haiti. Oona Chaplin (of I'm all nekkid GoT fame) made anuncreditedappearance at the end. 7.5/10
Quantum of Solace
Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M interrogate Mr. White, who reveals that the organization that blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.www.themoviedb.org
On a related note, I told my wife that I am scared of what Amazon is going to do with the 007 franchise as they did so well with Lord of the Rings.
I have seen Spectre and No Time to Die once, and have no desire to watch them ever again. The only part of NTTD that was enjoyable was the introduction of Ana de Armis’ very rookie character and her ad libbed dialogue they kept for the film.
Daniel Craig said to Ana de Armis (the actor not her character) that she was doing great, and the actor said, “thanks! It’s my first day and I’m still getting the hang of it” or something similar. They liked the line and used it for the movie.

Watched a Gary Oldman movie that got by me; Darkest Hour. He plays Winston Churchill in his first days in parliament when the world didn't know what Hitler was going to do. This movie was outstanding, and I highly recommend it. 9/10 would invade again.

Edit: Also, the woman in slow horses who hates Gary Oldman's character plays his wife in this movie.

Black Phone 2
From the trailer it reminded me of A Nightmare on Elm Street and it wouldn't have taken a whole lot to have turned this script in to another one of those. Overall it's fine but it's too long. Once it gets up to speed in the second half it's decent with some solidly fucked up shit but the first fifty minutes are just dull. You cut the 110+ minute runtime down to it's best 90 minutes and it would have been pretty good. I saw this at home. As a theater experience this would have been terrible but I didn't do that so it's a C+. Someone less familiar with movies in which a supernatural slasher gains power from his victims that he uses to come at you in your dreams might like it a bit more but this isn't my first rodeo.

I watched the first one earlier this year, but for the life of me, I really don't remember much about it other than Ethan Hawke wearing a creepy mask and a ghost phone.
How was it compared to the first one?

It's a little worse.
Yeah, Joe didn't contribute anything to the writing on this one. Something that is present in his books is the "special powers = cursed" trope where people who use their gifts are slowly killing themselves or driving themselves mad. Our character's mom had the Shinning, it drove her crazy, she killed herself, the sister has the Shinning, she's going to go crazy too because that's just how it works with Joe Hill. It's a little ugly subtext in the novella and then is in the first film as well. The writer and the director must have feelings similar to my mine on the subject (it's lame) because this movie fixes that whole idea.
