The Reel Deal: Skyfall





In this installment of our regular column "The Reel Deal," Cara contemplates  whatever movie is blowing her mind this week. 

You can’t beat a James Bond movie, especially when it has Daniel Craig starring as 007.  My new favorite movie of the month, Skyfall, starts out scaring you beyond belief.  Anyone with a beating heart and working eyes was shocked as they witnessed the smooth talking assassin, James Bond (Daniel Craig), plummet to his untimely death. Then, you’re drowned in a wave of musical euphoria, Adele crooning her newest song, “Skyfall,” and you sit impatiently, anticipation building up inside of you, waiting to see what happens next.  The audience sat there utterly confounded and thinking there is absolutely no way they are going to kill off one of the most iconic character ever created, well at least that’s what I was thinking. The whole movie keeps you on edge of your seat from the unforeseen plot twists in every scene. I sat there thinking how cool it would be to be a gun-slinging, martini-drinking, expensive-clothes-wearing agent in the British secret service. I know it’s kind of pathetic that a James Bond movie got me so excited, but life would be so much more electrifying as an international badass. I knew I wasn’t the only one that was jumping out of my seat; I looked over and saw a woman moving side to the side in her seat along with James, ducking the imaginary bullets and explosions. Skyfall is a thrilling addition to the Bond collection, and in my opinion the best James Bond movie I have seen so far. It will be extremely hard to top it, but I’m dying to see them try.
