QUANTUM OF SOLACE. Simply put, if you liked the no-frills asskickery of Casino Royale, it won't disappoint, even if it's not quite as good. This sequel continues the storyline with the same kinetic Bourne style of action and rough-edged character development.
THE QUEEN. Not usually my cup of tea (ha!), but the flick really grows on you after awhile. Acting was outstanding, and the Oscar® deserved. Mirren adds humanity to the crown while maintaining her stiff uppper lip. It was also fascinating to learn about the antiquated role of the royals in modern English government.
