Scotland is no country for old men! Swift shot: It's been fifty years since we were introduced to the screen version of Ian Fleming's 007. Skyfall marks the latest, arguably, greatest of the franchise. I grew up with the debonair Bond, Roger Moore.

You may question my meaning, but the movie involves an intriguing script and whence you see the film you will TRULY understand what the hell I am talking about. You have to see the entire film to completely understand the title, and when you … [Read more...] about Seven Psychopaths
