Quantum of Solace (2008)
It's hard to follow such an explosively popular film like Casino Royale, but this sequel does a pretty good job. What was so attractive about its predecessor was the gorgeously lush casino sets, and this one isn't as classy or smooth in its mise-en-scene. That said, the film has a grittier feel to it, and the scenes in the desert are beautiful and moody. The action sequences are wonderfully tense, particularly the opening one and another in the sky. Daniel Craig has settled comfortably into his role; it's nice to see him back in action. I liked it quite a bit.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)
I didn't find this very funny.
