Movie Man
When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

The what of what?

And the title of the next James Bond movie is  … drum roll please … “The Quantum of Solace.”

Confusing? Sure. Intriguing? Maybe. Better than “Octopussy”? Definitely.

Apparently, the title comes from one of Bond author Ian Fleming’s old short story collections. Truth is, the title barely matters. All people need to know is that it’s the new James Bond movie, and that Daniel Craig is back as 007. Who cares what it’s called?

The stories never have much to do with the movies anyway — if you don’t believe me, read “The Spy Who Loved Me” and try to find the character with the steel teeth named “Jaws.” In fact, try to find James Bond in the first half of the book. Good luck.

    This is good news! Casino Royale was the first Bond movie I’ve seen (I’ve seen most, but not all) in which Bond seemed real. Daniel Craig treated his character as an actual person, not a cartoon character. I can’t wait to see the next one…..
