Skyfall (Hollis)

I asked Uncle Harvey Lee if it would be okay if I wrote today's blog on my own. I wanted to talk about the new Bond movie Skyfall. He said he didn't mind because he wasn't of a mind to see it and even if he did he would not want to talk about it.
Last night my girlfriend and I settled down to watch Skyfall. As with all Bond movies we didn't talk a lot during the viewing. It was as we expected loaded with action. After it was over we looked at each other and started laughing. We both had the same impression. It was the least original of all the 007 films. They borrowed from Home Alone (the old house in Scotland,) The Silence of the Lambs (glass cage,) MacGyver (making the most of crude resources,) The Fugitive (going over a waterfall,) the old Saturday serials (hero didn't really get killed after all,) and various soap operas (killing off characters who will be leaving series.)
There will be more Bond movies; they indicated that in the last frame. Hopefully, an original plot will evolve. However, with all we've already seen it may be easier to imagine a new and heretofore unseen color.
In spite of all this we did enjoy this action packed film.
