By Colin Greten The 23th installment of the James Bond franchise, "Skyfall" is finally here and has already generated serious box office and critical success. With a franchise such as Bond, one that is literally action packed, it is interesting that Sam Mendes was chosen as the director. Mendes is a superb director and "Skyfall" is already this is being heralded as one of, if not the best, Bonds of all time.

Both storylines are interesting, but at least in this take we get a better look at the shower scene, replete with Scarlett Johansson's impressive version...

Floppy-haired thesp Ben Whishaw is having an autumn for the ages. Hot on the heels of a starring role opposite Tom Hanks, Susan Sarandon and Halle Berry in the Wachowski's mesmerizing drama "Cloud Atlas," the 31-year-old is enlisting in Her Majesty's Service as gadget guru Q in James Bond's latest romp "Skyfall." But the actor is no neophyte—like many of his countrymen, Whishaw cut his teeth in theater (theatre?) before landing roles in "I'm Not There," "Brideshead Revisited" and "The Tempest." He arguably shines brightest, however, in the...
