Quantum of Solace

Flixster Plot: Seeking revenge for the death of his love, secret agent James Bond sets out to stop an environmentalist from taking control of a country's water supply.

My take: Casino was better, but this was not too shabby at all. Bumped up to 3.5 because Olga Kurylenko has short hair and did not die. Makes such a change from all the usual Bond girls who die with long tresses.

Alicia Keys & Jack White - Another Way to Die

Over-enthusiastic syncopation, over-use of triplets - this has OTT written all over it. Apart from learning that Jack White can play almost any instrument (which I already knew), not much can be learnt from this directionless mess.

Lara Croft - Tomb Raider

Plot: Based on a popular video game, director Simon West's adventure places English aristocrat Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) in the middle of a battle with a secret society. Skilled in hand-to-hand combat, the shapely archaeologist moonlights as a tomb raider to recover lost antiquities. She meets her match in the evil Powell (Iain Glen), who's in search of a relic that holds power over time … and life. Jon Voight appears as Lara's dearly departed dad.

My take: OK lah.
