The new James Bond movie “Skyfall” continues to dominate the box office and if you weren’t able to catch it due to tickets becoming sold out all over Austin, it’s not too late to pick this movie as this weekend’s date night flick. Now ladies, some of you may not be huge fans of the butt-kicking films that your guy is always bragging about, but there is so much more to this movie than just the typical action sequences.

 
For example, the theme song to this movie just happens to be sung by the one and only Adele. Its chilling melody opens the movie perfectly and it will be
stuck in your head long after the movie is over (currently going through this myself).

 

The plot revolves around Bond having to prove his loyalty to M as she is sought after by someone from her past. Now, if you are completely lost by what I just said, that’s perfectly okay! You don’t have to have seen the rest of the Bond movies to keep up. This plot driven movie will have you on your edge of
your seat as you root for James!
 
So, you’re still not convinced, huh? Well, Bond is played by this fairly well known actor. Maybe you’ve heard of him… Daniel Craig? If you don’t go see this movie based on his acting chops, then let his smooth debonair ways be the deciding factor. Who doesn’t love a guy who can rock a tuxedo and bow tie nowadays? Plus, having your guy repeat the famous line “Bond, James Bond” will have you swooning over your very own suave spy.
