Late Reviews.

Casino Royale:

James Bond has never been so gritty, realistic and such a jerk. You see Bond as he goes from a messy and violent first kill to a totally remorseless second. No silly gadgets, no Koreans turn redhead, no geriatric spies; just pure unadulterated action.
And Eva Green, who lights up the screen as one of the best acting Bond girls like, ever.
Just like with Batman, a good director manages to resuscitate a floundering franchise.

Chronicles of Narnia:

A good example of doing a lot with limited resources; the little girl and the youngest boy really pull their weight, and the modest special effects are used very effectively.
While the story is rough and under developed in a few places, Liam Neeson’s voice as the Lion and an amazing Tilda Swinton as the White Witch manage to move the whole movie forward.

Spiderman 3:

An amazing letdown. The story is poorly told, and gets terribly maudlin in the end.
Venom was cool but felt tacked on, and the sandman was an outright predictable character. And why are directors compelled to kill all the bad guys? What does it prove? Are movie-going audiences so stupid they need all the cool enemies killed because it gives them closure? Good thing the chances for another one are pretty slim, it’s better to quit while you are ahead.
