31.PETITS ARRANGEMENTS AVEC MA MÈRE (2012, Denis Malleval, A+)
32.SKYFALL (2012, Sam Mendes, A+)
I prefer SKYFALL to QUANTUM OF SOLACE (2008, Marc Forster) and CASINO ROYALE (2006, Martin Campbell). I think SKYFALL is more "minimal" or "less spectacular" than I expected. That's why I like it. The fight at the Skyfall estate is quite minimal in my point of view, compared to other action films such as MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE -- GHOST PROTOCOL (2011, Brad Bird) and THE BOURNE LEGACY (2012, Tony Gilroy).
