Link: Casino Royale Because There's no Bond like the new Bond. Even Connery, while more cunning, wasn't this blunt or sociopathic. Brilliant performance by Daniel Craig, brilliant remaking of a classic but ridiculous franchise into a serious art again. I'm heading off to watch it again. And again...

Movie: Serenity Because there's nothing quite like a good sci-fi film... except for a great sci-fi film; this is one of the best.
