' Sky Fall ' - A 'Windfall' for James Bond
James Bond is Back - and How!
It is not a James Bond film, it is a Sam Mendes movie- and that makes all the difference.

With some 400 films to choose from one might say
that everybody sees a different festival over a ten day period. Of the official

arguably the most bleak, depressing , and boring film ever made. It's all
about two miserable people livinng in a miserable life in a miserable hut

Like it or not what really makes a festival like Berlin second only to Cannes --besides the 400 or so films from around the world shown --is the St***ar power it generates, and festival director Dieter Kosslick makes no bones about this. He goes all out to invite as many big name stars as possible and even claims that the worst nightmare of his ten year posting as festival dire...
