From Russia with Love is the second Bond film and it stars Sean Connery once again as the indestructible super spy James Bond.  This film is a fairly solid and serious effort in the corpus of the James Bond film series. It surely will not disappoint fans of the genre.  

All of the traditional motifs are present such as exotic locales as the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey and the traditional staple of stunning women.

I generally like this film though it left much to be desired in the realm of real science fiction.  The Time Traveler's Wife is more of a romance film than it is is a true science fiction flick, but it was done well.  Still, I have to throw this one into the "chick flick" trunk.  To do otherwise, would be be to dish it a Joker in our Nerd World category.  I am not feeling bloody enough to do that today.  Plus, Brad Pitt produced this quixotic mush film.  He of Inglorious Basterds and Fight Club fame, gets a little leeway with saccharine cinema.

The Time Traveler's Wife is an adaption of a novel published in 2003 by Audrey Niffenegger. It is a love story about a man with a genetic disorder that causes him to time travel quite unpredictably.  Directed by Robert Schwentke, the film stars Eric Bana as Henry DeTamble, a Chicago librarian who ups and travels time for reasons never fully explained.  His wife, Clare DeTamble (Rachal McAdams) is an artist, who must cope with her husbands random absences and dust-ups in time.  Hey, at least he doesn't have a drinking problem.
