Skyfall (2012)

Daniel Craig and the other “Bond”-makers strike the perfect balance of art and action film, throwing away all those cheesy gadgets and cheeky dialogue, and there’s even a song by Adele. It is certainly the best Bond film of all time, but that’s not saying much.

Lou Myers (1935-2013)

Lou Myers found fame as grumpy old restaurant owner Mr. Gaines on “Cosby” spin-off “A Different World,” but he also had supporting roles in two movies by Ron Shelton — “Cobb” and “Tin Cup”— acted on Broadway and sang jazz and blues in a cabaret show.
