‘Bond, James Bond’ in latest, ‘Spectre,’; ‘Miss You Already’ Now Screening (Mon., 11/09/15)

1) Spectre – This is the last time Daniel Craig will be appearing as James Bond. (Or, rather, he said in a recent interview that the only way he’d play Bond again is if they paid him a lot of money. Considering that he got $17 million for Skyfall, exactly how much does he consider “a lot” to be?) This time around Bond is investigating an evil, secret group known as SPECTRE. Meanwhile on the home front, British politicians are trying to shut down the Secret Service. Christoph Waltz is the villain, with Ralph Fiennes as “M,” Ben Whishaw as “Q” and Andrew Scott as “C.” (I’m not making that up.) Sam Mendes, the director of Skyfall, returns as well. Check Fandango for screens and times. (TH)

2) Miss You Already – A throwback to what used to be called a “woman’s picture”, this looks like a Beaches for a new millennium. Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette star as two women who’ve been friends from childhood. Inseparable since, their friendship is severely tested as the two hit middle age and life gets in the way. Jess (Barrymore) and her husband Kit, played by Dominic Cooper, finally conceive a much longed-for child at the same time that Milly (Collette) is diagnosed with cancer. Paddy Considine also stars, along with a rare appearance by Jacqueline Bisset. Catherine Hardwicke directs this four-hankie weeper. Check Fandango for screens and times.

3) The Charlie G./G3 Project, featuring Charlie G. Sanders on vocals and George Heid III on drums, will be providing the sweet jazz sounds for tonight’s Savoy Restaurant’s Savoy Jazz Mondays 6 – 10 p.m. Liven up your Monday with some great jazz. No cover. 2623 Penn Ave., Strip District.
