Ahead of the curve: Weekly pop culture calendarAfter five years, hundreds of millions of dollars, and really passionate fans, the end is here.

Entertainment Weekly gave the film an "A" grade, praising it as a "freshly oxygenated entry" in the 50-year-old Bond film series, and a "great, long-lasting jolt of pleasure." See if you agree when Daniel Craig takes his third turn as 007 in theaters this weekend. Here's what else you shouldn't miss this week:

Ahead of the Curve: Weekly pop culture calendarWell, we already know that we should expect at least one of Tom Hanks' characters in "Cloud Atlas" to swear, since he accidentally dropped the F-bomb while in character on "Good Morning America" Friday. But he's not starring in all the roles - "Cloud Atlas," adapted from David Mitchell's acclaimed novel, also stars Halle Berry, Hugh Grant and Hugo Weaving. See how well the Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer pulled off their adaptation of Mitchell's intertwining stories when it arrives in theaters Friday. Here's what else you shouldn't miss this week: |
