JOE takes a look at the best that the world of music and entertainment has to offer and recommends one track or film that you should download, with thanks to the good folks at Magnet.

This week’s Daily Download is the twenty-third James Bond Film, one of the most successful films of all time, the audience-worshipped and critically-acclamied, Skyfall.
After the brilliant start that Daniel Craig made to his Bond career with 2006’s Casino Royale, he followed it up with the messy Quantum of Solace in 2008, so all eyes were on 007 to see if Eon Productions could go bigger and better again.
And they sure didn’t disappoint.
Bringing Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes on board was a stroke of genius as he injected the franchise with the energy and class it had been lacking. Providing the audience with one of the best, crackin’, creepy baddies in Javier Bardem’s Raoul Silva, this Bond installment packed a whole lot of punch, as well as heart (we didn’t cry, we swear), mixing the new (Ben Whishaw joining the cast as Q) and the old (a certain welcome vehicular cameo).
The great thing about Skyfall is that it lives up to repeated viewing, as this JOE can testify to having seen it in the cinema on a number of occasions. And it’s for this reason that the film is an ideal candidate for download – you can sit back, relax and watch it at your own leisure. About 90 million times.
While you’re downloading the film, you might as well download Adelle’s massive soundtrack hit of the same name – “Let the SkyyyyFAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, when it CRUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEESSSSSSSS.” And so on… we’re pretty good singers as you can probably tell.
Have a look at the trailer here to get in the mood:
