THE B-list rules Hollywood’s fall and holiday movie season: Bond, Bella and Bilbo. Daniel Craig is back as James Bond in “Skyfall,” the secret agent’s first adventure in four years, one of the longest 007 hiatuses in the franchise’s 50-year history. Kirsten Stewart returns for her swan song as Bella Swan, alongside vampire hubby Robert Pattinson and jealous werewolf pal Taylor Lautner in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2,” the franchise finale. And Bilbo Baggins goes jewelry shopping for an evil ring in “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the first installment in Peter Jackson’s three-part prelude to his Academy Award-winning adaptation of J.R.R.
