Casino Royale
Saw the latest Bond film at the beginning of the week. Very good it was too. A little overlong but still entertaining. The opening sequence is shot in Black & White, presumably to get the audience used to Bonds blonde hair! It works very well as an 'origin' story to Britains top spy and a good way to hear the famous five words, the last line in the movie! It will be intersting to see whether they redo any more of Flemings books (the second Bond novel after Casino Royale was Live & Let Die) or whether they go back to original screenplays as per the Brosnan Bond films. As for Daniel Craig, when you get over the hair he is rather very good! Eva Green was hot too, despite being a bit of a wet drip when confronted with violence.
Next film I'll make an effort to go to will be Ghost Rider, based on the Marvel comic starring Nicholas Cage.
