Brent and I joined Mark, Don, and Blossom for a Saturday night showing of "Casino Royale." For those of you who haven't seen it yet...it is most definately the best Bond flick in a long, long time.After over a decade of rotating rather boring, dreadful actors in and out of the 007 roll (Timothy who? Brosnon what?), the producers brought in Daniel Craig, a rather fresh face to the American movie screen (and quite easy on the eyes, too). He brings a whole new freshness to the role - and to the franchise, which had become quite stale under Mr. Dalton and Mr. Brosnon.
The plot? It doesn't really matter. "Casino Royale" is hip, high-octane excitement and reinvigorates the James Bond brand. And Daniel Craig is the best - and sexiest - 007 yet.
Side note: The song to this film sucks! That is my one real complaint about "Casino Royale." It makes me yearn for the days when a song from a new James Bond flick was performed by a major artist and went to #1. You know...songs like these classics:
"Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney and Wings
"Nobody Does It Better" by Carly Simon (from "The Spy Who Loved Me")
"A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran
