casino royale


Now that I'm in the business of recommending things, I going to recommend going to the movies to watch the new Bond movie.


Not only because two of the actors in the movie are danish (Le Chiffre played by Mads Mikkelsen and Mr. White by Jesper Christensen), but because it is a good movie. I like the whole idea of telling the story of how Bond became Bond. Much like "Batman Begins", it is a great way to reintroduce it with a new actor to us younger fans. The movie is like your typical Bond movie: hot cars, hot girls and great action scenes. But Daniel Craig, much like the new Batman, brings a more rugged persona to James Bond - thereby making him more realistic. If you don't like action movies or Bond movies this movies is not for you. Casino Royale has the usual Bond plot, which actually has its charm, and it also has some twist you don't expect.


The movie is also banking on the poker craze that has hit the world the last couple of years. Hate it or love it...

I can also recommend the movie "Layer Cake" with Daniel Craig in it, if you like movies like "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels".
