The 007 marathon: Casino Royale

Two words: "Thumbs up!" Coba007 (Cô Ba 'double oh seven') likes double/secret agents, particularly James Bond's -- cool gadgets and awesome adventures. Brother in Black and I went to see this flick. I loved Casino Royale. I think it's the best Bond 007 film yet. The film did a great job rebooting the 007 franchise. Daniel Craig is surprisingly good. He doesn't look like anyone's idea of James Bond (looks and all), but he plays the character very well. If you haven't seen the movie, I won't spoil the fun. If you like Star Wars, Tomb Raider, Indiana Jones, and the adventurous flicks, you'll like Casino Royale. If you're seeking for realism, this film is not for you. One thing that stood out about 007 films is the witty repartee in the dialogue. I laughed and enjoyed this movie:
Vesper Lynd: Am I going to have a problem with you, Bond?
James Bond: No, don't worry. You're not my type.
Vesper Lynd: Smart?
James Bond: Married.
And when a bartender ask if if he wants his martini shaken or stirred, 007 allegedly responds "why the hell should I care?" Haha. Anyhow, the writing and direction are excellent. Very good panache and concept. A good Saturday night movies at the theatre.

One more: "Drat! The bastards got me!!" Tee hehe.
