Casino Royale

A fabulous new James Bond. I tended to like that it was more emotional and less violent overall. Yes, things blowing up are all well and good in the movies, but this movie just didn't need it. Apparently this is the movie they say is most like the books, and I'm excited to read it. So I've put it on my list. It seemed like this was the first book, for he had just been promoted to his double-zero-seven status, but the movie wasn't promoted as such. It was an inconsequential bit anyway. The movie's plot: James Bond needs to save the world from the financier of terrorists. In a poker match.

I loved it. I'm not sure if it's a necessary movie to see in the theaters, but the camera work was great and apparently the man from HMC was a bit part. Which I can barely remember. Still very cool.
