So, Lexy and Dawn wanted to go see Happy Feet last night, but I realized that Casino Royale was playing at around the same time. Dave was hanging out so I figured, the girls can see their movie and the guys can go see some Bond. Daniel Craig does the role of 007 some very good justice. The movie itself was actually a fairly good movie. For a two and a half hour action movie the story actually kept me interested for the whole time. There was only a couple of times I looked at my watch wondering how far into the movie we were.

As everyone knows, Casino Royale is based off the book by Ian Flemming. This movie is actually the second Casino Royale made, the first one in 1967. The 2006 release is a kind of modern remake of the original story. It’s kind of a post Cold War version of the same book. So, it looks like they are going to redo the Bond story with a modern twinge. If you actually watched the movie and didn’t stay for the credits, you will have missed the fact that James Bond will return. There wasn’t an extra at the end, just a line at the end of the credits that said “James Bond Will Return.” If the successive movies are anything along the quality of this one, I will be very happy with the 007 franchise. So, even if you don’t like James Bond, check out this movie, it is actually fairly good for an action flick.

Oh, and something else, check out brand new episodes of Survivorman in February 2007.
