Casino Royale

See. This. Movie.

I went with some friends (four guys and two other women) to watch it tonight, and we all thought it was great.

Daniel Craig is superb. Amazing. And sexy as goddamn hell. (And normally I don't go for blonds.) As I was watching the film, I was trying to come up with adjectives for him - taut, cool, prowling, edgy, dark. You're going to smirk when you read this, but I found him panther-like. I stand by this comparison.

The movie has a lot going for it. It's dark and certainly violent, but the action sequences are dramatic and very cool. Eva Green makes an excellent Bond "girl" (and has very good chemistry with Mr. Craig), and Dame Judi Dench is of course fantastic as M. Add some expensive cars, exotic locations, and some killer one-liners, and what else do you need to make you forget any troubles you might have for a couple of hours???? :)
