Casino Royale

007 the pre-years. Daniel Craig is great as a rough James Bond. He makes errors and gets emotional and it's a fun ride on both sides of the screen.

I wasn't sure I'd like a blond Bond. He wasn't thin or dashing or super suave, but I didn't seem to mind. He was charming, hot and definitely a risk-taking sharp shooter and a Bond we can all relate to.

I saw this opening weekend. The theatre was packed and everyone was amazed that it was so good. I love Bond movies in general even if they tend to be too long and the lines more punny than cheecky most of the time- such sas "I thought Christmas only came once a year" etc. But this one was refreshingly different, edgier with more poignant music and good villans.

Taking raw talent and shaping it is always fun to watch. The movie had a good mix of everything people go to movies for. And if you're looking for a good time, see this movie.

Worth the money: $$$$
