Casino Royale:

Just came back from watching this gem of a movie on a 22.4 m wide cinema screen and the experience was exhilarating to say the least. The movie though a tad long for a bond flick is surprisingly driven by dialogs, characters and not gadgets for once. Daniel Craig excels as Bond and gives a performance that in my opinion is above and beyond anything I’ve seen in any other Bond movie barring those starring Sean Connery (though I feel compelled to rate Daniel even higher, I’ll wait till his second Bond flick). The sheer physicality, edginess, strength and emotions that he brings to his character is enough to keep you glued to the screen till the very end.
All in all I can safely say that James Bond has just taken rebirth and this time round it’s all for good. I can’t wait to see future Bond movies starring Daniel.

what he said 😀
It’s bringing Bond back to street level but still containing the style.This is a 00 that you don’t wanna mess with.For once,it’s a film revolving around people and not set pieces or gadgets (the Aston Martin hardly gets a look in but does create a world record 😎 )with a few good twists and a couple of good chuckles in reference to the past Bond films.
Set pieces……the crane chase,the machette fight in the stair-well(getting low-down and bloody),the sinking house,not forgetting the “I’ve got an itch”scene (Outch…..painfull)
Saw this at The Odeon Leicester Square and will see it a few times more at my local multiplex over the next couple of weeks.
BOND IS BACK,all we need now are some good new stories.

Has anybody in the Eastern World seen any of these…..

Forbidden Quest
King And The Clown
Scrap Heaven
Daisy

Not expecting many replys;)

CARS….saw this a few days ago on DVD and it’s another cracking Pixar film.Kids of ALL ages will love it.I reckon it’s gotta be the best effort yet from Pixar.Every dust particle,every reflection and every sound effect is done to perfection.

By the way has anyone of you seen “the babel’ as yet?

Still waiting for a release in the UK.

The Host sux, period. Take my word for it and don’t watch it. Absolutely the worst movie I’ve seen EVER.

Granted,this film,which surpriseingly is the most popular Koeran film ever,is NOT the best i’ve seen coming out of this country.It’s billed as a comedy/horror and has been given a 12A certificate in the UK,so I suppose that’s gonna be some sort of guide to how scarey the BBFC thaught it was and,apart from bad table manners,I didn’t get the humour either.Nor did the guy who did the sub-titles!
Story-wise,chemicals are dumped into river,pondlife mutates,climbs out of river and starts eating people.While this tale has been covered many times in the past,I must give a big shout to the CG department.This mutated,what I can only describe as a salamander (those little squidgy guys in the Guinness adverts),is top-notch,and you don’t have to wait too long to see it in all it’s glory.Only the CG fire effects at the end are pretty weak.The speakers are given a good work-out,especially the subs :diablo:
Unless you’re into Korean films,don’t rush to see this.When I saw it in a 150 seat theatre at 6pm on a Saturday afternoon,there were 4 Koreans and 5 Europeans,one of which was me.This is about par for the course compared with every Asian film i’ve seen locally.Even Sympathy For Lady Vengeance only attracted around 15 bums-on-seats :confused:
