Casino Royale


Hey folks!! Watched Casino Royale last night for the first time on DVD. I really enjoyed this movie. I am not a huge James Bond fan. These movies are movies that I will watch if there is nothing else on T.V. and even then I would struggle through it. For the first time though I was actually quite excited to see this movie when it came out in theatres. I really like Daniel Craig and his acting abilities. He is a powerful actor and in my opinion is one of the best James Bonds so far. He brought a vulnerability to the character that I don't think we have seen in any James Bond movies. He also brings a sense of power and cockiness that really rang through in the Casino Royale.


One of the other reasons I really enjoyed this movie was that it wasn't full of cheese. There wasn't a bunch eye rolling one liners that would usually ruin these movies for me. It was straight forward and full of action. That torture see was something else as well. It gives me a new idea on what I will do if any of my students get out of hand. Just kidding, although sometimes students today can almost drive you to that point.


There are some excellent extras on this DVD and the one that I enjoyed the most was the one on one with Daniel Craig. Very relaxed and thoughtful in my opinion.


If you haven't seen this movie, check it out. You won't regret it.


Take care and enjoy the movies!!!
