Good. Very good movie.
Sunday, December 17, 2006

I never thought I'd live to say this but... Daniel Craig IS the best Bond yet. I saw the movie last week when Kuya JJ was here but I never thought all the reviews and feedback would hold water. After all, this is a sun-blond actor with a back problem and eyelashes that make you just want to reach out and apply mascara at. Was I in for a surprise or what. When I first heard about yet ANOTHER Casino Royale movie earlier this year, I told Hoen, "Just how many times do I have to watch this movie? I saw the first two and even that Woody Allen one. Are they running out of ideas??" Apparently not. They wanted a rugged Bond to spar with the rest of the hardcore action movies that just came out. I mean, just how many women does he have to sleep with and no mention of an STD or an HIV test?

Anyway, Daniel Craig, kudos to you. Your eyes did it all. Not your walk, not the off way you were holding the gun on your hand that starts off every bond movie... it was your acting and it was really really good. I hope to see more of you.

** There's a part in the movie where Bond chases his girl. She was wearing red at the time. He runs to the streets, sprints along the sidewalk and misses her. I SAW HER BECAUSE OF HER DRESS so I pointed at the movie screen and went, "Kato! Kato! Didto! Naa siya didto!". It cracked up Kuya JJ and Hoen! Hahaha! All those stories of provincial people pointing at movie screens and screaming at actors? GUILTY AS CHARGED! Now I am a walking anecdote. Hehe.
