Casino Royale

Wasted the day sleeping and then...CASINO ROYALE! Joseph came late (as usual); perhaps I should buy him a timepiece for his birthday the next time. Entered the cinema late and was a little to surprised to see the sparse audience peppered randomly. Could have chosen better seats but decided to sit back and relax the show. It had all the ingredients of a James Bond Movie: hot girls, cool gadgets, thrilling chases, stylish villians and an added bonus. A Bond who can actually act! I watched Goldeneye the day before yesterday to conclude that Pierce Brosnan is but a handsome face. The free-running sequence at the construction site was explosive! Try picturing a guy climbing up a construction beam with his bare hands several stories high, and traversing an "obstacle course" with the ease of walking. Wish the ending tied up more of the loose ends instead of finishing with "Bond. James Bond", but I guess, it leaves room for a sequel. Maybe I can emulate Sebastian Foucan and attempt jumping over railings and stuff...
