Casino Royale (DVD, 2008)

Casino Royale introduces Daniel Craig as James Bond. He easily assumes the identity and in a quite believable manner. He has the cold, rugged look of what one would expect of a Bond character, along with a fit, hansom, and rather obscure appearance. As a recently promoted OO-agent, he coldly and uncaringly "makes his bones" with the assassination of a rogue government agent. He immediately demonstrates that he is goal orientated and cares little about what anyone else thinks about his methods. Judy Dench plays "M" and after a shaky start with Bond, realizes his worth when, in a rather unorthodox manner, he uncovers an underground terrorist banking network. When Bonds actions prevent the destruction of a billion dollar prototype aircraft at Miami International Airport, it becomes clear that someone has lost over $100M in the stock market betting that the aircraft would be destroyed. The terrorist banker and loanshark, La Chiffre, was the person on the losing end, and the lost funds belonged to his "investors", terrorists, warlords, rogue governments and hijackers. Instead of making a fortune betting the wrong way on the stock, he now must devise a plan to replace the money. This is done by setting up a high-stakes poker game, "winner take all", in Montenegro. The buy-in is $10M, with an additional $5M if needed. Ten players, meaning a potential $150M game. Le Chiffre is a chess and cards prodigy, and Bond is entered into the game. The idea is to financially break Le Chiffre and then offer him protection from his "investors" for information. In old Bond films, there was always some group like SPECTRE or SMERSH, or other arch-villan organization. In this movie we have the Mysterious Mr. White, who is head of the worldwide terrorist banking system. Le Chiffre will ultimately have to answer to him if unsuccessful at Montenegro. The pretty girl; there is always a pretty girl, Vesper Lind (Eva Green), is the British Govt. accountant in charge of Bond's funds for the tournament. She is very similar to Bond in personality, and the chemistry between them is obvious. Of course, during all of this banter, there are several unsuccessful attempts on Bond, each leading up to the eventual defeat of La Chiffre in spectacular fashion. In the typical Bond fashion, there is an action packed anit-climactical ending, where Bond, reveals a side never seen before. He has been truly hurt, emotionally, by Vesper's death, but now, another door is opened. . .Hello Mr. White. . .and the story goes on. . . I feel that Daniel Craig may just wind up being the best Bond since Sean Connery.Read full review...

Casino Royale - Fanatastic Reboot Of The Bond Brand!!

When I first heard that James Bond was being recast and that they were going to go with a Blonde Bond I was a little concerned-Not being familiar with Daniel Craig's work I was a skeptical about his casting and I was wondering what Pierce Brosnan had done to piss off the producers-After all they had waited for him for over a decade an now after several films he was done?--To be honest I hadn't really seen a James Bond flick since View to a Kill(and I was wincing all throught it- Roger really should have hung it up before this movie)- Then I saw Casino Royale on tv and well,- wow. Daniel Craig is easily the best Bond since Sean Connery-He has that same gritty street quality and actually makes you beleive that Bond can kick your ass- Unlike Roger,Timothy, or even Pierce who came off(to me anyway) as a little too refined. This movie has a top-notch story,great direction and famtastic casting. I waited until I got a great price on this set because this set has a load of featurettes on the making of the new Bond. I highly reccomend this set James bond fan or not!!Read full review...

Pineapple Express (DVD, 2010)

Lazy court-process clerk and stoner Dale Denton has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver: to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express. But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop and the city's most dangerous drug lord, he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him--and it is. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they're not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia: incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All aboard the Pineapple Express!Read full review...
