""Casino Royale" blew me away. It is a fantastic movie in every way, and also the best Bond so far! I have always liked Pierce Brosnan (for some reason, other people didn't) in this prestigious role, and now that he has retired as a 00 agent, it is great to see someone even better replace him. "Casino Royale" revisits the beginnings of the well-known British secret agent, and it does so in a very stylish manner. Every second of the movie is carefully thought out, and it really is perfect. James Bond is now played by Daniel Craig ("Elizabeth", "Sylvia", "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider"), who adds an interesting twist to this well-known character. Apparently, in the beginning, Bond couldn't care less if his martini was shaken or stirred, his first kill was pretty rough and not at all elegant, and he was also a little kinky. Of course, he has always been very cool, with the latest gadgets, fast cars and beautiful women. Speaking of women, "Casino Royale" doesn't disappoint. The latest Bond gi ... "

"Though the third Fast and the Furious installment, Tokyo Drift, wasn’t a huge box office disappointment with its $63 million domestic gross, it was significantly less successful than its predecessors, The Fast and the Furious ($145 million) and 2 Fast 2 Furious ($127 million). A fourth film would normally see an even bigger drop in box office receipts, but next week’s Fast & Furious has a good chance of actually being the highest-grossing film in the series yet, due to the return of original cast members Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordanna Brewster and, most im "

"Make no mistake, 2008 was the year of the woman. From politics to multiplex, they were the most newsworthy. At the box office, week after week brought about stories about how, mother of all shockers, women enjoy going to the movies too. From summer “event movies” (usually an exclusive boys tree house where "No Gurlz Allowd"), to record-breaking such as best opening for a female director, women were the new black at the box office. In 2008: Twilight was the highest-grossing film opening by a female director (at $70 million); It received the second-largest advanced ticket sales, trailing only The Dark Knight; Sex and the City was the best opening ever for an R-rated comedy; The SATC gals also debuted as the fifth best R-rated film of all time; The film also bested Mission Impossible as the best debut of a film based on a TV show. Now, perhaps next year we can do the same with good movies. Sex in the City was the female equivalent of Iron Man, replacing magical gad ... "

"The rising action plateaus, a mini-climax occurs, and many are left complaining about a lack of "plot". Personally, I think some people should take some time reviewing the elements of plot. This story doesn't lack a plot, it is merely not the entire plot of a story on its own. Perhaps the end should have been a giant "TO BE CONTINUED..." to help all of the less than observant viewers grasp the reality that this film's plot is part of a larger storyline. Overall I greatly enjoyed the pace and action of the film. Perhaps I'm just an adrenaline addict, but the breakneck speed of events in this film was a welcome change of pace from other action movies I've watched. I also appreciated the more gritty and raw version of Bond. Casino Royale reshaped the image of Bond as a more human character with real emotions, even capable of love, and hate. Quantum of Solace built on this persona by showing Bond as being loyal to M, passionate about avenging his lost love, and capable of caring about ... "

"Daniel Craig is back as James Bond, and he's not happy.In Quantam of Solace, director Marc Forster's first foray into the 007 franchise, Bond remains noticeably stricken from his painful love affair with the now-deceased, double-crossing Vesper Lynd. "M" has her agent on constant surveillance and is ready to ground him at the slightest hint of professional weakness. He is a young double-0, after all.Craig is once again solid, confirming his casting for 2006's series overhaul Casino Royale. He's tough, but vulnerable, not afraid to cap a room full of enemies, wreak countless structural and artistic damage, and then be haunted by what he's done. Bond's blossoming insomnia is a refreshing shift from the happy-go-lucky persona employed most recently by Pierce Brosnan. With a growing number of personal issues, it's worth wondering how disturbed young Bond grew up to be a beyond cool superspy.Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric) makes an appealing, sniveling villain, but he feels like such a ...

"Maxim has named Quantum of Solace actress Olga Kurylenko “the hottest Bond Girl ever.” How does one even make such an assessment, when there are so many memorable Bond Girl moments? Remember Ursula Andress, rising from the sea in a bikini? Or Halle Berry, rising from the sea in a bikini? Or Famke Janssen sex-attacking Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye? (Oh, Famke. You really know how to pick a paycheck.) If you answered “Sure. Whatever.” to one or both of those first two examples, I have a statistic that I’d like to share with you. Did you know that there’s an extremely high rate of death amongst Bond Girls who have worn a bikini? It’s true. Based on my extraordinarily scientific research, out of 11 Bond girls who had “bikini moments,” to borrow the terminology used on JamesBondWiki, five died before the end of the film. That’s 45 p "

"I had a chance to see Quantum of Solace last night, and while I didn’t enjoy it as much as Casino Royale (is Daniel Craig already wearing out his welcome as the new Bond?) it does have some spectacular action sequences. However, if the Blonde Bond wasn’t enough to shake up the franchise for long, what could happen if Bond were re-imagined by some of Hollywood’s top filmmakers? There are a lot of different things that could be done with the character if someone were given free rein to reinterpret Bond as they saw fit. After the jump, we imagine the five hypothetical films that five wildly different working filmmakers might make if Bond were put in their hands. We’ve taken a bit of license here (although not a license to kill), so use your imagination with the Bonds that could be, no matter how extremely loosely interpreted.

""Quantum of Solace" is not so much a new James Bond film as it is an epilogue to "Casino Royale," which is not meant as a complaint, but merely an observation. While not marked by the same measured dramatic strides "Royale" made when it so successfully relaunched the franchise with its most thrilling installment in decades, "Solace" nevertheless solidifies Craig's reign as the most magnetic Bond the series has known (sorry Connery fans). With "Solace" clocking in at just over 90 minutes, though, he's not provided with much breathing room to showcase sophistication, or display his humorous side. No, here it's all about leaping from one action spectacle to the next with nary a nanosecond to catch one's breath. Some c "

"It's been a while since I last did a top 5 list but my appetite for Bond has been whetted by the news that there will be Blu-Ray releases this year for Dr No, From Russia With Love, Thunderball, Live and Let Die and Die Another Day. Now, one of those films may be my least favourite Bond movie of all time (and another one of those is certainly bottom half of my league table) but nonetheless the news has me pumped. So when I thought to myself "What top 5 should I tackle next?" the choice was obvious. Bond has been in my blood since I first saw The Spy Who Loved Me when I was five or six and I quickly became hooked on the series. The first films I bought on DVD when I went to University were the Bond films and I watched and rewatched them throughout my time there, on at least two occassions marathoning the films and watching them back to back. I have seen only two movies at the theatre - the last two - and I can "
