Tonight J is staying with his grandparents for the first time, as a result we are having our first night alone for 13½months! We're on some kind of a roll having had K&L as baby sitters last night whilst we went to see the new James Bond film.
Firstly a quick review of Casino Royale:
Daniel Craig is a good actor which helps a lot. The film is more brutal than all of the recent Bonds, if I recall correctly, the only other time that there is any brutality in a Bond film was in Dr. No. I enjoyed the film, but it's a far cry from the Roger Moore era of films that I was allowed to enjoy as a kid, this one's not for young children. A good action film, and it needs to be good as many of the Bond signatures such as gadgets, effects and corny jokes are no longer there. Good action, plot, script, cars and watches!
In other news, I haven't gone to the Christmas party tonight, I couldn't make the interesting part because of a meeting so I'm sitting home alone writing this whilst MK is at her party.
I am sitting at home as well- Elaine is in Brum with her friends. Mr. T and I are going to go for a swim in the morning.

Interesting that your review of the movie agreed with the one I heard on the radio.
ReplyDeleteThey said Bond no longer thinks his way out of trouble while being clever and sexy. Now mostly just violent. They said that Bond had been updated for the first time since the 60's just in time to go out of fashion again.
Perhaps you should get a spot on the Jonathan Ross show.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you enjoyed your evening out.
