Re: Casino Royale [2006]
The opening action sequence is great. There's a new age "sport" like that called "parkour" and the fellow "Bond" chases is played by Sébastien Foucan, a real-life parkour hotshot.
"Most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives." ~Leo Tolstoy
"It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character." ~Dale Turner
"Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either." ~Albert Einstein
"Truth is incontrovertible; malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it; but, in the end, there it is." ~Winston Churchill

Re: Casino Royale [2006]
Agree with DavidRoss about the opening scene. I found it to be the highlight of the film. Craig is no Connery, but the film was enjoyable nonetheless. I found the following film with Craig, Quantum of Solace, to be not as good as this one.

I can't ever remember not just enjoying, but truly "appreciating" a Bond (James Bond) film as much.
Did you notice after that incredible foot chase, he wasn't even breathing hard?!

Re: Casino Royale [2006]
A light bit of fun - but just once I'd like to see a high-stakes poker game where the guy wins with pairs of sevens and nines, not a straight-flush or four aces that always appears in movies and never at a table with real money on it.
Once in my life I did get four of a kind - and everyone else folded. Best hand I ever had was jacks and kings, not even a full house. The art of poker is not relying on outrageous luck, but turning King-Seven off-suit into a winning hand.
