No Mr. Bond I Expect You to Die

If you haven't seen the latest Bond film "Casino Royale" you should really check it out. I think I've said that it's the best Bond film in a long time and that the new James Bond, Daniel Craig, is at least Sean Connery good . . . or he was in that film. In fact I think it's safe to say that for once I'm looking forward to another Bond movie coming out.

But what if you're really busy and don't have the two hours needed to watch Casino Royale let alone the 1157 other Bond movies? Well you're in luck. Now you can watch every Bond film ever reenacted by Bunnies in a bout half a minute by clicking here. If you liked that one there are more to watch here. But perhaps you prefer your movies reenacted by plush toys instead of bunnies. If so you're in luck (and a little strange for having a preference) because here's the movie Snatch reenacted by toys and here's Trainspotting. I think they're brilliant - both the original films and the toy based ones.

Snatch is pretty much a higher budget more Hollywood version of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Both are well worth watching and I don't think I'm saying that just because I'm a mark for almost anything British.

Trainspotting is a great movie and a great book by Irvine Welsh. But damn if it's not a hard read I don't know what is. The story is narrated by the characters and since it's set in Edinburgh each one has a wildly different accent and manner of speech and Welsh writes it how they'd speak. If you've seen the movie know what I'm talking about. Welsh is a good writer, I've read several of his books and enjoyed them all (gotta love the life of a Yob, eh?), but they're defo a mental work out.

Since we're talking movies, there's a big screen version of the TV Show Get Smart in the works. Steve Carell (I remember him when he just a correspondent on the Daily Show) will be playing Maxwell Smart and Anne Hathaway Agent 99. I think this one should be a winner the show was hilarious. Would you believe quite funny?

Anyway that's enough for today, later.
