Casino Royale
Madame Cura and I saw the new James Bond flick this weekend and found it entertaining and diverting, and Daniel Craig is a refreshing change from the self-parodies represented by the last two Bondses.
But the plot, while typically thin, was less than inspiring. No longer does Bonds aspire to save the U.S. space mission from SPECTRE; or the gold in Ft. Knox from Goldfinger; to end the world's energy crisis; or even to maintain East/West detente. No, all the mayhem that marks the start of Casino Royale, we learn, is intended to protect an airline's stock price.
Caterina Murino's stock, on the other hand, will never fall.
