James Bond and a very weird experience


Bond is back - back to the beginning, with a new adaptation of Ian Fleming's first novel. Bond, now hard-edged and slightly less sophisticated in the capable hands of grim-jawed, azure-eyed Daniel Craig , only wins his spurs as a double-0 agent with his first two kills at the start of the movie (although its events are now set in 2006). Casino Royale (2006) pays homage to a Bond we have never seen before, a "realistic" and "damaged" individual, who doesn't always has a silly quip or gaget to get him out of trouble. We now have a talented "physical", more vital professional killer, who dominates the screen in a very different and exciting way than Moore, Dalton and the more campy Brosnan ever did. Craig ( Born in nearby Chester by the way). captures the right mixture of charm,toughness and ego, and I was quite bowled over by him! Chris was less impressed, giving the whole film 5/10, while Janet gave him and the film a definite thumbs up. Judi Dench, was excellent also as M, but the bond girls , Eva Green ( as the wonderful sounding Vesper Lynd) and Caterina Murino ( as Solange) were so-so! I gave the whole thing 9/10!

Yesterday had a dream about leaving my footprints in wet cement then being aware of a murder that actually did occur at Prestatyn's duck pond in 2002. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/1944329.stm
I gave the dream no thought until I walked the dogs down the beach.
We walked in an area of the Promenade that I have never gone, and suddenly there in the cement of a recently repaired part of the defenses were large men's footprints! Weird eh? anyhow the view broke my dream, and my surprise was increased later in the day when I bought the Daily Post and the story of the "Duckpond murderer" escaping his hostel in Wrexham was splashed over the front page! isnt that weird?
hummmm.........
