Bring on the Fringe!
I can't wait to see Uncle Chop Chop, for f*kn bingo even, definitely planning to harden the f*ck up, the moustaches are on their way... I've even got some old aviator sunnies around the place somewhere...
Ross Noble has been a hero of mine for some time now, so Fizzy Logic is a definite must see, I do miss the bright red and or white hair though :)
reports in due time...
and now for:
Casino Royale
Well that was quite a ride indeed, from the opening credit animation where 2D people are being killed all over the place by card suits and bleeding all over a background mainly comprised of two-minute noodles, I knew this wasn't going to be like any Bond film I'd seen before.
The movie opens with a double bluff assasination, another assasination retrospective, setting the scene for the ascension of James Bond to "double O" status, which an agent must have had two kills to reach.
At this point I was wondering what all the Daniel Craig hullabaloo was about - I don't see what hair and eye colour have to do with playing JB? I certainly thought he was convincing enough in a cartoonesque character that vascillated between uber cold and shallow and beginning to thaw and have feelings.
Some of you will know that I have a head injury, and along with that comes vertigo, so I can no longer watch any hand-held or generally shaky camera work and either process the information, or perhaps remain non-nauseous. In this instance, for most of the cobra vs mongoose to contruction site to embassy chase scene, I was unable to take in much of what was going on. My recall of it however is that it made me laugh, alot, and I was unsure as to whether the humour was intentional or otherwise? I'm guessing intentional, the entire chase scene was super human, and particulary within the building site, Nintendo-esque. We just needed a few barrel jumps and the video game analogy would have been complete.
I won't waste time on the plot, suffice to say, intrigue, action, double crosses and double double crosses, violence, alcohol, snootiness and wordplay abound.
I did fall in love with the Aston Martin DBS though, I'd seen it on Top Gear, my only "must see" show of the week (Good health to Hamster!),
but fell in love all over again during this movie.
In short, this is one for the fans of Bond or the action genre, the nearly 2 hour running time breezed by, so it held my spotty attention despite vertigo.
6.5/10
