For Queen and Country


Bond, James Bond. Yes that is right Mr Bond is back. I went and caught the flick right after work today. I am a lolly tech writer and hate paying the full price and have to go check out the movies during matinee times. Bond did not fail to impress and show all the bond features that we have come to know and love. The movie starts out with a car chase and only keeps speeding to the end. Daniel Craig followed in the footsteps of Pierce Brosnan's portrayal of the world class spy. He at no time in the movie looses his drive and focus on the end game. Judy Dench revives her role as M and does a great job. However it is hard to see the Head of MI6 traveling all around the world after a "rouge" agent; even if it is Bond.

The tech in the movie is not all that farfetched then the current toys. Just upgrades on the Cell phones, and all the cool touch screen computing systems are great. The rest of the tech in the movie you could pick up at the local mall.

What I was most impressed with in the movie was the choices of clothing for Bond. Over the last 5 or 6 movies Bond has become more and more casual in his atire, and in this movie he is back in fitted suits with windsor tied knots. I love the dressed look of Bond.

Anyways the movie is classic bond with a couple of bond girls and death for queen and country. Grab a martini and head to the theaters to catch this new flick with all the things we love.

Just if you are out at the theater hit the people arround you that choose to talk all the way threw the movie. Why the hell should I silence my cell phone when the jibber jawing about how someone wants an Aston Martin, and a Trip to Itally, etc. I forked over my money and would love to see that movie. The theaters should bring back the ushers to silence people that are talking to loud, or have movies times for talkers and eaters so that the rest of us can enjoy our movies. Maybe I am just a cinical person because they were not talking to me, but I wanted to enjoy the movie so I would have been a bad conversationist anyways. I would not even mind if I could bring in my skullcandy's and plug into the audio system to drown other inconsiderate people out.

Sorry for the rant at the end, and if you want to go see the movie LMK I will go see it again.
