Casino Royale

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

Casino Royale is the remake of the first James Bond movie. Originally played by actor Sean Connery, Daniel Craig successfully landed the role as the new James Bond in this release. Casino Royale started off with Bond’s first mission after receiving the title of ‘Double-0′ agent. For his 2nd mission, Bond went up against Le Chiffre. A financial expert that aids freedom fighters financially by investing their money in stocks and hiring bombers to manipulate the price of stocks in the market. Eventually, Bond has to stop Le Chiffre from winning the ‘Casino Royale’, a high-stakes poker game with prize money of 120 million.

This is one of the best Bond movies. I’ve enjoyed it very much and so should you. Here’s why

1. Bond is finally potrayed as an assassin. In this release, James Bond killed 2 men with his bare hands and a few more with his gun
2. Bond bleeds. He can fight with his bare hands. Extremely determine to complete his mission.
3. Bond may be a gentleman, but he’s not whipped. Open your own car door, woman.
4. Bond’s haircut, his car, nor his gadgets are not what made him Bond.
5. “Shaken or stirred, sir?” was replied with “Do I look like I give a damn?”
6. Torture? “Haha! Now you can tell all your friends that you died scratching my balls”

Enough said, go see it.

Yay! Just bought a digital camera. Casio Exilim EX-Z110. Got it for RM699 which is a steal because the market price for this baby is RM888. Even got a 1GB sd card for free ^_^

Always always test the macro mode. During my hunt for the exilim, i found out that the Canon Powershot series sucks at taking macro pictures.

I was on medical leave for 2 weeks with conjunctivitis. Used the time off to hunt for the exilim. Clearly, a failed attempt to hide my pink eyes with the cap.
