James Bond

I have been watching quite a few movies that are not a part of my collection, thanks to the library and co workers. We had been talking about who was the best James Bond and for me it was Daniel Craig. He just seem to be more rugged and masculine and he got kicked around a lot. Casino Royale is my favorite of his Bond movies. Last week I watched three Bond Movies starring Sean Connery. I had heard for the movies, but had only seen one, Gold Finger.

I then looked at the date of this movie and wondered who took me to see the movie? I was only 7 years old when the movie was released. I figure it had to be my brother-in-law as I remembered my nephew and I saw a lot of movies with him. So, looking back and seeing the other movies, I realize Sean Connery also had a charm and rugged side. He screwed up a few times and got beat up as well. There are three more movies in which Sean Connery starred that I will be watching in the next few days.

I am hoping the weather will hold up and I can get out to see The Avengers, Infinity Wars. I mainly want to see it for the special effects and because some of the cast from The Black Panther also appear in this movie.

Tony and I taped another episode of Films Versus Movies that should be up on the podcast soon. It's pretty much impromtu on my part as I wanted the feel to be just the way it is when we discuss films and movies when we have a break.

I have also been watching some movies of espionage that I haven't soon or it's been a while. For some reason I thought Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was an old movie. It was actually made in 2011 with a large cast. It's about Russian spies and figuring out who did what... How did the operation go wrong?

Gary Oldman stars along with Benedict Cumberbatch, Toby Jones, John Hurt, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy and Mark Strong. The movie is based on John le Carre's novel that made people see the spy thriller in a new way. If you love mysteries and spy thrillers this is definitely that. Not a lot of things blowing up, but there is intrigue just like the symbol of the chess pieces. This movie takes time and concentration to see what it going on.

I also watched The Kingsman : The Secret Service for the second time. I really like this movie, but the sequel is not as interesting. It takes a comedic turn and I really don't know the purpose of Elton John. Was he being a caricature of himself? I feel it was a waste of talent for a few people. It's a fun movie, just not as entertaining for me as the first one was.
