Yesterday afternoon I met up with a friend for a quick dessert date at Susina Bakery in LA before meeting up with Steph and Alek for dinner at Pink Taco (yes, dessert came before dinner but if you had seen the apple crumble placed before me, you’d understand). From there we met up with Jordan, Darion and his friend Peter at the ArcLight Theater to see (at last) the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace:
While I was a bit worried by some of the bad press I’ve been reading about Solace, I was pretty confident that I’d still like the movie myself. Thankfully I dismissed the negative reviews and went out to see the film because it was a pretty kick-ass Bond movie. Right off the bat, the action gets underway and over the course of the film the audience is treated to action scenes that take place by land (both car and on foot), by sea and by air. I fully stand by my contention that Daniel Craig is the best James Bond ever. He just becomes the role so fully. Sean Connery may have been the best 007 back in the day but now, Daniel Craig totally owns the role. I really liked Casino Royale and I think I liked this movie better. The pacing moved along perfectly and the story, which bordered on being too complicated, held together nicely to round out the film. I like the idea of a new, unheard of shadowy organization that will, most likely, plague Bond in future films. I really hope that Daniel Craig will continue to play James Bond for years to come … he is just so great in the role, I’d love to see more. He’s deffo made me a fan of the franchise (a feat I never thought would be accomplished after Pierce Brosnan took on the role). This film rocked, I think action movie fans will really enjoy it.
No big plans for today … a meeting in town, dinner, the usual. I hear that rain is coming to SoCal — sadly apropos for this time of the year.
