Year: 2006
Starring: Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Judi Dench
Genre: Action
My Rating: 8/10

I know this movie came out quite a while ago but I just got around to watching it the other day. Heh heh heh. The only reason why I wanted to watch it was because...do I have to admit it? Well, because of Daniel Craig. I saw the commercials. I heard that he was showing off his body. Haha. So I went in not expecting much out of the movie. The story was definitely blah. And afterward I was all, "That was the climax?" But anyway Craig was fine. Smoking to be exact. And he really is a very good actor. I probably was paying more attention to Craig's body than his acting skills though, or his face for that matter. His wet hair was not sexy. I am in denial that he is rather...older.

After watching Casino Royale I was rabid for more of Daniel's work. Need more Bond! It must be obvious why I liked the movie. Otherwise everything was a little off. The action at the beginning I quite liked. I would go on if you didn't stop me...hahaha.

Starring: Adrien Brody, Keira Knightly, Daniel Craig
Genre: Sci-Fi/Thriller
My Rating: 7.5/10

Maybe I knew before I watched it...maybe. Knew what? That it would suck? Well Keira would bring you to that conclusion. Her and her grating American accent. Okay it is not so much of a grating, but yes it was painful the way she forced it from her constantly pouty lips.

Well, what I was actually referring to was the fact that I, perhaps, knew that Daniel Craig was in this movie. I wasn't sure at first. "It can't be," I dramatically whispered to myself. "It just can't!" It was his eyes, that blue. But the dark greasy hair threw me off. But then his accent slipped through. I was pretty much convinced, but I needed to confirm one thing. So I checked out his butt. Yup. It was Daniel Craig. My hours of drooling and staring mindlessly during Casino Royale assisted in this vital confirmation. Haha! I need to watch the movie again. Not that Daniel had tons of air time. Kyaaaa~ Sorry, I am a little overexcited.

The Jacket is about some guy traveling through time...somehow. And then he sleeps with a seven year old. Okay not really, but the girl was seven when he first met her. And then BAM! "Let's have shex!"

The story was interesting I suppose. Reminded me of something. Oh, it almost seemed like they were trying to be on par with One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Yar...no. Who else is irritated with movie titles that start with "the." Lots of horror films like to do that. It feels, when they use "the" in the title, that they didn't try hard enough to come up with a name. "Magic Womb" would have been a better title. Haha. You have to watch the movie to know what I am talking about. Womb.

Year: 2007
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig
Genre: Action Adventure/Fantasy
My Rating: 3/10

I read the book some time ago, but when I heard there would be a movie I didn't care. The book was okay and the movie was worse. I will admit that I watched the movie for Daniel Craig...yet again. All three minutes he actually appears in the movie.

As with adaptions the movie felt rushed. As if they wanted to cram in all the content and didn't really have time to do so gracefully. They could try and make it interesting while they were at it? Suppose not.

There was some issue with anti God messages. Maybe I am dense. And I am sure many more Americans would not have noticed if the Church/Christians didn't happen to bring it up. And it isn't like people fall for this. Fall for what exactly? Argh. I don't want to go off on a tangent about the possibilities and obvious flaws and dated reasonings.

I didn't hate the show. Maybe I would watch it again. But I did watch it after not sleeping for twenty-four hours or so. Skewed perspective and all.
