A High Octane November

Car crashes. Explosions. Weaponry. Extreme gadgets. Girls, Girls, Girls. And, oh yeah. That classic theme song. There can only be one franchise that I'm referring to, and if you guessed James Bond, you are nothing but correct. This November's movie season will be revolutionized on Friday when Quantum Of Solace, The 22nd installment of Bond comes out. As we prepare for Friday, here are some reasons why I am excited for James Bond.

1) Daniel Craig
Okay...you got me. At first when I had heard 2 years ago that my beloved Pierce Brosnan was being replaced by a blondie who I had never heard of, Daniel Craig. Yet, I wouldn't give up on my beloved James. When I arrived at Casino Royale, my expectations were blown away. So much so that when I walked out of the theater, I had to ask myself "Pierce who?" Daniel Craig brings a rogue sense of badass to our hero, and makes him a cold yet humorous person whom we admire and want to be like. The anticipation of his return drives me crazy!

2) The Trailer
What more could you ask for? The trailer makes me drool a bit (okay maybe an exaggeration) but all I want after watching it, is MORE. More Bond, more action, more witty dialogue. And that's what the filmmakers want. They know that by giving me this wonderful trailer that I'll buy a ticket. Here it is for those who haven't yet experienced it. (Yes, its an event.)



All I need is two reasons. This Bond film is set to impress me, no doubts about it.

I guess you'll know where to find me this weekend.


By the way, in a completely different area from my last post, the official teaser trailer for The Pink Panther 2 has been released. Please be aware. If you see any people watching it, contact the proper authorities.
