Movie of the Week 007

For this week's movie, I have selected Casino Royale, the newest installment in the James Bond franchise. The story takes place at the beginning of Bond's career as a 007 agent and shows a much darker side than we have seen before. With Daniel Craig stepping into the role for the first time, many people weren't sure what to expect ahead of it's release. But to the chagrin of many critic's he delivered above and beyond any expectations. My biggest gripe with this film was that it takes place in the post 9-11 era despite being a prequel to all the other films. Overall I felt refreshed by the changes made to the series. I look forward to what will come next now that Daniel Craig has redefined the franchise.
