thought id start a thread on movies , i watch alot of them and wonder what other people think. recently i saw a movie that i thought was awesome ,not just because it was a true story but i think because i remember turning on the tv and watched a documentary right after it happend.



i watched INTO THE WILD ,in this movie a very well to do,intelligent young kid who just graduted college with all As decides to completely drop out of society,cuts up his ss card ,license etc.. and walks the earth. i have to say ,coming from a guy who traveled the us by car 3 times surfing snow boarding and rock climbing,it really makes me think of another side of life altogether,just wondering if any one has seen it and your opinions on the movie. this was sean penns second film as director and as the last,i thought this film to be outstanding!

i found it to be rushed. here we have a game that sold ,what , a billion copies and hollywood rushes the movie.i think they shouldve spent a bit more on him as an asassin. i totally agree.



my movie of the day is of a series ive watched since i dont even know when .before i say the name im going to say this ,these movies have grown tired and all along i was wondering when they would actually be true to the novels . im talking about James Bond and the recent Casino royal . now ive read a few of the novels and seen every movie many times and these are my thoughts..... the novels portray bond being a total dick ,drunk and user ,he uses every bad trait there is ,including being a killer and doesnt trust anyone -BUT ITS BECAUSE OF ONE REASON .if you watch the first connery film ,for that era ,he kinda portrays this but through the roles i think the sweetend him up a bit,he then quit. all in all it wasnt the true bond,maybe actor wise but not script wise .then you get roger moore -same thing but 70s -80s style then bond all together gets ho hum and here we are today(lets not even say pierce).the last few movies bored me,uhg,and as a true fan for the first time i didnt rush to go see the next bond film "casino royal" because i thought it would be like the last flops .



so im bored ,i watch it. not only in my opinion is this the best actor to play james bond to date ,it was the best james bond movie as well.this movie followed the very first novel to a tee ,although altered quite a bit,but they got the same point across.im thinking with the great success of Jason bourne ,the creator of the bond movies knew it was a time for a complete make over. although bond is dressed in a tux when he gets into a fight ,its a brutal one and hes bloody and beat up after ,shaking and drinkng scotch afterwards.laying in bed with a women he leaves her to follow the mission,totally different than the bond of the past. they left it open for the next and its being shot as we speak. i can say i was extremely impressed with this one,they restarted and recreated bond,expect to see a more novel ,007 in the future! my highest recomendations,this is the true Bond!
