Casino Royale (2006)

Possibly my best Bond!

[5 December 2006]

Daniel Craig is simply phenomenal in this movie. I did not catch him "acting" in one moment. He just seemed made for this grittier, rougher Bond! The high-action scenes were excellent! I love this new vision for James Bond movies, less gadgets and disappearing cars etc .. and more raw action! Back to the basics..!! It is a shame that so many people went out of their way to criticise Daniel Craig before the movie even came out! Give the man a chance, go check out the movie. Even if he is not your ideal "bond" candidate, there is no denying that he gave a fabulous performance in this film.

He is possibly my next fave Bond after Sean Connery! Can't wait for the next one!!

Poldark (1975–1977)

One of the best drama series

[26 October 2005]

I think that this drama series is so amazing, so captivating, with great acting and performance, from Captain Ross Poldark & Demelza to Jed Paynter.

I was so hooked watching the first part, that I had to rush to the closest library and get Poldark 2.

I am currently watching part5 and can't help wishing there was a Poldark 3...If the BBC ever makes one, I'll be the first to watch it!

And I agree with an earlier comment that the BBC always manages to put out fantastic drama and great screen adaptations to great novels.

Thanks to the BBC for giving us something so amazing to watch!!

A Dorothy L. Sayers Mystery: Have His Carcase: Episode One (1987) Season 1, Episode 4

Fantastic!

[14 September 2005]

I love all 3 Dorothy SAyer's mysteries with Harriet Walter and Edward Petherbridge. They have amazing chemistry and I couldn't get enough of these two!

I have all 3 films(Strong poison, have his carcase, and Gaudy night) on tape, and I am well into wearing them out due to over-watching!

All the characters are very well cast and the performances are very believable indeed.

I am an avid who-done-it fan and this series is right up there in my list.

Go watch it if you haven't yet!
