Quantum Of Solace

I will admit that I was late in coming to the sexy shaken not stirred world that encompasses our favorite secret agent, Bond, James, Bond.

However, I knew once Daniel Craig (Layer Cake, 'nuff said) jumped on board that I was going to be a fan. So of course, S&SG and I had to do Quantum of Solace opening weekend.

Sunday's trip to the movie theater went much better than last time (no clumsy me spilling cheese all over people's coats!). Plus I got to see Daniel Craig (Have I mentioned yet that I LOVE his acting. Thought not.)

Anyhow, Quantum picks up where Casino Royal leaves off. Bond is trying to avenge Vespa's death, or at least make sense of her betrayal. However, the mystery organization has picked up where it left off also, and Bond becomes enveloped in the machinations of a company called Green Planet, while the British Government and M are afraid that he's gone rogue.

I found the movie to be a bit choppy, which after the smooth flow of Casino, threw me, but as S&SG pointed out, it sets the right tone for this adventure and story line. It was a great follow up.

***Also. I dig Strawberry Fields. I wish I had a wickedly awesome Bond Girl name like that!
