I can't remember whether I shared my take on Casino Royale, the first James Bond movie with Daniel Craig in the lead. If not, I'll just write it again -- it was a great way to re-boot the entire series and went a long way toward explaining just how Bond became Bond. Safe to say, I've been waiting for the next film in the series, Quantum of Solace, with more than a bit of anticipation:
A note to the producers: Following the release of Quantum I am available to play Felix Leiter. And I work cheap.
If you're not up for waiting until the November 7 U.S. premiere, why not pick up Devil May Care, the latest 007 novel by Sebastian Faulks. Released in honor of Bond creator Ian Fleming's 100th birthday, it's a more than worthwhile addition to the series.
