Easter viewing

This Easter my family and I watched the James Bond films Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Daniel Craig really pulls off Bond so well, I thought both films were even better than I remembered. The thing about Bond is that he likes to do things in style, he knows what he likes and is determined to get it. That goes for women as well as bad guys but he is a gentleman too.
We also watched the first Pierce Brosnan Bond film Goldeneye. It was a good film, after the film I looked up who played Xenia Onatop (who kills men by squeezing the air out of their chests with her thighs) and I was very surprised to find it was Famke Janssen who played Dr Jean Gray in the X-Men films. It was good entertainment, as was Iron Man. we watched Iron Man this afternoon, my son thought it was an awesome film. We had a large meal on Easter Sunday lunch, of roast chicken and Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and lots of other stuff. It was all good, also we had sponge pudding and custard for dessert: good times.

I am not very action film-y, and was surprised at how much I enjoyed Iron Man. Iron Man 2...not so much.

That photo of Daniel Craig....(sigh).. :)

Looks like you and the family had a wonderful Easter! The meal sounds delicious and I'm always a fan of movie marathons. I loved Famke Jansen's character in "Goldeneye". She was one vicious character.

My favorite Bond movie with Craig is still "Casino Royale", but "Skyfall" was pretty good too.

LB: I don't think Iron Man 2 is a great film, it took a long time to get where it was going. It wasn't all bad though, there were some good things about it: like Scarlet Johansen playing Black Widow.

Tara: Of Craig's 3, I like Sky fall best and Casino Royals a close second.
