BBC NEWS Flash : Penguins beat Bond at US cinemas

Hey App, I told you this Happy Feet movie thing looked cool. Apparently I wasn't the only one since the movie beat the much hyped Bond movie at the box office this weekend!

Read Penguins beat Bond at US cinemas.

So, we got to see the #2 movie of last weekend - "Casino Royale" and we have to say, we agree with the reviews. It was a refreshing Bond movie. This one was about Bond in the beginning, when he becomes 007. In the key of other such origin movies ("Batman Begins"), this one is also successful. The Bond girls were so-so, and much of the attention was on Mr. Daniel Craig. He fits the role well for this movie. It will be interesting to see him in the next Bond movie though. Let's talk about it here in 2008, then.

Footnote for Ranjit (who didn't buy Daniel's british accent in this movie): Arjun tells me that Mr. Craig is Australian.

Footnote for Arjun (who will have to wait a few more weeks to see the movie): The movie had a simultaneous release in India, even having been dubbed in Tamil for the local movie halls of TN. :) Oz needs to catch up.
