The Transformers movie may not have been my cup of tea, but it's definitely not because I don't like action movies. I think there are some great ones out there, such as many of the James Bond films — especially the recent Casino Royale (which, by the way, I loved). I've also enjoyed the Bourne movies (The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and I can't wait for this summer's Bourne Read more

You know if The New Yorker is covering a burgeoning fitness movement, the fitness movement must be a bit highbrow. You also know if the movement is French, there must be some existentialist philosophy involved. Parkour is taking the sport of exercise to a whole new level. David Belle created parkour as a teenager in the mid 90's in a suburb of Paris. A restless spirit, he found regular Read more

Sony Ericsson's special silver and black versions of the K800 and K790 Cyber-shot camera phone took center screen in Casino Royale and if it means being one step closer to Bond man Daniel Craig I don't know how anyone could resist them.

Many Bond fans scoffed when Daniel Craig was cast as the first blonde Bond, but the negative press didn't keep anyone away from the theaters. Casino Royale has just become the most successful James Bond film ever. It's already made $454 million at the box office! The record was previously held by Die Another Die in 2002 which starred Pierce Brosnan and made $431 million. Looks like Daniel Read more

In the new Bond movie, Casino Royale (check out premiere pics over at PopSugar and a fantastic review at BuzzSugar), our favorite spy orders the original Bond martini. I say original because it's exactly what Ian Fleming wrote in the first Bond novel. "Three measures of Gordon’s [gin], one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet, shake it over ice then add a thin slice of lemon peel." The Read more

To be frank, I never truly got into the James Bond movies of yesteryear. To me, they were silly, predictable, and, in many ways, laughable. Sure, it's interesting to see a young, dashing Sean Connery, since I've always known him as a kindly old uncle type.
