A-Z #37: Casino Royale

You can pick up hundreds of DVD's for a round-pound each - it doesn't matter. Its never about quantity, its about quality. A-Z is my way of going through my collection, from A-Z, and understanding why I own the films ... or you can tell me why I should sell 'em

#37 - Casino Royale

Why did I buy it?

This is where this whole A-Z thing can get a bit problematic. I am a self-confessed huge 007 fan. When we reach boxsets, I can discuss in more depth where this love came from, but suffice to say, I bought Casino Royale day-of-release having watched it at the cinema in Reading.

Why do I still own it?

Funnily enough, it is actually a film that, in due course, will be sold - but only to be upgraded by that sweet Blu-Ray version. Fact is, currently this on DVD, on the shelf. It really is an incredible film and the free-running start set the bar incredibly high frm the get-go. Ironically, once everyone jumped on the Daniel Craig bandwagon, they all seemed to turn on Brosnan who, for what its worth, was the James Bond of the ninties - in the mould of action films such as Die Hard  and Speed. Daniel Craig is gritty and built in the mould of The Bourne Supremacy - which is not a bad thing.

A flawless film that deserves its place in everyone's collection. Unlike the follow-up Quantum of Solace ...

Maybe you disagree ... maybe I should get rid of it permanaently?

Simon and Jo: Revealing More

So, over the weekend - as stated previously - we shot a few viral videos on a range of subjects and now I have been able to put them in a side bar at the side. Nevertheless, the latest videos are embedded here. Hopefully it should garner 'The Simon and Jo Film Show' some attention and gain a few more listeners from across the globe. So, make sure you tell your friends about it! And then review it on itunes! And then write a letter to NBC, BBC and ABC telling them that they need to hire us. Full time. $100k per annum. For both of us. Easy.

I hope you enjoy this treat!





I even managed to place the MP4 onto the 'Movies' section of my ipod too and then watch them there aswell. Maybe the more mobile folks out there would rather do that ... who knows.
