I should be half as "together" at 85, as you describe her. I have followed her writings from 81 onwards. She was awarded the Nobel prize at a time when the global anti apartheid fight was just begining to be in full bloom. On the global stage, what a terrific symbol and powerful voice she was for protesting against and correcting the wrongs in South Africa. <BR/><BR/>On the whole I find her intensity as a political activist and HIV advocate more intriguiging then her literary works.

Not as good as franchise reboot Casino Royale, but still an impressive entry to the Bond canon."- http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/quantum_of_solace/<BR/>________________________________________________________<BR/><BR/><B><I>Bond, James Bond!</I></B><BR/><BR/>And Bond with the best. (apparently the opening scene took 10 Aston Martins to complete the whole sequel; I was devasted at the end of that to see what happens to his car! It was shattered with his side of the door blown away!!)<BR/><BR/>Well-<BR/><B>It is NOT as good as Casino Royale. Period.</B><BR/><BR/>Having seen it the second time, I could point out a few flaws in the movie- though there are just a few and not any more any less that I would like to emphasis further in this little novice attempt of mine to write a "movie review". <BR/>End could have been much different and much better though.<BR/>Except for the ending, you would be engrossed to each and every frame of the movie. <BR/><BR/>Many have argued that Daniel Craig was not the best fit for Bond movies after Casino Royale came out- he didn't have that slick appeal like Pierce Brosnan, his predecessor. He was much buffed and he was overtly muscular (especially his shoulders). But I think for this movie, he has reduced some of his buffness! He looks cool.<BR/>Well that apart-<BR/>The plot is not difficult to understand but a bit difficult to predict.<BR/>Actress Olga Kurylenko looks raw and looks Brown!- she is hot!- her accent is unbearable like Kangana Ranaut though.<BR/>But she has acted quite well and has done justice to her role. The scariest thing on her body though was some burnt scar behind her back. That looks ugly but that also has some significance and something to do with her personal vendetta that she wants to carry out against the Bolivian military dictator(something like Musharraf) - one of the villains of the movie. That dude wants to rule Bolivia and he can do anything to get that job. He is corrupt and he is a womanizer!<BR/>There's one scene where Bond wants to catch hold of the assassin who attempted to kill M (formerly Money Penny). He jumps off along the roof of a house and falls down crashing at the adjacent house's balcony. The fall seems as though it was exactly copied from a Bourne movie (don't know though which one but Matt Demon has done that exactly already in one of his own action series).<BR/><BR/>Exotic locations make up for the loss of this movie- Italian Alps, beaches of Italy, some traditional horse racing of Italy, deserts of Chile and as such are simply eye-candy to watch.<BR/>Lot of Sony products visible throughout the movie- that seems as if Sony was actually advertising and promoting their upcoming products. Same thing was prevalent in Casino Royale, but on a much lighter scale.<BR/>Opening credits are a big let down I think.<BR/><BR/>I am actually bored now!<BR/><BR/>I will give this movie 2.5/5. <BR/>I know people who haven't watched it can't wait... So I am saying that don't go with too much of expectations also (<B><I>like how De must have done</I></B>)- you will come out frowned and dissatisfied. Go with open mind and you will like it.Double Sevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00143198059518826575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-31639867974401754232008-11-11T02:02:00.000+05:302008-11-11T02:02:00.000+05:30De you are right there was no sex, not much superf...De you are right there was no sex, not much superficial gadgets involved in this movie- but that was actually the plot of the movie- that he was quite depressed and sad that his girlfriend of Casino Royale died in the last scene of Casino Royale. So basically he was trying to take vengeance against it- it was not actually anything personal but on the orders of M. I think the movie was not that bad also. <BR/><BR/>Please refer to my feedback below.Double Sevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00143198059518826575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-55507211734561641082008-11-11T01:23:00.000+05:302008-11-11T01:23:00.000+05:30oh my...i am a die-hard fan.i heard though .. many...oh my...i am a die-hard fan.<BR/>i heard though .. many of those things that people use to associate with Bond movies are gone. Some for no obvious purpose or reason.It wasn't enough for them to take away Moneypenny, Q, the gadgets, the humor and witticism, his "shaken, not stirred", the line "my name is Bond, James Bond." They even ditched the famous opening gunbarrel-sequence, and you won't hear the James Bond theme right until the very end.<BR/><BR/>Even after reading the review by you i am going to watch the movie..i know it will disappoint me but still i will watch just for the Bond's sake.rainboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884782002088989668noreply@blogger.com
