Quantum of Solace

Thanks to our friends at Netflix, an otherwise dull Thursday evening was salvaged with the DVD version of the latest James Bond flick: Quantum of Solace.

I'm not sure how all of ye socks feel about the whole franchise that spy novelist Ian Fleming's most famous character spawned.

Bond freaks are just that. Freaks. And, they all have very firm opinions on which actor has best portrayed the legendary 007. It makes the whole Trek debate on Kirk or Picard seem even more childish than it is.

For the record, Daniel Craig is no Roger Moore.

Anyway, even if you cannot buy into everything that goes along with the series, yours truly gives two thumbs up to the latest edition.

If nothing else, it stays true to the formula. And, if you can suspend reality for a bit, you can find yourselves on a globe-spanning whirlwind.

Not bad for a Thursday night.
