Mrs Johnnymac and I went to see the new James Bond movie last night. Now THAT is a good movie. The poker scenes were a little clunky and goofy, but didn't take away from the rest of the movie and fit well into the plot, which, is to say, despite the name about a whole lot more than a poker game or a casino. In fact, the poker game is a very very small part of the movie.
All in all I would say it's probably one of the best Bond movies in that last 20 years, with a very belivable (as opposed to utterly fantastical) plot and a good actor playing the role very well. The chick is hot, too. It ain't high art, but it's worth the price of the ticket. Thumbs up.
