If thoust be...

I've avoided Torchwood - it seems to be billed as Dr Who for grown-ups which somehow put me off. I do agree with Andy about Daniel Craig - Layer Cake was a clever, well-made Brit gangster number; less stylised than Lock Stock, but less smug, too.

Took the family to catch Casino Royale on Sunday night - thumbs up all round. I agree with GM - this bloke is much more the Bond I used to read about as a lad. Gritty, tough yet vulnerable, this Bond bleeds. Not once did he straighten his tie in mid-punch-up or emerge from a massacre un-ruffled and ready for dinner. It's a shame that the plot (such as it is) had to doff its' cap to the Bond-lite of yesteryear; more grit please, Mr Producer. You can never have enough grit. Personally I can live without the gags, but the presence of Craig alone bodes well for the future of the franchise.
