Casino Royale :(Not the Story) Review
Movie: Casino Royale
Language: English.
Duration: 120 minutes
Rating: 3.8/5
Pros: Eye-catching stunts, No unwanted dialogues or Trash talk
Cons: Unable to understand the plot/story for the first 45 minutes.
Tidbits:
God, Opening scene of the movie is simply mindblowing!!
This Bond movie, is a peculiar one.
The Antagonist doesn’t want to destroy the world as we saw in previous Bond-ventures. He simply wants to make a Hell lot of hard cash.
Daniel craig is well built, delivers the classic, cheeky one-liners well (naturally as a bond should) and performs the stunts AMAZINGLY well.
One thing I did not like was, this guy RUNS!(amazingly fast too) Actually, I was wondering whether Bond suddenly turned into a Cop! come on, A spy should not be running while chasing terrorists! He should be going in Hi-speed cars, nab the crookies in style! yup, thats what is the missing element. Craig still hasn’t got the style and aura exuded by Pierce brosnan. The kid’s gotta learn more..
There is less sensuality(:D *ahem*), less usage of Gadgets and gizmos, more physical, bloody action fights and nice DTS effects, especially if you are sitting in the middle seats of Satyam theatre. Pretty enjoyable experience, but in a slightly diminshed magnitude for Bond fans. (myself too)
You can watch this movie twice and not more than that.

2 commentsRapidLeech! A cool script!
Well, Marc posted a Rapidshare solution on his blog, Here. I just gave a try.
First up, I tried on 9999mb.com, xlphp.net, 1500mb.com. All of the 3 accepted PHP files, but returned the same error ERROR OPENING SOCKET[rapidshare.com:80] I got frustrated.
Then I went into their forums, saw the guy who wrote the script, was using DajooB for a server. I went there, and guess what, they had no file size restrictions and limitations! I regged an A/c Rightaway, then uploaded the script in my FTP. Oh, an Important step is to CHMOD 777 the rapidleech folder..(Default is 755) then pasted a RS.DE Code, Had to wait for 100 seconds and there ya go! The script started downloading at 645KB/s. incidentally Rapidshare’s maximum download speed is 2 MB/s. So no trouble at all!
My failed attempts:

About Jim Davis - Father of Garfield
Jim Davis was born July 28, 1945, in Marion, Ind., and was raised on a small Black Angus cow farm with his parents, James and Betty Davis, and his younger brother, Dave (Doc). Like most farms, the barnyard had it’s share of stray cats; about 25 at one time, by Jim’s estimation.
Jim thinks he probably would have become a farmer, had it not been for his serious bouts with asthma as a child. Forced inside, away from regular farm chores, he whiled away the hours drawing pictures. His pictures were so bad he had to label them. With practice, he got better; but Jim concluded that pictures, when accompanied by words, were more fun anyway.
By junior high school, the asthma was in check, and Jim even went on to letter in high school football. Later, he attended Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, where he majored in art, business, and practical jokes.
After college, Jim spent two years working for a local advertising agency before becoming an assistant to TUMBLEWEEDS creator, Tom Ryan. Jim learned the skills and discipline necessary to become a syndicated cartoonist and began his own strip, GNORM GNAT. When he tried to sell the strip to a newspaper syndicate he was told, “It’s funny, but bugs? Who can relate to a bug?” After five years of drawing Gnorm, Jim drew a giant foot that fell out of the sky, crushing Gnorm in his last comic appearance.
Jim studied the comics pages closely and noticed there were a lot of successful strips about dogs, but none about cats! He combined his wry wit with the art skills he had honed since childhood and GARFIELD, a fat, lazy, lasagna-loving, cynical cat was born. Jim says Garfield is a composite of all the cats he remembered from his childhood, rolled into one feisty orange fur ball. Garfield was named after Jim’s grandfather, James Garfield Davis.
The strip debuted on June 19, 1978 in 41 U.S. newspapers. Several months after the launch, the Chicago Sun-Times cancelled GARFIELD. Over 1300 angry readers demanded that GARFIELD be reinstated. It was, and the rest, as they say, is history. Today, GARFIELD is read in 2570 newspapers by 263,000,000 readers around the globe. Recently, Guinness World Records‘, named GARFIELD “The Most Widely Syndicated Comic Strip in the World.”
Jim Davis has had many successes with GARFIELD including four Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Program and induction into the Licensing Hall of Fame (1998), but his most prized awards are from his peers in the National Cartoonist Society: Best Humor Strip (1981 and 1985), the Elzie Segar Award (1990), and the coveted Reuben Award (1990) for overall excellence in cartooning.
Davis is founder and president of Paws, Inc., a full-service licensing studio created to support Garfield’s global business ventures. He is married to Jill Davis and has three children, James, Ashley, and Christopher.
