Although I am a devoted fan of Rowling's Harry Potter series and movies, my favorite movie would have to be Casino Royale. I can be a very laid-back, relaxed person at times. I prefer activities like kayaking, swimming, or running, none of which are contact exercises. Yet for some reason, this movie is one of those that I can watch over and over and still enjoy like it's my first time watching it. Last night my dad was flipping through the channels on the TV and this movie came up. The remote stopped clicking the "channel up" button as we watched this and I couldn't help but smile. I enjoy the high-speed chases, action, James's quick-wit and quiet deception, and the lavish lifestyle that 007 leads.
When I was younger, I used to play spy with random toy gadgets like light-up goggles, motion detectors, and wrist-watch walkie-talkies.I would try to uncover some non-existent top-secret information using these tools and my "detective knowledge" (of course I would always bend the story in my favor.) Maybe this is part of the reason I love this movie so much: I find their excessive intelligence exceedingly impressive. They combat their corrupted enemies with the well-thought out plots of this secret British intelligence agency. I always knew that I was no super-sleuth detective, but how can playing pretend hurt a kid?
