Neat cameo in CR-anybody notice?

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2006)

Okay, bond fanatics ( or even casual fans), anybody notice one of the Casino Royale card players is Tsai Chin, who, almost 40 years ago, lolled in bed with Sean Connery during the "You Only Live Twice " pre-credits sequence...just before she pushes the "up" button on the lethal murphy bed, arranging 007's fake death. ("Darling", she coos,"I'll give you very best....duck") About the movie....Craig is Connery's equal in sheer toughness...he just needs more of a sense of humor...(not that they have to go back to the lame quips, but a little more wit would help...otherwise, Bond is no different from Rambo or all the faceless lunks played by Steven Seagal. Lumpy screen writing, which is why the movie seems to re-start into a whole other movie after the torture scene...but I can't wait to see where Craig takes the character in the next one....
