Faces of 007s

Was driving towards the cineplex when my hubby received a call. Before you know it, we made a detour to collect some documents from a colleague of his. In the midst of peak hour traffic, I was grumbling to him that we can't make it to the show on time ....afterall it is James Bond!

Honestly, I'm not a crazy fan of James but since there've been re-runs of his movies everyday - from Sean Connery, to George Lazenby, to Roger Moore, to Timothy Dalton, to Pierce Brosnan and now Daniel Craig.

It's a whole month of Bond Galore on Astro with all the Bond girls parading their booties and boobsies on screen, it's no wonder men and women the same are queuing up for the lastest Bond flick "Casino Royale".

James Bond's character has been played by 6 actors and they each gave the character a unique personality, adding spice and originality, and James continues to be ageless, charismatic, sophisticated, unstoppable, witty and in a class of his own.


1. Personally I think the best Bond goes to Sean Connery who potrayed the character superbly with class. Sean made Bond seem absolutely irresistible, charming and mysterious at the same time. With every Bond episode, although he may have aged a little, one couldn't agree with me more when I say he's even more attractive as he ages!! (right ladies?!!!)

He's starred in 6 films: Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You only Live Twice (1967) and Diamonds are Forever (1971) and unofficially in Never Say Never Again (1983).



isn't he "delicious" to watch?

2. Next was George Lazenby and we know why he only starred as Bond ONCE!! This Australian lad had no previous acting experience before acting as Bond and I find him just to be a mediocre Bond in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"(1969).

Should trust me when I say "tak steam" langsung!!!!

Watch it and believe it!

3. He was followed by Roger Moore. You'd always picture him as The Saint but never James Bond!!!(at least I would anyway) Although I must say, even though he didn't potray Bond as a character with class and spohistication, Moore did bring about the witty and humourous side of Bond and movie-goers would agree that he was funny as Bond! Needless to say Moore just wasn't as tough as Sean Connery's Bond.

He starred in 7 Films: In Live and Let Die (1973), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Moonraker (1979), For Your Eyes Only (1981), Octopussy (1983) and A View to Kill (1985).

He was the un-secret- secret agent, everywhere he goes everyone knows his name!

4. Timothy Dalton was a more controversial Bond. He introduced the "dark", serious and hard-edged type of Bond, which most audiences do not like. This Bond had less time for ladies (weird)!! He was unlike the smooth, suave character Sean and Roger potrayed. Although he was the closest thing to Ian Fleming's Bond in the book!

Timothy only starred in 2 films: In the Living Daylights (1987) and Licence to Kill (1989).

"Fleming's Bond"

5. After 6 years without any Bond films, Pierce Brosnan made an explosive performance in Goldeneye. Pierce Brosnan played a similar Bond like Sean did - smooth, has a way with the ladies, has witty comments for every occassion and showed also the "darker" side of Bond - proving that he's not invincible.

Pierce, who was the closest next best Bond, unfortunately only starred in 4 films: Goldeneye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World is Not Enough (1999) and Die Another Day (2002).



2nd Best Bond - Not too tall, Not too built, yet still Irresistible!

6.

The latest James Bond - Daniel Craig. Many people were surprised by the choice of the next Bond. He got the role from the likes of Hugh Jackman, Clive Owen and Joseph Fiennes. Many critics have doubted his ability to play Bond but indeed in this year's latest Blockbuster "Casino Royale", Daniel has proved to audiences worldwide that he is capable of potraying James Bond including his charm, wit, sophistication, toughness and humour. Indeed we saw also the softer side of Bond....which I must say is not typically Bond.

So Daniel surprised me with his acting and his stunts. I must say he's the "Destructor Bond". I've never seen a Bond so destructive.

All throughout the movie he's destroying a truck, a car, a building and even Venice!! I supposed that complements the softer and lovable side of him.

Craig's the Hot Bond with the Hot Bod! **yummy**

I do not want to delve too much into Casino Royale for the benefit of those who haven't seen the film. Do head down to the movies...It is rather mesmerising and the humour is uncalled for.

Enjoy the movie................folks!
