The Sum Of All Fears
Enjoyed this film. Goes about the right pace, and the story is a decent one. Not read the novel, but suspect it's really good as there are a lot of story arcs in the film which could be expanded on a lot further.

Somehow he managed to make Castaway not as terrible as you'd imagine.

@MajorRage yeah good book. Just don’t read any of Clancy’s last few books, or the abysmal Tom Clancy’s (ie with other authors writing them) novels - execrable

Red Storm Rising is my equal fav book of all time (with Shogun)
And totally agree about the co-written efforts, just awful.

Never seen it, and couldn't make past an hour of Forest Gump.
Liked him in Sleepless in Seattle though

He was good in the da Vinci code as well
Was that the one where his haircut got best supporting actor?

Casino Royale
Been a few years since I've watched this & I barely remembered it. Is actually really enjoyable. The interplay between Craig & Dench is brilliant, & Eva Green is top quality totty. Le Chiffre is a quality bad-guy too, one with serious weaknesses, which you don't usually see in movies. Craig really is a cracking Bond. It loses a bit at the end though ... think the last 20-25 mins really could have had a better plot line.

@MajorRage the only bit i have never liked is the poker game
The bit where suddenly anyone can see his "tell" is cringy as fuck
"My god! the tell!"
And then a series of statistically improbable hands come out. fuck off. It's just so over the top for a "serious" bond
