Frieda Pinto the next Bond girl????

Theres' a buzz that Frieda Pinto may be the next Bond girl. She might be able to bring an exotic touch like Barbara Bach and more life than Olga. Olga while beautiful seemed devoid of emotion. Apparently Jennifer Aniston is another contender for the role. But between the two of them, I think Frieda would be a much better choice.

Frieda has already been signed by Woody Allen for his next movie alongside Naomi Watts and Anthony Hopkins. The fact that Danny Boyle may be the director for the next Bond movie will also help her cause. Plus she has already wooed people all over the world with her red carpet appearances. She is already on the best dressed lists of many. Her future seems bright and sparkly.

Lets' see whether she will be able to pull it off....

Movie Review: Quantum Of Solace

I went to see Dostana but ended up viewing Quantum of Solace. This is its'second week and so the Balcony was only 1/3rd full. But I must say I was a tad bit disappointed from the start. It seems to have departed from the essence of Bond.
A Bond movie starts right from the title track. This song cannot be compared to Goldeneye, Diamonds Are Forever or Nobody Does It Better. Even though I saw the movie only yesterday I cannot remember anything of the song except that it was performed by Alicia Keys and it was a lot of screaming. The visuals along with the song is another thing you look forward too. I still remember the visuals of Casino Royale. It was so impressive!!! Eventhough the girls were missing. The cards not only went with the "casino "theme very well. Casino Royale had a new feel about it. It was more macho. Still very Bond. Well suffice to say the visuals were not what you expected. Bond villains are different from usual villains. They are sauve, sophisticated and have something classy about them. So the villain was also a let down. Again comparisons come to mind. Mads Mikkelson as Le Chiffre and Michael Lonsdale as Sir Hugo Drax.
Bond 22 was a good action flick. I have nothing against Daniel Craig as Bond. Still if you see Quantum of Solace as a good action movie, then you won't be disappointed!!!
