“Casino Royale,” March 15, 2007 (2006), on plane to Bahrain.Good Bond workup that has no relationship to the book but is, nonetheless, worth watching. The new Bond, Daniel Craig, has enough sociopath in his role to really work, unlike the last few Bond thrillers. Much colder, he likes killing. A good watchable shoot’m-up. But…Bond playing poker instead of baccarat?. That’s just wrong and kow-tows to the fad for Texas hold’em. Still, fun to watch
