One of the cool things about my town is that there is a movie theater in the center. Not many towns have movie theaters in Bulgaria and certainly not many towns that only have twenty five thousand people.

Over the past nine months or so I met the owner of the theater and talked to him quite a bit. He remembers me because I am the American in town and also because many times I am the only person who shows up to watch the movies. The owner is a cool guy who also owns the cinema cafe right below the movie theater. He operates the theater at a loss because he loves movies, a very expensive hobby. Several weeks ago I was talking to him about movies which had come out recently and the new James Bond film Casino Royale came up. I told him that I was a huge Bond fan and he told me he was too and that he was going to get the movie about a month after it came out in Sofia.

Well last week I went to see V is for Ventetta (a very predictable and cliched film) and he told me that next week he would be getting Bond, I could barely contain my excitement. Well this Friday Bond came and I went to see it both Friday and Saturday (today). There are lots of other blogs and web sites which talk about movies and almost all of them have better writers then me so I won't go into an in depth review. I will say this however: Casino Royale is the best Bond film I have ever seen and Daniel Craig was perfect as Bond. Everyone should go see this film.
