Bond Girls are Forever
Just got the recently released Casino Royale on DVD and I enjoy the edginess of Daniel Craig’s performance as well as the well put together story. The action is fast paced and as is typical of Bond movies the action begins before the opening credits roll. As part of the DVD extras there is a feature titled Bond Girls are Forever hosted by Maryam d’Abo. The show has Maryam crisscross the globe to interview some of the Bond Girls from the beginning with Ursula Andress to current Bond girl Eva Green. It is interesting to see how the Bond Girls have evolved from damsel in distress to “Kick Ass” ladies who are both a mental and in some cases a physical challenge for James Bond. The current Bond girl Eva Green is a successful, intelligent career woman who mentally spars with James Bond before falling to his charms. Throughout the evolution one thing has remained constant James Bond will get the girl no matter how “Kick Ass” she turns out.
