I’m in lust with Daniel Craig. OK – Maybe not lust – it’s love – but it sure started out as lust! He came across my radar (and that of a zillion other women) with his performance in Casino Royale. He’d been in a number of other films that I’d seen (Sylvia, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Munich, Elizabeth) but somehow he just didn’t make the impression on me that he did as James Bond. Perhaps it was that scene where he was being tortured…. So anyway, now that I’ve seen a larger representation of his (::cough::) “body” of work I’ve come to realize what a talented and engaging actor he is – of course his appearance in big box office productions such as The Golden Compass might have given me a clue as well.
Since Casino Royal, my husband and I have been on a Daniel Craig pilgrimage of sorts. We started out buying movies at Amazon, and the first of these was Layer Cake. What a blast and so quintessentially English! Since joining SwapaDVD we’ve been able to branch out a bit more quickly, though there are several movies still sitting on my wish list!
