While I Was Walking...
Wednesday, April 11
During my lunch breaks at work I walk a treadmill and watch DVD's, 30 minutes at a time. In this column I review them and finish things off with my thoughts with whether or not I recommend the movie.I'm almost caught up. This selection brings me to about a week after Casino Royale came out on DVD. I was so caught up in Bond that I decided to watch a Sean Connery 007 film: Goldfinger.
Plot Outline: Investigating a gold magnate's gold smuggling, James Bond uncovers a plot to contaminate the Fort Knox gold reserve.

I picked that one because it's one of the more high profiled of the flicks. To tell the truth, I've not seen too many bond films outside of Brosnan's run. But I'm trying to fix that.
After seeing Goldfinger, at least one thing was made apparent. This movie makes up a good quarter of all three of the Austin Powers films. Mike Myers must have been watching this movie everytime he sat down and wrote a script for one of those films, cause once I watched a scene, that's the first thing I thought about.

Also, a lot of pop culture references, to which I knew where Bond references, came from this movie too. "Do you expect me to talk?" "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."
I don't know why I shyed away from these films, but I think a few more are in my future.
