First it was Kate Beckinsale; then it was Gemma Arterton. Well, Daniel Craig can finally relax! The leading lady for Craig’s second effort as the debonair secret agent James Bond has been announced at last. Ukrainian model-turned-actress Olga Kurylenko will succeed Eva Green as the next Bond girl in the series’ upcoming installment (tentatively titled Bond 22). 

Olga has just recently made her way into English-language films, but many of you might recognize her as the chick (aka Nika Boronina) from last year’s Hitman. Not much else is known to the American public about Olga.

But the press release regarding Olga’s involvement in the project leaks more details than necessary. Apparently, her character’s name is Camille, she will challenge Bond, help him overcome Vesper Lynd’s (Eva Green’s character in Casino Royale) betrayal and she adores Nestle Crunch bars. That last part, I made it up, but my point is that the press release was a little too revealing for my taste. 

Perhaps the spokespeople for the film should stick to the basics and let the emotional development between the characters be a, what do they call it? Ah, yes, surprise. Don’t make us choose between reading something for free and paying ten bucks to see the actual movie. It won’t be good for your wallets.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
