James Bond 22 has a title!!!:
The official title for the 22nd James Bond film is...... "Quantum of Solace"! And I have no freaking idea what it means! But according to Daniel Craig; "We could have gone for a snappier title but that's not part of the deal...It ties into the plot, it's not some random title."
The title is taken from one of the short stories by Ian Fleming published in 1960. Here's the official synopsis;
"The new film sees 007 (Daniel Craig) out for revenge on a mission that takes him to Austria, Italy and South America. Bond girl Camille, played by Ukrainian-born Olga Kurylenko, leads the secret agent to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), member of a mysterious organization and a ruthless businessman, seeking to control huge natural resources."
The new Bond takes off where Casino Royale ends, interesting stuff. Well, that's it for this week, I'll be back with more news this weekend.

Heath Ledger found dead:
Man, I was shocked, I couldn't believe it when I read the news about Heath's death last night. I've always liked him as an actor cause he didn't play by the Hollywood rules and prefered the smaller indie flicks instead of the blockbusters. His performance was impressive in Monster's Ball and Brokeback Mountain. Later this year we'll get to see Heath on the big screen for one last time in The Dark Knight.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends. Heath Ledger was 28.
