Have you already seen the new Bond movie? It's definitely worth seeing, not just because of an altogether new Bond (more about that here), who is even better than Sean Connery. No, the actual reason for writing about it on this blog is that Switzerland features fairly prominently, much more so in fact than Bond's own home country does. Maybe that's because Bond is actually half Swiss?
But back to the movie: Some of the bits involving great alpine scenery are probably shot in southern Switzerland, and there's Mr Mendel, a somewhat featherbrained Swiss banker with his suitcased account remote control. But I shouldn't forget Mr Mendel's employer, Basle Bank! I say, may home town makes the new Bond! Too bad there is no such bank.

the new bond is really cool, one think daniel craig lacks is probably the charm, that Sean Connery possessed. I still think Sean Connery is the best bond. Although I liked the action sequences very much.
I had some reservations on the new Bond guy (Daniel Craig) at first because I've grown fond of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. Craig doesn't appear charming as the past James Bond guys. Instead he has a rugged and tough look. I've always thought of Bond as a handsome, dark haired man. Craig doesn't quite fit the part but my husband insisted we watch it at the cinema. I really enjoyed the movie. It didn't focus much on the hi-tech gadgets but the stunt scenes were spectacular.
