Daniel Craig confirmed that he will return to play James Bond in an upcoming film. At Guru Jay, we recognize the best. Which brings me to my question: Who is the best James Bond? Is Daniel Craig the best to ever play James Bond? I want to know your thoughts. Here are mine.

First of all, I don’t believe Daniel Craig is the best. I thought the producers were trying to find a new James Bond. Didn’t you think the same thing? What happened? Daniel Craig doesn’t compare to Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan. I’m sorry. Now his movies are great but his acting is only good when compared to the legends. I don’t think I’m being harsh. Maybe, I am but you want my honest opinion I’ll give it to you.

Daniel Craig doesn’t have charisma like Connery and Brosnan. There is a reason our grandmas love Sean Connery to a fault. And our mothers couldn’t get enough of Brosnan back in the day. I don’t want to knock Daniel Craig too much, but it’s time for a new James Bond.

I believe the greatest actor to play James Bond is Sean Connery. However, I believe the best James Bond is Pierce Brosnan. Sean Connery is one of the greatest actors of all time, but he’s not the essence of James Bond. Pierce Brosnan is the essence of James Bond. When James Bond comes to mind, I think of Piece Brosnan first.

What are your favorite James Bond movies? My favorite James Bond movie is Die Another Day. I enjoyed the Halle Berry iconic bikini beach scene. After you read this blog, I recommend you check out this interesting Wikipedia Page. You’ll discover there has been a total of 13 James Bonds.

To conclude, the second best James Bond is Sean Connery. Daniel Craig is probably in the top five but Pierce Bronsan is the best James Bond unequivocally. Let’s start the discussion.

What Is Game of Thrones Without Emilia Clarke?

I blogged about Emilia Clarke’s portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen as a major reason people watch Game of Thrones in a recent blogpost entitled Why Game of Thrones Is the Number 1 TV Show. I still stand by that assertion. Without Emilia Clarke, Game of Thrones would not be the same though. What Chris Martin is to Coldplay and what Kaley Cuoco is to the Big Bang Theory, Emilia Clarke is to Game of Thrones.

Her character and the actress herself has evolved through the years. This blogpost hopes to highlight or at least shine a light on some of her excellence. In my eyes, Emilia Clarke is the English version of Scarlett Johansson. You can’t deny that her beauty is a factor for fans tuning in every Sunday on HBO. Moreover, you can’t deny that her talent is another factor fans are glueing their eyeballs to their 4K Ultra and HD screens. The equation is simple. Beauty + Talent = Movie Star.

The Hollywood actress turned 30 years old on October 23rd. She started filming Game of Thrones in her mid-twenties. I believe she has became more beautiful and more talented within that time frame. Moreover, she has a good sense of humor and is a pleasant personality, which is rare. I recommend watching a few interviews and getting to know her when you get the chance. I’m providing a brief clip at the end of this post for your enjoyment.

What is Game of Thrones without Emilia Clarke? Her character’s long golden flowing locks are signature to the series. Plus, I can see the show staying in production for another 5 years. You see Game of Thrones is based on a book by George R.R. Martin. Emilia Clarke is appealing to book lovers, especially fantasy genre aficionados in the realm of television. Fans on both sides are pleased with her characterization. Chime in your comments. You’re welcome at GuruJay.com.

Watching Idris Elba

I desire to watch better TV. Many people waste time surfing channels and watching garbage because bad TV is easy to find. On the flip side, there are some great shows out there just waiting to be found. Can you recommend me some shows to watch?

Lately, I’ve been watching Luther starring Idris Elba. If you’ve never seen Luthergo check it out. Detective Chief Inspector John Luther (Elba) doesn’t fiddle his fingers when investigating crimes.

There is no separation between Idris Elba and the lead character. I believe Idris is one of the best method actors because he’s focused on creating superior quality.

It’s interesting seeing Elba as Luther because England is a trip.

Let me warn you that digesting Lutherepisodes require a strong stomach. The DCI deals with all sorts of sociopaths and demons. Some weird shit goes down, so be prepared.

Of course, the acting is top notch. I also enjoy the writing and artistic direction. Jessica Jones reminds me of this in a way. However, Luther is more realistic.

I’ve been a fan of Elba for 11 years. Do you remember The Gospel and Daddy’s Little Girls? He gave Gabrielle Union the butterflies. I’m not saying the feeling wasn’t mutual because the Being Mary Jane actress is a bombshell. That’s my perspective on things.

And who could forget Elba’s scenes in American Gangster starring Denzel Washington? All of Elba’s characters seem believable and distinguishable. He embodies the meaning of acting…to become someone else. Check out my Beast of No Nation Movie Review.

Idris Elba’s film and TV credits speak volumes. Does Elba dominate the silver screen or what? That’s why every actress and female reporter/correspondent looks forward to greeting Idris on the red carpet. He has sex appeal like Johnny Deppand Leonardo DiCaprio.

Who’s watching Idris Elba?
