The Biggest Bluff – On and off the field…

2007-01-16T12:21:00.000Z

If you thought that the best actors in the world are restricted to Hollywood and Bollywood, then think again. They actually reside on the other side of the fence, where the grass is really greener.

It doesn’t happen often that the opening credits of a movie grab my attention. I’m usually still stumbling around in the dark theatre guided only by my mobile phone light over the manmade obstacle course consisting of people's legs, popcorn, softdrinks and the occasional lost toddler.Casino Royale turned out to be the exception to the rule. I got to my seat early and by the time the opening

HiI was meant to do this post last week but things got the best of me, like Bush signing that stupid piece of legislation that is so unrelated to online gambling for instance.
