Casino Royale
R
144 Minutes
Mon. - Fri.: 1pm, 6pm
Sat. Sun: 1pm
Casino Royale introduces James Bond (Daniel Craig) before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00" status. "M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly-promoted 007 on his first mission that takes him to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face Le Chiffre, a ruthless financier under threat from his terrorist clientele, who is attempting to restore his funds in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. "M" places Bond under the watchful eye of the Treasury official Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together. Le Chiffre's cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in a way Bond could never imagine, and he learns his most important lesson: Trust no one.
Quantum of Solace
R
106 Minutes
Mon. - Fri.: 11am, 4pm, 9pm
Sat. - Sun.: 4pm, 6pm
Taking place a few hours after the events of Casino Royale, Bond and M interrogate Mr. White who reveals the organization which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined. On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that international businessman Dominic Greene is conspiring to take total control of one of the world's most important natural resources. Using his associates in the organization, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the exiled General Medrano control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land. As Bond gets closer to finding the truth, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, terrorists, and even M, to unravel Greene's sinister plan and stop his organization, Quantum.
