The re-imagining of Mi6 super spy James Bond continues with Quantum of Solace, a direct sequel to Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig, as if you didn’t already know.  A few mixed reviews are already coming in on the movie, with the biggest complaint that this Bond is too gritty and violent for what most would consider “Classic” Bond, but that’s not going to stop me or anyone else from sitting down at their favorite theater, grabbing a handful of popcorn, and enjoying a cool action flick.  I mean, isn’t THAT the type of action we crave for these days?  Forget the haters and go catch the movie.

If you’re looking for anything Bond to spruce up your handset…check out all of the cool stuff PlayPhone has to offer… just look at what a quick James Bond search turned out:

Ringtones from The Man with the Golden Gun, The Spy who Loved Me, Octopussy, From Russia with Love and a bunch of others.

Wallpapers from some of the most famous Bond Girls, Villains and the many Bonds themselves.

And of course, Games including Casino Royale.

One fun item of note, Time.com recently posted the best and worst Bond songs of all time…check them out and let us know if you agree though I already see a glaring omission… the A View to a Kill theme from Duran Duran as one of the best.

THE WORST

All Time High, Rita Coolidge
From the dreadful Octopussy, this love ballad presses all the wrong buttons. A perfect encapsulation of all the was wrong with the late Roger Moore era.

You Know My Name, Chris Cornell
You Know My Name? Most people can’t even name the movie. This dull as dust rock tune from Casino Royale barely registered.

Thunderball, Tom Jones
Read the title, read the name of the person singing it — then multiply your worst case scenario x10.

Tomorrow Never Dies, Sheryl Crow
Crow beat out more than a dozen other submitted songs with her overly-orchestrated ballad. k.d. Lang’s performance of Surrender, which played over the end credits, was far superior.

Another Way to Die, Jack White and Alicia Keys
One problem is that White and Keys have no audible chemistry. Another is that their song has no chorus. But mostly it’s that lo-fi guitar fuzz suits Bond about as well as a rented tux. (Read Richard Corliss’ Quantum of Solace Review)
THE BEST

Nobody Does it Better, Carly Simon
Carole Bayer Sager’s words are legitimately sexy while the music by Marvin Hamlisch uses every cliché in the composer’s arsenal to build to a syrupy but irresistible coda.

We Have All The Time in the World, Louis Armstrong
The delicate ballad from Her Majesty’s Secret Service answers the question: what would it sound like of Louis Armstrong met Burt Bacharach? It sounds good.

For Your Eyes Only, Sheena Easton
A truly horrible song by any measure — except the Bond theme measure. Easton crams in the lyrical double-entendres just in case we forget we’re at the peak of the Roger Moore-era and never misses an opportunity to over-emote. To hear Easton sing it, James Bond isn’t just keeping the world safe from baddies, he’s keeping our hearts safe, too.

Goldeneye, Tina Turner
Composed by Bono and the Edge and sung by Tina Turner, who gets into the same vocal space as Shirley Bassey; she’s a little camp, but not so camp that you can’t enjoy the song as light entertainment.

Goldfinger, Shirley Bassey
Less a song than an alphorn to herd people into movie theaters, Bassey walks the line between seduction and camp with the same dexterity as Sean Connery.
