Diamonds Are Forever is often described as a Roger Moore film starring SeanConnery, but it goes even farther than that. Whereas Moore ushered inironic/silly codings, Diamonds contains the most overtly camp humour theseries ever indulged in. The film also contains the most amount of nudity,and arguably the rudest jokes of the franchise. The title quote isConnery'squip to a girl with ever-changing w...

Come back George, all is forgiven: At lease "On Her Majesty's SecretService" was recognizable as a Bond film. The latest installment in thefranchise, the 20th installment in fact, should have been a cause forcelebration. Instead, I have to rate it a solid 1, and that only becausethe system won't let me rate it lower. When did James Bond morph withRambo? What happened to the wit and charm that...

I recently embarked on a mission of my own. To watch all the Bond filmsin order. Believe me, it's not as easy as it sounds. Finding all ofthem is nearly impossible. Blockbuster's weak collection hardly doesany justice, so I ended up buying most of my favorites. I'm sorry to say, but to me Sean Connery is the only Bond. With thesingle exception being Craig in "Casino Royale". When I was...

A great suspense movie with terrific slow camera-work adding to thedramatics makes this a treat to watch and enjoy. Director-writer Briande Palma does a super Hitchcock-imitation (many called it a "ripoff")with this film and the 2.35:1 widescreen DVD is a must to fullyappreciate the camera-work (and several scenes with people hiding oneach side which are lost on formatted-for-TV tapes).The downsid...

I always thought that there was a line which filmmakers would not gobelow,as far as 'star power' movies go. Movies which rely on the fame of theirlead actor/role as the main drawcard are rarely any good, but I alwaysthought that there was a certain level of competence to them all. I'veseenVanilla Ice spout 'drop dat zero and get wit da hero' in 'Cool as Ice',andit was not pretty. I've seen Brit...

It was a hot day and I decided to hit a movie. "Dickie Roberts" justhappened to start at the right time for me. I didn't expect to like it asmuch as I did. Great script, perfectly cast (especially the kids) and itwasreally kinda heartwarming.If you're a pop culture nut, you'll get a big kick outta seeing all theformer child stars in the poker scene and then again at the end (stay forthe credits).S...

Charles Busch is a female impersonator who writes and stars in genreparodies. His last filmed effort was Psycho Beach Party. This latesteffort, Die Mommie Die, is a parody of the drama queen melodramas of the50sand 60s, in which actresses like Susan Hayward schemed andseduced callously, and encountered crises which were not only larger thantheir real-life counterparts, but also arrived with far g...

Once every few years, you're presented to a slapstick comedy sohilarious you instantly forget how LOW this form of entertainmentactually is. I can't give a scientific explanation to state how comeit's funny to see someone (preferably wearing glasses) getting hit inthe face by a ball…it just is. Dodgeball is vulgar, crude and withoutsubstance…but your stomach will hurt from laughing and d...

This movie is terrific. It's very funny and very powerful. Everythingthat happens is a necessary plot point to tell the story. Nothing isextraneous. Each character is uniquely entertaining and real, they eachremind us of someone we know. We root for Stephen, we dislike Heidi,and we can't help but love Fanny. The characters are developedwonderfully. The performances are all terrific. I've never see...
