Die Another Day (Widescreen Special Edition) $14.94 I think this movie is basically a remake of the original Sean Connery movie, Diamonds Are Forever, which is difficult to find now. In this movie, as in that one, an evil genius wants to collect a lot of diamonds with which to make a laser weapon. That said, this movie is far more watchable than the original Sean Connery movie, which after the first few minutes,...and then the rest is forgettable. The scene that made that one famous was the interrogation of a woman. He strangles her with her own brassiere (or bathing suit top) until she agrees to tell him the secret location of Blofeld's hideout. Once there, he sees a double of himself; a plot involving cloning (or disguising) is hinted at. He is found. And then this guy reaches into Bond's pocket for a gun, but he finds a deadly mouse trap instead. He screams in pain. Bond pushes him away, and using surgical tools as weapons, disables the others. Then he takes Blofeld and throws him into what seems to be a hot lava pit, and says, "Welcome to hell, Blofeld". And that was all in the first few minutes. But the rest of that movie, I could not recall. The movie was on television again, recently, and it really is awful, boring. Die Another Day, may be the only Bond movie that does not put me to sleep. Now, when you watch this movie, Die Another Day, the plot of the original, will seem all too familiar, but at the same time, fresh, new, and better. In this one, he laces up a woman from behind, until she tells him who he is looking for. It is quite an improvement from the original. Also, in the first few minutes of Die Another Day, he is captured, and then subjected to torture by it seems a beautiful woman, who seems to also be in charge of other soldiers who beat him up, seemingly at her command. Is she a voyeur, or is it concern for his well-being that she is expressing? Anyway, a middle-aged male General shows up and informs Bond that he does not approve of "what they do there". Bond looks at him, and says, "I suggest you take it up with the Concierge", referring to the woman behind him, his torturer. He refuses to break, and use abusive language towards a woman. They have not conquered him, those sodomites. And that all happens before the movie truly begins. This then, is the best Bond ever. Also, as the movie progresses, this evil doctor uses awful language, giving vivid descriptions of surgical procedures, and orphans, which makes you think, If a doctor will not treat (cure) people for free, then he cannot be trusted. She kills him, and you feel better, because he has stopped talking.  The Libertine $14.95 THE LIBERTINE presents a sumptuous, and at the same time filthy England, wallowing in the decadence of the Restoration, and no one seems to be happier wading through this moral decay than John Wilmot, the 2nd Earl of Rochester. Johnny Depp is astonishing in this role, despite the sliminess of the character he portrays. Samantha Morton as his protege, and love interest is also excellent, and John Malkovitch as Charles II turns in a ( for him ) restrained, well-tuned performance. There is plenty of style, but little substance in this movie. |
