Yes, and Bond's marriage is also referred to in The Spy Who Loved Me and Licence to Kill. Both times the hint is that Bond still has painful memories.

No, Lazenby's film tried super-hard to convince moviegoers that Lazenby was playing the same character as Connery. Why else would Lazenby gaze nostalgically at all the souvenirs from Connery films on his desk?

Well, I should be happy about Henry V. But I'd still disagree about the later two films. Hamlet was a tonal opposite to Henry V and analogous in atmosphere to Welles's Macbeth—cold, noirish and claustrophobic. And though I don't agree with Olivier's oedipal focus, that and his controversial cutting of the text…

Olivier's films were never horribly dry—his Henry V remains tremendously exciting and daringly cycles between extreme stylization and realism, his Hamlet was smoky film noir with eerily prowling camerawork, and his Richard III features one of the most enjoyable performances on film, captured through a pioneering use…

The problem with the last season is that MTV rushed Davis and company into producing it, so there was much less writing time than usual.

I saw this at Frameline, where it was a huge success, but I agree with Uhlich's review—The Way He Looks is tender and sweet to the point of being a little too sweet. It's over-focused on enveloping the audience in a feel-good haze.

Yes, all that foreshadowing was for naught, and the resolution was a wet noodle. And the way Liam talked Scott down was way too easy, as was Liam learning to control his full moon transformation (if all it takes is a Buddhist platitude, Victoria Argent was a fool to kill herself!). The problem with the "You're not a…

If anyone's wondering why this season was so shoddy, Jeff Davis's recent interview with Assignment X explains a lot. Take it away Jeff:

"I felt like this entire season could've been saved if Scott had even THOUGHT about killing Peter."
Agreed. Instead Scott has become a bland superhero, complete with a sanctimonious "I don't kill" complex and his own Arkham Asylum of recurring baddies. Even his lycanthropy is treated as just another superpower. The…

I was also thinking of that bit where Scott was punching that assassin and his face—for the first time I know of—transformed a third of the way into that of the CGI wolf. I still don't know if the show plans to expand on that, though the berserker scene at the end suggests otherwise. In any case, a "black kryptonite…

I agree entirely. It's ironic that a show named Teen Wolf isn't that interested in werewolves. Instead it's turned lycanthropy into just another superpower. And as you noted, werewolves are presented so benignly that the bitten hunters who kill themselves look stupid. The only bright side about the show underplaying…

I like reading Price's reviews because they're funnier than anyone else's, and when he's feeling critical he can point out the show's absurdities with wicked glee. But I wish he felt critical more often, to the extent that LaToya is.

Jeff Davis has written elsewhere that budget issues are the main cause. However, he's also stated that he prefers using the actors with make-up, rather than the CGI beast from season one. While it's nice to take an occasional break from CGI, I'm also pretty tired of the "halloween-costume level fangs, pointy ears and…

LTK also has a good bit of Fleming in it—Felix getting fed to the sharks and Bond feeding the feeder to the sharks are taken from the novel of Live and Let Die, while Bond's worming his way into Sanchez's organization has parallels to Bond and Scaramanga in the novel of The Man With the Golden Gun.
TLD is an excellent…

Yeah, that reeked a little too much of the "All Asians are good at martial arts" stereotype.

Ironically, the actor playing Parish has already played a werewolf, in a Tom Holland short called "Bite." It's not very good but can be watched at Fear.net.

Yup. And if the TW writers are using the standard version of the kitsune, then Kira would become a fox, not a coyote, which is what Scott encountered.

In the original version of the film, Kline also played Vince's mother, which makes three characters…or four.

I saw the film in the theater when it came out, and the audience enjoyed it enormously, especially the second half. And I've shown it to a group of friends with excellent results. So I'd say you should give it another chance. In some ways the film has improved with age (the anti-Murdoch satire is definitely still…

Thank you for devoting some space to praise this sadly neglected comedy. Fierce Creatures earned decent reviews but was dumped in the theaters in early January, on the same weekend as the Star Wars reissue. The audience I saw it with laughed enthusiastically (especially during a certain bit with a sheep), but the film…
