Bond's new foe is Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce), just another super-villain craving for the domination over the world; he is to be defeated by the valiant Agent 007. Carver is a powerful media-tycoon who never has to search for the news because he always used to make them. Pierce Brosnan incarnates the Superspy again after his successful debut as Bond in "007: The Golden Eye"; the movie "Tomorrow never dies" keeps the tradition of involving the most intricate spy gadjets and contemporary defense technologies along with the most beautiful actresses participation (in this series, action star Michelle Yeoh, who has the "Miss Malaysia" title). Bond is to prevent the Third World War which looms closer and closer as Carver weaves his devilish plot to embroil the world's superpowers with each other using PR technologies and crimninal talents of his ally called Mr. Stamper (Gotz Otto).
The soundtrack of "Tomorrow Never Dies" is the song of the same name, brilliantly performed by Sheryl Crow, who also is an author of this heartfelt hit.

In this sequel to "Meet The Parents" Greg Focker faces a difficult task: he must now introduce the straight-laced Byrnes family to his wholly unconventional and totally eccentric parents. Ex-CIA agent Jack Byrnes and his wife travel to Florida to take a look at the people who had called their son Gaylord M. Focker. As the critics soundly state, the cast of the movie is brilliant (as well as in the previous one), but the movie itself is more contrived and predictable, and a lot less fun than the original. "The casting is grand, but one wishes more thought was put into the script". |
