The World is Not Enough, a review by Dragonfire

The World is Not Enough My Thoughts I actually watched this one at the beginning of the month, but I only just though checking out the extras.  I was waiting to post about the movie until I got through them. The plot is interesting for the most and having oil be involved works well.  Things end up being a bit more complicated than they seem at first.  Some of what happens is a bit predictable, but there are also a few things that happen that I thought were surprising the first time I saw the movie.  There is a little bit of mystery to what is going on, though it doesn't take long for James to figure out that Renard is involved.  There is enough mystery to keep things interesting, though the mystery could have been stronger.  Once again, there is a good amount of action throughout the movie.  The action scenes are done well and do help to keep things interesting as well as keep the pace moving.  One of the gadgets is rather silly even though it does end up being very useful at one point.  The violence isn't too extreme, though one or two things are a little more disturbing. James has his way with a few women again, starting with a female doctor he seduces to get cleared to go back on active duty after an injury.  Elektra is one of the stronger Bond women and a very intriguing character.  Unfortunately, the movie also has one of the worst Bond women ever in the form of Dr. Christmas Jones, a nuclear physicist.  I have no problem with beautiful women also being smart.  She just doesn't seem believable at all as a physicist.  And Denise Richards definitely isn't a good enough actress to pull that off.  She is horribly miscast and the character is is an undeveloped mess.  I still like Brosnan as Bond and think he handles the part well. The DVD has all sorts of extras on it about the making of the movie that are interesting.  A few of them seem a bit long, but they are interesting.  There is a nice tribute to Desmond Llewyn, the man who played Q.  This movie has some issues - mostly Denise Richards - but I still enjoy it overall. I did get a review posted on Epinions if anyone wants to take a look. The World is Not Enough

I didn't expect much of this movie. Especially because of the rather low rating on IMDb. But I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it throughout. All the three storylines were fun to watch. The music was also okay. And there was a very nice sequence which was paying tribute to Charlie Chaplin.
I bought this movie because of Priyanka Chopra. There are some movies with her that I really enjoy. Like "Krrish", "What's Your Rashee?" and "Pyaar Impossible". But she also has some really big turds. Luckily this is one of her good works.

2016 TV Pilot Reviews, a review by DJ Doena

It's all about family. Brothers, sisters, children, fathers.

One happy pair is expecting triples, about to burst into this world.

The other pair are siblings; she's heavily overweight and struggling with it, and he's Mister Hardbody and an actor playing a stupid role in a mindless sitcom.

And the last one is a man looking for his biological father who left him at the entrance of a firehouse when he was born.

What they do share, is their birthday. Their 36th birthday to be exact. The triplet-father, the twins and the fatherless man. And by the looks of it, the triplets will share their birthday.

I did enjoy the acting, it is an interesting cast and it could be an interesting story, especially after you learn how all the people are connected to one another.

I particularly found it hilarious how Justin Hartley's (Smallville) character was against taking off his shirt in every scene for the sake of being eye-candy. Why did I find that to be funny? Well, because that was basically his job for all his episodes on Smallville. I don't think there was a single episode on that show where he didn't take his shirt off. He was even shirtless in the opening credits.

But in the end the show is going to be a family drama and that's not exactly my favourite TV food. As I said, the story could be interesting, but it's just not a genre that I personally prefer.
