Great Performances: Kiss Me Kate (2003)
A Musical Masterpiece
I was just commenting the evening of February 26, 2003 that Great Performances on PBS needed to have more musicals from Broadway. Sure enough that evening KISS ME KATE appeared and completely took me by surprise.
This revival musical had everything that it needed. It started out a little slow, but as it progressed they gave us great music and astounding dancing. The story was well written set against Shakespeare's THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, the music was spectacular as written by the great Cole Porter, and the acting was extremely well done by the entire cast. This show is certainly a must see.
Highlights include: So In Love, It's Too Darn Hot, Always True to You Darling In My Fashion, and Brush Up Your Shakespeare
Die Another Day (2002)
Worst BOND Ever
This is by far and away the worst BOND film ever.
This film lacked all the usual BOND qualities.
First off was the music, I believe I only the theme by Monty Norman played once (and it was completely faint, I could barely hear it).
A few things were there (the opening logo still looks good), and the underground tunnel with the old gadgets was pretty neat. The BOND girls were there, but lacked their usual style.
Mostly it was far fetched (as if the other BOND films weren't far fetched enough). I mean, invisible cars? space-age suits? wind-surfing on a lake of ice? lasers all over creation?
The creators need to bring back the old BOND. This film was pure sci-fi, techno, space-age garbage.
