’On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ deals with 007’s continuing pursuit of the villainous Ernst Stavro Blofeld, one that stretched through several of the earlier movies. The role was always played by a different actor in a radically different tone; occasionally bald and consistently fond of white cats. This particular head of S.P.E.C.T.R.E., as played by TV’s ’Kojak’, Telly Savalas, is not the sinister creep with the unseen face of earlier movies, but rather a megalomaniac Goldfinger-inspired type who seems to have directly influenced the creation of Mike Myers’ Dr. Evil. He wants the world to pay a ransom or else he will spread a virus capable of destroying its crops, with the assistance of a team of unwitting beauties of all races (in what looks like the cast of a 1960s Miss Universe pageant). As Bond becomes involved with the complex Tracy Draco (Diana Rigg), he’ll unwillingly involve her in the action, resulting in two of the series’ most unexpected outcomes.
To make up for the lack of Connery, the script goes out of its way to provide Lazenby with plenty of lines to remind us that his Bond isn’t very different from the original. More than ever, he seems to be the ultimate expert on alcoholic beverages, gourmet foods and the use of witty lines in tense situations (Draco: ’I didn’t think you’d accept a formal invitation.’ Bond: ’There’s always something formal about the point of a pistol!’). It’s also no surprise that Lazenby’s Bond turns out to be an expert knife-thrower as well as an Olympic-caliber skier the very first time he hits the slopes in the series. What is a little harder to digest is that this Blofeld turns out to be just about as good in the latter talent. ’On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ is a relatively gadget-free 007 entry but it’s striking how Q Branch always comes up with just the perfect contraption for each mission. If Bond needs to crack a safety deposit box and copy the documents inside, Q will come up with the world’s first safe opener to ever include a Xerox photocopier! The series here reaches the point of becoming self-aware, with Lazenby addressing the camera and saying ’This never happened to the other fellow’ as he first fails to land his leading lady and, should his presence confuse anybody on whether this an actual 007 movie, there’s a credits scene that displays the greatest moments from previous entries, a janitor whistling the theme from ’Goldfinger’ and a sequence where Bond can be seen in his office, admiring mementos from past adventures.Roger Ebert Review Of Casino
First he made “Ed Wood,” a tribute to the man fondly recalled as the worst movie director of all time. Now Tim Burton seems to have made a tribute to Wood’s work. 888 poker malware. “Mars Attacks!” has the look and feel of a schlocky 1950s science-fiction movie, and if it’s not as bad as a Wood film, that’s not a plus: A movie like this should be a lot better, or a lot worse. “Mars Attacks!” plays. 88 Roger Ebert The General Boorman’s film is shot in wide-screen black and white, and as it often does, black and white emphasizes the characters and the story, instead of setting them awash in atmosphere.Casino Movie Review Roger EbertCasino Ebert Review
The film fares reasonably well with Lazenby in the role. Its biggest problem can be summarized by what Roger always used to say: ’Bond films are only as good as their villains’. This particular Blofeld’ and his ’Angels of death’ scheme are much campier than sinister, and too far-fetched to generate any kind of suspense. The infiltration of Blofeld’s clinic in the Swiss Alps by Bond and associates feels much too routine thanks to one of those typical battles we’ve seen time and time again, where the teams of good guys and bad guys launch grenades at one another while wearing opposite bright-toned suits for the sake of easy differentiation. Additionally, henchwoman Irma Blunt, an obvious Rosa Klebb wannabe, is nowhere near her predecessor’s sinisterly league. She looks like the moody matron at an all-girls dormitory more than anything else. There’s also the matter of having assigned Bond with a sidekick and sacrificial lamb Campbell (Bernard Horsefall) who’s only there as an excuse for Bond to become enraged with the villains once they inevitably dispatch him. It’s hard to become too attached with a character who doesn’t speak more than 20 words in the movie and exchanges no dialogue whatsoever with Lazenby.
