Advantages: Classic Bond moments in first half of the film. Disadvantages: Gadgets ruin the film, as does John Cleese as Q.
Madonna who sang the title song of the film has been given a cameo part. Her scene is completely under lit and leaves her looking rather butch. By the way the title song is not one of the memorable ones in the series and can be quite annoying after hearing it a few times.
Released in 2002, the film marked the 40thAnniversary of the franchise. The Gun Barrel sequence was adjusted slightly, a number of reference to all previous films were made throughout the film itself, the most obvious one being in the scene with the new Q where a whole scope of gadgets from previous adventures are seen. , and the use of the Aston Martin made a welcome and long overdue return to the screen as Bond's car of choice as the BMW's were not used in the film at all. The Aston Martin is put to much more use than previous film as Bond uses the car throughout ...
that is mentioned more than any other film. This is, Walt Disney's - Mary Poppins.
Imagine my surprise when having not seen this classic creation for about 10 years when my boyfriend gave me a little surprise? the DVD - 2 Disc, 40thAnniversaryEdition. So I spent my Friday night snug in bed singing and reciting every word to the lovely and comforting lyrics of this magnificent movie. I felt like I was 5 years old again?.
**The History Behind Mary Poppins**

Advantages: A classic of French cinema Disadvantages: Challenging at times
intrigued by the strange fantasy requirements of the clientele and the tasks she is asked to carry out.
Catherine Deneuve gives an elegant and impassive performance throughout and is perfectly cast as "Belle de Jour" - a lady of the day rather than a lady of the night - a kind of symbolic play on words. She convincingly portrays Severine's double life where on the surface she is the modern affluent bourgeois housewife, but underneath she harbours a closet full of depraved and self-degrading sado-masochistic sexual fantasies. It is this rich fantasy world that comes to dominate her life. This masochistic imagination is realised in the opening scenes where we observe Severine and Pierre take a horse-drawn coach ride into the country. Suddenly the carriage pulls up and on her husband's command the two drivers drag Severine from the carriage ...

Album Notes
Released in early 1969, the second album by guitarist/vocalist John Fogerty's Californian quartet is perhaps the definitive example of the group's swampy brew of rock, R&B, and blues. The key song on BAYOU COUNTRY is "Proud Mary," a rock milestone that still sounds just as fresh and exciting as it did when it first boomed out of AM radios decades ago. Although Creedence indulges in a few extended jams on tracks like "Keep On Chooglin" and "Graveyard Train," they forsake the gratuitous soloing favored by many of their San Francisco contemporaries in favor of fleshing out rhythmic, rock-solid grooves. From Fogerty's formidable bluesman's growl on "Born On The Bayou" to the explosive version of Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly," BAYOU COUNTRY is what rootsy rock & roll is all about, and it's one of the best American rock albums of the '60s.
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (3/1/69, p.28) - "...very reminiscent of that early Stones [sound] - hard rock, based in blues....John Fogerty carries the group with his good lead guitar...good vocal and harp work....[CCR] has a solid overall sound....very tight..."
