MGM and Eon Productions have released the trailer for "No Time to Die" starring Daniel Craig. The trailer emphasizes action with the classic Aston Martin DB5 seen prominently throughout. Bond is brought out of retirement and has to adjust to a learning curveb in terms of working within a newly revitalized MI6, which had been left in shambles at the end of the last Bond film "Spectre". There is a bit of Christoph Waltz's welcome return as Blofeld and a tantalizing glimpse of Rami Malek as the new villain, Safin. The women in Bond's life also feature prominently including Lea Seydoux, his love interest from "Spectre", Ana de Armas as a new character, Paloma and Lashana Lynch as a female MI6 agent who seems to resent Bond's return from retirement.
When it opened in 1982, Martin Scorsese's "The King of Comedy" was not a hit. However, time has been kind to this brilliant, cynical take on how fame and celebrity can bring down a show business idol as well as fanatical fans. The film was far ahead of its time and would prove to be even more prescient as the years went by. The movie's oddball teaming of Robert De Niro and Jerry Lewis worked brilliantly and there was a superb supporting turn by Sandra Bernhardt. In this short tribute from 2009, New York Times film critic A.O. Scott celebrates this underrated gem.
