the film is not considered part of the canon of the bond film franchise from eon productions and united artists and is not produced by albert r. broccoli, despite its currently being handled by the official film series distributor, mgm. mgm acquired the distribution rights in 1997 after their acquisition of orion pictures. the film also marks the culmination of a long legal battle between united artists and kevin mcclory. its release opposite the franchise bond film octopussy (starring roger moore) quickly led the media to dub the situation the
battle of the bonds
.
mcclory originally planned for the film to open with some version of the famous
gunbarrel
opening as seen in the official bond series, but ultimately the film opens with a screenful of
007
symbols instead. when the soundtrack for the film was released on cd, it included a piece of music composed for the proposed opening .

in a film adaptation of composer michael john lachiusa’s 1994 musical, hello again (which was inspired by arthur schnitzler’s play der reigen and max ophuls’ oscar - nominated film, la ronde), director tom gustafson brings together an all - star cast in this time - travelling gender - bending musical celebrating a century’s worth of unbound sexuality and unrequited love in the heart of the big apple .

the ballad of narayama
is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice, telling a story of startling cruelty. what a space it opens…
actionized sequel: it' s still a horror film, but this is where godzilla first fights an opponent who' s as dangerous as he is. more action scenes are spread throughout the course of the film' s shorter runtime, most noticeably a convict breakout leading into a rather grindingly slow car chase, and instead of a two - man operation to deploy a chemical weapon underwater, the film climaxes with a furious assault on godzilla by the air defense force .
i was expecting a cheesy film. i am not into musicals so was hesitant to commit to this film, in a theatre. but, i was pleasantly surprised. i find some of ruffalos work, like now you see me, to be hard to sit through. i did not dislike that film, but i hated his performance. part of it was how vapid the character was. in this film it is the opposite. he is charming, roguish, creative, and delightful to watch. quite frankly i did not think knightly was up to this either. was i ever surprised. she was great. well written, well directed, and very good overall. in these days of hollywood losing its edge, and producing more and more low quality, derivative work, it is refreshing to see a film like this one. and i did not even need to use my earplugs. transformer this film was not. thankfully .

despite poor reception by critics and fans, the film became the third most attended entry in japan. the film was dubbed as gigantis, the fire monster, which did things like give godzilla anguirus' roar in order to convince audiences this wasn' t a godzilla sequel (no, really), because paul schreibman, who distributed the film through warner brothers, believed that a stand alone film would be more successful. the dub was notable for having george takei, marvin miller, and keye luke among the cast, but it wasn' t well received and schreibman himself later lamented his decision. depending on your point of view, it' s either an embarrassment or comedy gold .
production on the film was troubled, [ 15 ] with connery taking on many of the production duties with assistant director david tomblin. [ 6 ] director irvin kershner was critical of producer jack schwartzman, saying that whilst he was a good businessman ,
he didn' t have the experience of a film producer

reese witherspoon stars in the lighthearted comedy home again. after a drunken one - night stand on her 40th birthday alice, a recently separated single mother, invites three struggling filmmakers to stay in her guest house, and they soon begin to bond with her daughters and become protective of her when her husband attempts a reconciliation. unfortunately the script is rather weak and doesn' t really explain why alice and her husband separated, leaving the audience uncertain as to whether they should want her to move on or reconcile. in fact, the film plays it safe in almost every way; there are no villains, no real acts of betrayal, or conflicts that aren' t easily resolved. and the comedy is pretty tame as well. an entertaining but forgettable film, home again has no ambition or passion to it .
apocalypse wow: unlike the previous film, there' s no other human casualties aside six criminals and a few jsdf planes. but the scenery gorn in osaka still had its effects upon its inhabitants .
apparently, the most unbelievable part of the film—that alice would allow three strangers to move in with her and her young daughters—actually happened to a woman that meyers - shyer knew. fine. but her job was to make it believable in her movie instead of just a plot contrivance. yes, the casual - chic interior designs shine as much as her mom’s ever did. but i never really felt at home with “home again. ”
people has the exclusive first look at the film, written and directed by a newcomer with an impressive pedigree, hallie meyers - shyer. her mom, nancy meyers, is the director behind hits like something’s gotta give and it’s complicated, as well as the writer of private benjamin. and witherspoon says watching the mother - daughter duo work together (nancy is a producer on home again) was her favorite part of the shoot .
hello again directed by tom gustafson (2017; 105 min; usa; color: dcp; speak productions; not rated) starring martha plimpton, rumer willis, t. r. knight, cheyenne jackson, and audra mcdonald
the film, based on michael john lachiusa’s 1994 musical (itself inspired by arthur schnitzler’s 1897 play la ronde), follows a series of ten love affairs and flings throughout various eras in new york city history .
off model: much like the previous film, the monsters' close - ups are operated by a hand puppet. said close - ups don' t make them look like an exact match to the suits .
that comparison would be unfair if home again weren' t so conspicuously working from mom' s recipe, especially (meyers is one of the film' s producers). the ingredients are all here, most notably an attractive, affluent protagonist with a pile of first - world problems and a drool - worthy home. but home again has little of the old - fashioned panache or fizz of meyers' most entertaining movies (something' s gotta give, for example), or their success in playing to the strengths of the leads. flatly staged, patchily acted and hobbled by a script (by meyers - shyer) that substitutes strained cuteness for wit and texture, home again is like a feature - length sitcom sans laughs. it may find an audience — if ever the timing were right for a feel - good fantasy, it would be now — but viewers deserve more from their escapist fluff .
is the type of short film... you can' t help but remember by the time the festival ends and you' re thinking about your own personal best of the fest flicks .

the film makes a few changes to the james bond universe. mi6 is shown to be underfunded and understaffed, particularly with regards to q - branch, and the character q is referred to by the name
algernon
, and is presumably a different individual than the q in the official bond films (whose name is major boothroyd). the film also appears to take place in an
alternate universe
in which none of the events of you only live twice, on her majesty' s secret service, diamonds are forever and the opening sequence of for your eyes only have occurred, since blofeld is alive and apparently previously unknown to bond and mi6. despite sharing many basic similarities with thunderball, the course of events throughout the film are different enough for it to be more than a direct remake, and the action clearly takes place at a much later date (contemporary with the film' s production) .

as the credits roll, it can be said that home again is a tight, witty script from a first - time director with a long list of hits ahead of her - and, of course, the golden age of hollywood dynasties lighting her way .

in 1978 the working title james bond of the secret service was being used and connery was in the frame once again, potentially going head - to - head with the next eon bond film, moonraker. [ 12 ] by 1980, with legal issues again causing the project to founder, [ 6 ] connery thought himself unlikely to play the role, as he stated in an interview in the sunday express :
when i first worked on the script with len i had no thought of actually being in the film
. [ 13 ] when producer jack schwartzman became involved, he asked connery to play bond; connery agreed, asking (and getting) a fee of $ 3 million, ($ 7 million in 2016 dollars) a percentage of the profits, as well as casting and script approval. [ 6 ] subsequent to connery reprising the role, the script has several references to bond' s advancing years – playing on connery being 52 at the time of filming [ 6 ] – and academic jeremy black has pointed out that there are other aspects of age and disillusionment in the film, such as the shrubland' s porter referring to bond' s car (

many of the elements of the eon - produced bond films were not present in never say never again for legal reasons. these included the gun barrel sequence, where a screen full of 007 symbols appeared instead, and similarly there was no

the film is notable for depicting felix leiter, bond' s cia colleague, as an african - american, something which would not occur in the eon series until casino royale in 2006. the film also makes a major departure from official continuity by ending with bond indicating his intention to retire from mi6 - while bond had considered retirement in on her majesty' s secret service, he is shown to be unsure of the decision and later chooses to stay with the service. in the scene where bond states his intention to quit, connery breaks the fourth wall by winking at the camera; while this is incorrectly considered by many as being unique to this film, george lazenby was in fact the first bond to break the fourth wall almost 15 years earlier when he told the audience ,

bittersweet ending: godzilla is defeated, but at the cost of tsukioka' s best friend' s life. the film ends on a rather somber note as tsukioka pulls his f86 away, concluding with a slow zoom out of kamiko island. gigantis, with the magic of stock footage, ends on a decidedly forced, lighter note .
early installment weirdness: while some of these are de facto traits carried over from the previous film, godzilla still has his low pitched bellows, his fins don' t light up when he breathes the heat - ray (shortsightedness on behalf of the spfx crew), and he and his opponent are portrayed through puppetry much more frequently .

home again stars reese witherspoon as alice kinney in a modern romantic comedy. recently separated from her husband, (michael sheen), alice decides to start over by moving back to her hometown of los angeles with her two young daughters. during a night out on her 40th birthday, alice meets three aspiring filmmakers who happen to be in need of a place to live. alice agrees to let the guys stay in her guest house temporarily, but the arrangement ends up unfolding in unexpected ways. alice' s unlikely new family and new romance comes to a crashing halt when her ex - husband shows up, suitcase in hand. home again is a story of love, friendship, and the families we create. and one very big life lesson: starting over is not for beginners .
compounding that lack of tension is the movie' s genericism — its insipid writing and pedestrian direction, as well as the all but nonexistent chemistry between witherspoon and alexander. the latter is too slick by half, a cookie - cutter cutie without a glimmer of authentic personality. (home again might have been more interesting had the less conventionally dreamy wolff or rudnitsky been cast as the love interest) .
witherspoon doesn' t have much to play with, though she gets to let loose in a scene that finds her drunkenly telling off one of her clients, a passive - aggressive yoga - mom snob played with gleeful obnoxiousness by lake bell. that character is a welcome shot of mischief (she has a daughter named gwyneth; make of that what you will) in a movie that' s otherwise nice to the point of numbness. at the same time, the send - up of suburban socal privilege feels disingenuous since the whole film — its people, situations and sensibilities — exists within that same realm of clueless entitlement. it' s perhaps unsurprising that, apart from one fleeting exception, there' s not a person of color in sight; home again is vanilla in more ways than one .
characterization marches on: since this godzilla will become the one in the 60' s and 70' s, in this film, his character ranged from an animalistic creature who is destructive as hell to a superhero with anthropomorphic tendencies. yes, this the same godzilla of the 60' s and mid' 70' s of later films. his heisei counterpart remains the same creature he' s always been .
for the main villain in the film, maximillian largo, connery suggested klaus maria brandauer, the lead of the 1981 academy award - winning hungarian film mephisto. [ 7 ] through the same route came max von sydow as ernst stavro blofeld, [ 15 ] although he still retained his eon - originated white cat in the film. [ 16 ] for the femme fatale, director irvin kershner selected former model and playboy cover girl barbara carrera to play fatima blush – the name coming from one of the early scripts of thunderball. [ 6 ] carrera' s performance as fatima blush earned her a golden globe award nomination for best supporting actress, [ 17 ] which she lost to cher for her role in silkwood. [ 18 ] micheline connery, sean' s wife, had met up - and - coming actress kim basinger at a hotel in london and suggested her to connery, which he agreed upon. [ 6 ] for the role of felix leiter, connery spoke with bernie casey, saying that as the leiter role was never remembered by audiences, using a black leiter might make him more memorable. [ 7 ] others cast included comedian rowan atkinson, who would later parody bond in his role of johnny english. [ 19 ]

usually there is nothing wrong with indulgent escapism as a cinematic commodity. but it’s probably more than a little tone deaf right now to trot out to see a cream - puffy hollywood rom - com fantasy involving coddled well - off people. consider that one of the bigger setbacks faced by at least three characters at some point in “home again” is that they choose to eat cold leftover lasagna straight out of the same red le creuset pan. oh, the humanity .
: tsukioka has a knack for this: 9 minutes into the film, he and kobayashi encounter godzilla and anguirus on iwato island; they encounter the police officers chasing after prisoners who had just escaped using a truck, and tsukioka finds godzilla while the whole air force is looking for him. while the last one was justified, the other 2 are an odd coincidence. steve ryfle on the classic media commentary lampshaded this .

when producer kevin mcclory had first planned the film in 1964 he held initial talks with richard burton for the part of bond, [ 11 ] although the project came to nothing because of the legal issues involved. when the warhead project was launched in the late 1970s, a number of actors were mentioned in the trade press, including orson welles for the part of blofeld, trevor howard to play m and richard attenborough as director.

the film features an all - star cast that also includes candice bergen and lake bell, along with a few young newcomers. “the cast was incredibly talented and fun to be with, ” witherspoon says. “the three young men who were cast — pico alexander, nat wolff and jon rudnitsky — brought so much energy, humor and creativity to their roles. it was really exciting to get to work with a new generation of talented actors. ”
the rest of home again plays out precisely as you expect: alice gets her groove back through her affair with harry, while the dudes try to make it in hollywood without compromising their, um, artistic integrity. there are hiccups and hitches along the way, all of the deja vu variety: harry gets caught up having drinks with some producers and misses a date with alice; alice struggles to kick her interior decorating career into high gear; austen reappears and tries to win alice back .

this scene also prevented author john gardner from having a somewhat similar scene involving bond playing a computer game over a lan in gardner' s novel role of honour. bond was supposed to be playing a simulation of
the battle of waterloo
, this was later changed to a different type of game involving
the battle of bunker hill
. interestingly, the battle of waterloo would also play a part in the later official bond film, the living daylights .

never say never again had its origins in the early 1960s, following the controversy over the 1961 thunderball novel. [ 1 ] fleming had worked with independent producer kevin mcclory and scriptwriter jack whittingham on a script for a potential bond film, to be called longitude 78 west, [ 2 ] which was subsequently abandoned because of the costs involved. [ 3 ] fleming ,
always reluctant to let a good idea lie idle
, [ 3 ] turned this into the novel thunderball, for which he did not credit either mcclory or whittingham; [ 4 ] mcclory then took fleming to the high court in london for breach of copyright [ 4 ] and the matter was settled in 1963. [ 2 ] after eon productions started producing the bond films, it subsequently made a deal with mcclory, who would produce thunderball, and then not make any further version of the novel for a period of ten years following the release of the eon - produced version in 1965. [ 5 ]
yet even the swardson bits are more tolerable this time out (after a bungled stunt early in the movie, sandy insists on his client’s behalf that the sky be cleared of “all birds” before he performs again). this is the least vulgar and least bullying sandler movie in ages; the only vestige of typical happy madison crassness is the glaze of sentiment, which smothers the material far less than usual. maybe it’s a question of drastically lowered expectations finally working to sandler’s advantage, but sandy wexler is disarming in its charms .
they start dating — sort of. but more than that, alice agrees to let harry and his partners move into her guest house, because … why not? after all, it’s not as if her kids, her divorce, and her new career are keeping her busy. when george, the screenwriter, stumbles into her dad’s old study, jammed with movie posters and film reels, he acts as if he’d just learned that her father was orson welles. (really? making commercial american comedies in the late 1970s ?) and when harry tells alice’s mother that he himself is a filmmaker, and bergen puts a dry spin on the line “everybody is! we’re in l. a. , ” harry shoots her a look that says, yes, but our film is in black - and - white! the three dudes are portrayed as millennial saints who become alice’s pals, neighbors, chauffeurs, and babysitters, as the movie seeks to turn itself into a sitcom called “four’s company. ”
