"A highlight among 1950s creature-features, The Monster That Challenged the World is a near-classic B movie that never goes out of style.

"The Blu-ray release of Licence to Kill contains a mixed bag of bonus material, some of which is quite good but little of which takes much advantage of the format's potential. Of the items that do, perhaps the most interesting is an interactive feature (called "007 Mission Control") that allows viewers to jump to specific moments or lines (if you want to hear star Timothy Dalton introduce himself as "Bond… James Bond," here's easy access ..."
"30 m, 7 f, plus ensemble (doubling possible.) / Ints., exts. This mesmerizing Phantom is traditional musical theatre in the finest sense.

"Most opera houses ring in the New Year with Johann Strauss Jr.'s most popular operetta--the festiveness of which is appropriate for the occasion--and this December 31, 1983, Covent Garden performance follows suit.

Plácido Domingo leads the Orchestra of th ..."
