Buy This Item Die Another Day (Special Edition) by MGM (Video & DVD)  Available from Amazon  $55.99  on 11-17-2008     The 20th James Bond adventure, <I>Die Another Day</I> succeeds on three important fronts: it avoids comparison to <I>Austin Powers</I> by keeping its cheesy humor in check, allows Halle Berry to be sexy <I>and</I> worthy of a spinoff franchise, and keeps pace with the technical wizardry that modern action films demand. Pierce Brosnan's got style <I>and</I> staying power as James Bond, now bearing little resemblance to Ian Fleming's original British super-spy, but able to hold his own at the box office. He's paired with American agent Jinx (Berry) in chasing a genetically altered North Korean villain (Rick Yune) armed with a satellite capable of destroying just about anything. John Cleese and Judi Dench reprise their recurring roles (as "Q" and "M," respectively); they're accompanied by weapons-laden sports cars, a hokey cameo by Madonna (who sings the techno-pulsed theme song), and enough double-entendres to keep Bond-philes adequately shaken and stirred. With clever nods to 007's cinematic legacy, <I>Die Another Day</I> makes you welcome the familiar end-credits promise: James Bond <I>will</I> return. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I> Reader Reviews If you like Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry, here they are at their best. Brosnan is a master in fencing and Berry is just great in a bikini. A must for 007 fans. My favorite.
