...World Is Not Enough watchable in its own right? I suppose so, but just make sure you have the right expectations. There are definitely impressive stunts, nifty special effects and attractive women. Pierce Brosnan well champions Bond's character in the face of the hoopla; his sardonic smirking and other unruffled debonair mannerisms are spot on, plus, he looks astoundingly good in dinner-wear.

Each of his works has its own cult following--but they all have the same distinct flavor. Just as he adores the monster movies of the '40s and '50s, directors years from now will adore Burton's work...
...Jane Pavese and her assistants were receptive to questions, but it was made clear that it was our duty to find the internship," says Katheryn M. Hayes '00.
