TOMORROW NEVER DIES<br />
—<br />
••1/2<br />
Starring Pierce Brosnan, Jonathan<br />
Pryce, Michelle Yeoh, Teri Hatcher and<br />
Judi Dench. Directed by Roger<br />
Spottiswoode. Written by Bruce Feirstein.<br />
Produced by Barbara Broccoli and Michael<br />
G. Wilson. A UA release. Action/Adventure.<br />
Rated PG-13 for intense<br />
sequences ofaction violence, sexuality and<br />
innuendo. Running time: 119 min.<br />
It's a good thing the James Bond films<br />
switch lead actors so often or else it would<br />
be very difficult to tell the movies apart.<br />
Die-hard Bond fans likely won"t be disappointed<br />
by this outing, which possesses all<br />
the requisite elements they've come to know<br />
and love: inventive chase scenes in exotic,<br />
globe-trotting locales; lethal beauties; invincible<br />
henchmen; nifty gadgets; high-tech automobiles;<br />
and the obligatory pyrotechnic<br />
finale in the madman's secret lair, complete<br />
with a nuclear missile countdown.<br />
What is disappointing about "Tomorrow<br />
Never Dies" is the degree to which director<br />
Roger Spottiswoode and screenwriter Bruce<br />
Feirstein fail to make even the vaguest attempt<br />
at transcending the formula, much less<br />
make adequate use of their two very capable<br />
female "leads." Wade Major<br />
THE APOSTLE *•<br />
Starring Robert Duvall, Farrah Fawcett<br />
and Miranda Richardson. Directed and<br />
written by Robert Duvall. Produced by Robert<br />
Carliner. An October release. Drama.<br />
Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and a<br />
related scene of violence. Running time:<br />
150 min. Screened at Toronto.<br />
Actor Robert Duvall, who also directs and<br />
scripts, stars as "Sonny" Dewey, a fire-andbrimstone<br />
Texas preacher who, in a jealous<br />
rage, puts his wife's boyfriend in a coma. He<br />
flees to a black Louisiana town, where he<br />
takes on the charismatic mantle of "The<br />
Apostle" and the goal of building himself a<br />
new church. Unfortunately, Duvall's onenote<br />
character is devoid of the self-examination<br />
that would humanize him. Shlomo<br />

WILL IT SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS ?<br />
•••<br />
Starring Dominique Reymond and Daniel<br />
Duval. Directed and written by Sandrine<br />
Veysset. Produced by Humbert Balsan. A<br />
Zeitgeist release. Drama. French-language;<br />
subtitled. Running Time: 88 min.<br />
An unmarried woman (Dominique<br />
Reymond) lives with her seven children m a<br />
stone farmhouse in southern France. The<br />
rustic house is without plumbing or heat, but<br />
the mother's warm love keeps everyone<br />
happy until the arrival of the children's father<br />
(Daniel Duval), who has a wife elsewhere.<br />
He drives them hard to load the latest<br />
crop from the farm, and tension builds as the<br />
father explodes with anger and scorn.<br />
Reymond and Duval show both the palpable<br />
physical attraction between the mother<br />
and father as well as the volatility of their<br />
tempestuous relationship. The mother is<br />
desperate to protect her children from their<br />
father' s violence, building to a very poignant<br />
conclusion. Ed Scheid<br />
