Pierce Brosnan Double Feature: GOLDENEYE, 1995, MGM/Park Circus, 130 min. Dir. Martin Campbell. Following the collapse of the Soviet empire, a renegade Russian general commandeers a deadly satellite; in order to stop him, James Bond must go up against a fellow MI6 spy - who's also licensed to kill. After a six-year hiatus, the world's most famous secret agent returned to the screen in this successful reboot of the franchise for the 1990s. GOLDENEYE introduces a new Bond (Pierce Brosnan), a new M (Judi Dench), a new Miss Moneypenny (Samantha Bond) and even a new car (a souped-up BMW replaces the trusty Aston-Martin). And though it's also the first of the series to utilize CGI effects, the film has plenty of good old-fashioned stunt work, including a breathtaking opening bungee jump and a chase sequence with 007 behind the wheel of a tank! [35mm]
