CASINO ROYALE By David Bianculli

This 1967 spoof is one of the most overlooked parts of the James Bond canon – but because the rights to this early Ian Fleming novel were sold to television in the days of live TV, in 1954 (long before Sean Connery played 007 on film in 1962), Casino Royale could be sold again, and made as a movie, outside the “official” Bond umbrella.

THE DESCENDANTS 3 By David Bianculli

MOVIE PREMIERE: The previous two films in this Disney franchise, from 2015 and 2017, both ended the same way, setting up a sequel by having a character look to the camera and ask, “You didn’t think this was the end of the story, did you?” Not when the previous Disney movie franchise, High School Musical, was so mega-popular among its tween viewers. So here we have the third iteration of The Descendants, which follows the respective, but not necessarily respe
