Terence Young's 1963 triumph "From Russia with Love" was the James Bond series' first sequel, and, 60 years later, it's still considered by many 007 aficionados to be one of franchise's finest installments. It's a brisk, surprisingly brutal film. The gadgetry popularized by 1964's "Goldfinger" (and launched well over the top by 1965's "Thunderball") is kept to a sensible minimum; for the most part, this is a revenge film in which our licensed-to-kill protagonist is lured into an elaborate defection plot designed to knock him off for having killed Spectre's Dr. No in the first movie. Narratively, it's as small potatoes as the mostly maligned "Casino Royale" follow-up "Quantum of Solace" (a revenge film in the other direction), but, at the time, it had the advantage of working within an unformed universe.
"From Russia with Love" has two of the Bond series' oddest highlights: the sexualized Turkish settlement brawl between Martine Beswick and Aliza Gur,...

Swimming in Your Skin Again. Courtesy of the artist.The French word “univitellin” means “of the same egg,” referring to a myriad of things that may look disparate but ultimately share an idea that binds them together. Terence Nance is a writer, a filmmaker, a musician, an actor. Among many other things, he created the HBO series Random Acts of Flyness (2018–2022); he is also the show’s composer and editor. The multi-branched network that defines Nance’s artistic pursuits travels long and deep but are all essentially of the same egg. “The idea of ritual” is what unites his work, he said when I spoke to him over Zoom about “Terence Nance: Swarm,” his new exhibition at Philadelphia’s Institute of Contemporary Art. “I want to be transported when I'm experiencing art. I want to be pulled into it emotionally, like that ritual of making music or feeling it or being a part of it.

Dancer and choreographer Terence Lewis compared ‘India’s Best Dancer 3’ (IBD3) contestant Aniket Chauhan with legendary actor and comedian Charlie Chaplin and said that if he were a dancer, his moves would be similar to Aniket’s.
He got impressed with Aniket’s dance moves on the song ‘Haawa Haawa’ from Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Rockstar’. The 20-year-old contestant has been selected directly to the best 12 from the audition round because of his performance.
Terence said: “Watching you perform, I am reminded of an iconic figure from the history of cinema. In any acting school, you will learn that there is no actor greater than him. That actor is Charlie Chaplin. He was the funniest actor of that era. Although he was not a dancer, today the thought strikes me that if Charlie Chaplin were a dancer, he would have probably danced like you.”
