Gamerz-Edge My Name is Modesty Review   (Site not responding.

My Name is Modesty review (2003) Alexandra Staden - Qwipster's Movie Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) Modesty uses all of her street smarts to try to save her fellow employees, as well as the casino, ultimately resulting in a dangerous game of roulette between the two crafty leaders of their respective factions. Staden makes for a statuesque Modesty Blaise, but outside of her good looks and lean build, she has difficulty showing any range of emotion outside of stoicism, and the few scenes where she has to engage in showing her prowess in martial arts are amateurishly handled. My Name is Modesty is an appetizer waiting for a full-course meal, which I assume will be forthcoming. www.qwipster.net /modesty.htm   (531 words)

Amazon.ca: My Name Is Modesty: DVD: Scott Spiegel,Raymond Cruz,Fred Pearson,Valentin Teodosiu,Nikolaj ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) Regardless of its provenance, My Name is Modesty has all the markings of a movie that was rushed into production on a limited budget, and with a script that needed more than a little fine tuning. The payoff is a brief and unconvincing scene of hand-to-hand combat between Modesty and Niklos (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), her captor, and then the film's title is stated as a punchline, which is actually one of the few witty moments on offer. My Name is Modesty is intermittently watchable, but far too glum. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002L57XC/lecoindudvd-20   (463 words)

Last check: 2007-10-14) For those true Modesty Blaise fans who've waited almost 40 years for the definitive screen version, the wait continues because this is not it, though it's definitely a step up from Losey's travesty.

Alexandra Staden, who play's Modesty is obviously an accomplished actress as displayed in her subtle verbal exchanges with the heavies, but she is extremely white and so is not entirely believable as someone who has wandered the Middle-East and North Africa for a decade. www.amazon.fr /My-Name-Modesty-Scott-Spiegel/dp/B0001FAI8S   (1185 words)

DVDReview of Tarentino Presents MY NAME IS MODESTY As all of you know, director Quintin Tarentino is a rabid Modesty Blaise fan (not of the 1966 film, but of the original graphic novels written by it's creator, Peter O'Donnell) since he had John Travolta carry a Modesty Blaise book in PULP FICTION(1994) and Mr. Blaise's adventures, we all know that when Modesty was an orphan, that she was adopted by a rich Arab Shiek Abu Tahir who adopted her as a son no less and taught her the tricks of the trade and then she teams up with Willie Garvin. But in this film version, after Modesty is orphaned in a wartime flashback and tutored by a refugee professor who gives her the name of Modesty, then she is adopted by a Romanian casino owner and gangster who makes her the main bodyguard and madam/hostess of his casino. www.tarantino.info /forum/index.php?topic=1605.0   (711 words)

Amazon.com: My Name Is Modesty: DVD: Scott Spiegel,Alexandra Staden,Nikolaj Coster-Waldau,Raymond Cruz,Fred ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) It seems fans of the character of Modesty Blaise, created by author Peter O'Donnell, may finally have something worth their wait in this film, My Name Is Modesty: A Modesty Blaise Adventure (2003), produced by Quentin Tarantino. Alexandra Staden is clearly not the athelete Blaise is supposed to be -- for all her slenderness, her arms are flabby -- but she otherwise bears a striking physical resemblance, she carries herself well, and she does a good exotic accent. If this much care went into putting the Modesty Blaise that O'Donnell fans know and love into a rinky-dink video just made to preserve the producers' rights to the franchise, then we can have confidence that when they finally manage to make the big-budget one, it will be one the fans will love. www.amazon.com /My-Name-Modesty-Scott-Spiegel/dp/B0002L57XC   (2332 words)
