...Damon is Jason Bourne in the first of (currently) two films that follow the lead character's journey of self discovery after falling victim to amnesia and waking up with a bullet ridden body, an alarming propensity to easy violence and the access code to a Swiss safety deposit box. Without giving too much of the plot away, there are fights and chases (including a great car chase through Paris) and a bit of romance as Bourne tries to find out who ...
...kill him. The Bourne Identity is based on the first of 4 novels written by Robert Ludlum and featuring the exploits of Jason Bourne although it differs in many respects from the version on the printed page. However it was clearly a labour of love for director Doug Liman (who had previously directed Swingers and Go and has recently gone on to have a big hit with Mr and Mrs Smith) who formed a close relationship with the author during the making of ...

I got the Bourne Identity and the Bourne Supremacy DVD boxset the other day and I haven't watched the Bourne Supremacy yet but I did watch the Bourne Identity yesterday afternoon so I thought I'd post a hopefully fairly quick review on that, for anyone thinking about buying it as a catchup on the Bourne movies before going to see the new Bourne movie, the Bourne Ultimatum, in the cinema this month. **Story** *Slight warning - some of the details ...

Advantages: The audio is very good
Disadvantages: Video is very disappointing

...oscar for his role as the deputy and Harrison Ford is brilliant as Dr Kimble. It's a fast paced, intelligent film which keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. Unfortunately I was quite disappointed in this blue ray presentation. The picture quality is dull and the colours are not as crisp as I expected. Some of the darker scenes are impoved but still look a bit grainy, The audio is quite good and an improvement on the original dvd which ... Read review

Advantages: Enjoyable Nostalgia
Disadvantages: No Extras

...at the height of the Transformers popularity. If you grew up in the 80s and were a Transformers fan this film should bring back memories. When it was released in cinemas, critics dismissed the film as a feature-length toy advert. I think that's a bit unfair though. While it is clear that the main purpose of the film was to introduce a new wave of Transformer toys, the story is entertaining and the quality of the animation is impressive. The film ...
...Perhaps your enjoyment of the film depends on whether you were a small child who enjoyed the TV series and cared about the characters or not. Plus how can you not love the extremely 80s soundtrack? As for the DVD itself, the picture has been digitally remastered and displayed in widescreen format and the sound is presented in 5.1 Dolby digital. To my eyes the film has never looked or sounded better. The film was always intended to be screened in ... Read review
