Who is Jason Bourne

Advantages: the plot, music, camera work, non stop action (Bourne Style)
Disadvantages: some people may not like plot jumping from present day to th past.

...I got my hands on the third Bourne movie THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM, and being a follower of the first two movies this was a must. I am a great fan of these films that are a bit deep and this is just that. The bourne films are based on true events where by the C.I.A brainwashed people to see if the could make them into assasins in a test they conducted some year ago. The thing that really strikes me about this film is three things -Matt Damon -The camera ...

The camera is really dramatic almost like a passer by is filming it its all over the place but at the same time captures everything the only film where this kind of style hasn't anoyed me. and the music is still the same Jason Bourne theme from the previous two but the ending credits now finish with a modified version of Extreme Ways by Moby. fans of the previous Bourne will love this and ...

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (DVD)

King Kong Movie Review

Advantages: lots of action
Disadvantages: too long and King Kong arrives after a while when the film begins.

...appearance of the massive beast, King Kong and I think it was totally useless to wait this long for the monster. A film is usually 1 hour and 30 minutes long but this movie had introduced King Kong like as if a movie had already ended. To be honest, a 2 hour film would be enough to watch but will viewers watch it film over 3 hours? I feel very sorry for the ones who watched it at the cinema! Nevertheless, I was thrilled at some points of the movie ...
...However, one thing that touched me about the film was when King Kong had shown love towards the women. It is like a relationship was evolving between them and at the end, I nearly went into tears after seeing the King Kong die after saving the women's life several times. ...
