Went a saw Bourne Ultimatum and thought it was excellent. The shakey camera gets on yer tits at times but on some of the fight scenes you feel almost involved in it.
The Bourne series of films are excellent and I'd recommend that anyone who hasn't seen them yet to have a look, you won't be disappointed.

Would agree with you in respect of the first two parts of the trilogy . I was however disappointed with the third part. I felt it lacked the intelligence of the first two films and that "the Bourne Ultimatum" was ultimately just another fast paced action movie (albeit a superior one). Perhaps I was spoiled by the excellence of the first two films and I will concede that maybe my expectations for the third film were perhaps a tad high but at no point in the film did I feel I had to engage my brain . However (to be fair) if a sit back and enjoy a full on chase/action movie laced with ersatz martial arts is your thing then this film does indeed fill the bill.

I can see your point woof, with the first two films I've had to watch them a few times just to fully figure out the links between all of the different people involved in the hunt for Bourne and his past (i.e. the links between the russians and Brian Cox's character ((forgotten his name at the mo.)) in Supremacy). I think the raeson that it may have been a bit more straight forward in Ultimatum is the fact that Bourne has inched closer to the real truth of who he really is. Still an excellent film though and Bourne is still shitting allover Bond (not literally though).

Fair point and not something i'd considered . eg. the closer a bob sleigh gets to the finish the faster it goes. Still think however they missed out on the opportunity of making a really "intelligent" action film.

Watched "Knocked Up" the other day, one of the funiest films I've seen in years.

It also helps that the chick from Grey's Anatomy is fitter than a butcher's dog. :love:

Watched The Condemned the other night with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Vinny Jones, was ok but not great. Seemed a bit rushed to me.

I went to watch the 'Rise of the foot solider' was quite good very violent and graphic. Would have been betta if it was more bout the Essex boys triple murder

Was good tho as we were the only two people in that screen :;):

Could there be a more damning review than that?

I wasnt keen on that, almost three hours or whatever of total boredom, and to top it off no conclusion.

If you want a intelligent film rent out ‘The Prestige’. Really good film with Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Michael Cain and the lovely Scarlet Johnson. David Bowie even makes an appearance.

From the director of ‘Memento’, which is also another clever film.

Does anybody have a link for the Dutch film "Black Book" that includes English subtitles ?

I've been meaning to watch this, supposed to be Paul Verheoven's best film (not that that would be hard).

I bought some cheap DVDs the other day: the Goonies is still a class film, 20 years on since I last watched it.

"Heh, you guys!".
