The Bourne Ultimatum - PG-13
|
|
I'll try to write a better review of this adrenalin rollercoaster when I've stopped trembling. Blends blinding action with a dash of subversive think-for-yourself philosophy. Stretches plausability on occasion but it;s so much fun you won't care. Some people have complained about the shaky cam shooting style- I felt that that just heightened the frenzied chaos of it all and made me pay closer attention. This is what all those pants Bond films should have been.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith - PG-13
|

War of the Roses for the post-therapy generation... Sparkling sense of fun between Jolie and Pitt. I really hadn't expected to like this one, but there's plenty going on under the hood- sharp dialogue and cheeky subtextual commentary. Classicly understated comedy moments like the Girl from Ipanema lift scene. Great fun, beautifully shot. Jolie looks like a christmas present waiting to be unwrapped.

A fabulously warm hearted and touching film. I first saw it on a date when I was fifteen and didn't get it at all- I found it dull at the time. Watching it again nearly twenty years on I realised how wrong I'd been- it really is a wonderful film, enhanced if you're familiar with certain UK stereotypes. Look out for Rose Tyler's mum from Doctor Who!

Terminator 2: Judgment Day - R
|
|
A masterclass in storytelling. Linda Hamilton is amazing as the trauma survivor of T1, reinvented as a relentless saviour of mankind regardless of the cost. Great exploration of masculine and feminine ideals versus their real truths. Favourite scene- Sarah Connors instant transformation from hard ass unstoppable force to jelly-legged whimpering wreck when confronted with what she thinks is her nemesis from T1

Brilliant piece on human nature, though I'm with the guy who said: "Malkovich is mesmerizing. But in what universe is the reward for seducing Uma Thurman and Michelle Pfeiffer getting to sleep with ... Glenn Close?! "
