By the way, Beautiful Mind is a good movie. More like 4.5 out 5 to me.

You know what? You're right, Ive been willing to overlook this and overwrite the grade to a 4. I just loved the storyline and the way the story had been set. I mean such an unexpected turn in the middle. I wasnt expecting such a turn from it. I would definately recommend to you all to watch it.

A beautiful mind is simply beautiful.

When I started watching Bourne Ultimatum at the theatre today, I was totally lost. I was absolutely blank... couldnt remember anything about what happened in Bourne Supremacy.

All I remembered was that it wasnt as good as Bourne Identity, and that Franka Potente's character was killed off in a shooting. (I didnt even remember that apparently this was in India)

So for the past hour and half I've been watching Bourne Supremacy again, and egads, I must say - I really enjoyed it, and appreciate it EVEN MORE now after watching Ultimatum. They tied Ultimatum in with it all just too damn well!!

Bourne Trilogy...... atw!!

Just watched The Illusionist. Let me just tell you, this movie was awesome. I would give it 4 out of 5. It is truly one of those movies where you would just go and then come back feeling dazzled by it. It had every element to make it one of those movies that you would just say "I wish more movies were like these".

None of the others beats Silence of the Lambs. I didnt like Hannibal all that much as a movie, but I *really liked* Red Dragon. Nice way to make a prequel to Silence. Ralph Fiennes was just superb.

btw, Jodie Foster makes the best Clarice Starling. Julianne Moore was not a good replacement.

I saw Rush Hour 3 today. It was OK but not as good as the first 2.

One of mine too. John Cho was my employee in a place I owned in Berkeley. Just seen "Ultimatum". I still like "Supremacy" in terms of filmmaking, and "Identity" in terms of the story.

H&K make me wanna go to white castle. Looking forward to the second one.

Watching "Goal II: Living the Dream" at the moment. Some of the moves are unreal - you just can't barge into defenders like that in real life.

About Rush Hour 3, well, one could draw an analogy with Ocean's Thirteen here - not a great story, but humour all the way - typical of directors running out of ideas after having extended the same movie thrice. Not that I didn't like watching either, though.

tonoy · #**299** August 20, 2007, 09:16 AM

I cant wait for H&K I love the first one and seems that the second one will not dissapoint either.

Agree about "Thirteen" ... fomulaic but entertaining. Definitely better than "Twelve", although the Julia plays Julia thing was funny.
