The Movies

At the weekend I also saw a couple of films. I saw The Village and The Bourne Supremacy. They were both really good, earning 3 solid Tom Stars each.

I guessed The Village's twist with about 40 minutes to go, but that's not to say it wasn't quite a clever one. There's a couple of good bits of misdirection, including within the casting.

The Bourne Supremacy was pretty much as expected, a solid thriller that gets in about the action early on. Director Paul Greengrass has a nice touch for directing action. The fight scenes come across as more realistic than in your regular Hollywood picture. There's fights, car chases, double cross, quick witted spies, it feels very much a Cold War era thriller, with lots of running around in Moscow, Berlin and numerous other cities.

I'll be back at the flicks throughout the week. Stay tuned for more halfbaked reviews. For more and better film reviews get over to Ting.
