As Before Sunset ended, Amber exclaimed “that’s it?” It is a good movie about 2 people who meet after 9 years. The whole movie is basically those two talking with Paris in the background. It is a sequel to Before Sunrise which tells the story of those two characters meeting for the first time in a train in Europe. The movies are good. However, they are too alike. It is probably not a good idea to see both together like we did. May be we should have waited 9 years to see the sequel.
The Bourne Supremacy is better than The Bourne Identity (opposite of the novels by Robert Ludlum.) The camera takes you in close and the action feels like you are part of it. The last chase scene is especially good. The plot is entirely different from the book but that is expected since Ludlum’s story was closely tied to the Cold War. I can’t really say if the books were better than the movies or vice versa since I read the books in high school a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Facing Windows is an Italian romantic movie about a married woman, the guy who lives in the apartment facing their window and an old guy with his Holocaust memories. It is a decent movie, much better than the regular Hollywood romantic fare.
I, Robot is not exactly Asimov’s work. If you drum that into your head before seeing it, you would enjoy the movie. There is, however, an interesting subversion of Asimov in the movie plot. Does anyone remember the zeroth law or R. Daneel Olivaw?
Yeah…i can see how the movies wouldn’t want to be seen together (the Before Sunset, Sunrise)… i still haven’t seen it but am anxious….
The Bourne Ultimatum
I have liked the Bourne trilogy since I read the books a long time ago. Finally I saw the last movie of the trilogy which, in my opinion, is the best movie of the series.
