The Bourne Ultimatum

The Bourne Ultimatum, 4 out of 4 stars

Matt Damon stars in this best action thriller of the year, "The Bourne Ultimatum".

The Bourne Ultimatum, directed by Paul Greengrass who also directed "The Bourne Supremacy" in 2004. This film is the best action thriller of the year. Matt Damon did a great job in this movie. He's acting is improving from the 1st bourne film untill now. Besides that, the action sequences is very nice. I like it because it is all about intelligence, technology and stamina. This movie is adapted from the novel by Robert Ludlum with the same name. Eventhough the book is nice and the story is different from the movie (which is good for us), but the movie is still very entertaining.

In "The Bourne Supremacy", many critics have criticized for its shaky camera which some of the action sequences are difficult to see. In this movies there is also have many shaky camera. But for me i think it is good because all the director have their own style for example like director Michael Bay, his movie contain alot of shaky camera. His latest movie "Transformers", many audiences cannot figure out which robot are fighting which robot, some of the sequences are difficult to see because of shaky camera. In my opinion, this is a good "shooting" style. It is a work of art by a cutting-edge artist who is master of movement, light, color and shape, even explosion.

Overall: "The best action thriller of the year!"

National Treasure: Book Of Secrets

National Treasure: Book Of Secrets, 2.5 out of 4 star

Nicolas Cage, Justin Bartha and the director in the set of "National Treasure: Book Of Secrets".

National Treasure: Book Of Secrets which is the sequel to National Treasure (2004) directed by Jon Turteltaub. This movie is produce by Jerry Bruikheimer and it is very entertaining and funny especially Riley( Justin Bartha). The action nice and contain abit high concept sequences and it is more adventure and thrilling than the 1st one, more historical place for example United State Capitol, library of congress, Lincoln Memorial, and the most interesting is Mount Rushmore.

On the other hand, this movie is abit draggy eventhough it is funny. They should not waste the time by talking joke (which is some i think is "ok") and what is less is "excitement" the car chasing part is a good example. It is old fashioned car chase (which is good because didn't contain any CGI) but it is no excitement at all.

Way back into love....

Music and Lyrics, directed by Marc D. Lawrence who brought you "Two Week Notice" in 2002. The story line of the movie is very cute and nice and have a good plot too. Besides that the acting is nice especially Hugh Grant. He is the member of the pop group in the movie and from the start, the music video for "Pop goes my heart" is hilarious. Other than that, Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant make a perfect on screen couple. This movie is perfect for a date movie! Moreover, the lyrics content in the music is meaningful. You'll feel very comfortable when you listen to the music they sang.

Overall: "Excellent Valentines movie!", "A great romantic comedy film"

Even though the movie content good battle/action sequences, but this movie lack of story telling and the plot of this movie was going too slow.
