The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
More Of The Same
Really why do people think this is a great film, I thought it was very average film. More of the same generic chase scenes and CIA room scenes it had headache inducing camera-work, so many cuts to different shots it must be a record, the acting was pretty lame especially Julia Stiles who was very wooden and only said about two things. Paddy Considine was fine but he usually is in all his roles but he was killed very quickly into the film so not much of a chance to show the good public on his acting abilities. Also I find it highly unlikely that when he got out of the police car after the tremendous crash he was fine, it took him a few seconds to get orientated, I thought that this was ludicrous.
The Secret Garden (1993)
Wonderful
I have heard of The Secret Garden, it is based on a book and there have been many adaptations of it, but this is probably the greatest, it is a tale about a girl from India who comes to stay at her uncle's mansion and discovers a secret garden and meets a sick child.
The acting is quite superb I think that they are all English actors and Maggie Smith is excellent as ever, but the real star is the little girl as she is very good, and the ending is the best I have ever seen, a really happy ending.
I am more into my comedy and action films but this is a real feel good film for all the family I gave it 10 out of 10.
The War Zone (1999)
Disturbing But Good
Well yes this film does portray a rather taboo subject, probably the first one I have seen with incest in. But my god this is a great film. All of the actors are incredible, Ray Winstone is a fine actor and so are the two children, the boy Tom is excellent, when he finds out what his dad is doing he is completely cold to him, what he does to him at the end of the movie is understandable.
This is a very gritty film quite slow as well but it needs to be I think to give a harsh account of the family. The scene of the actual incest will be very disturbing for some, their is quite a lot of nudity in this film from most of the actors, also there is a lot of swearing ad violence too.
I think this film is harrowing at first but after all things like this happen in real life and I think Tim Roth has done a great job of portraying a touchy subject to film.
