2 movies to give my 2 cents' worth! Caught The Bourne Ultimatum with A07/08 (uni class) last Sunday and Brave Story with GY and Law today...
1. Bourne Ultimatum
The final of the trilogy about Jason Bourne, a government assassin who's trying to find his lost memories and getting them back at any cost... He's cool, slick and very clever, outwitting everybody in the CIA. Heh~
Liked the part when he lures the chief out of his office and the chief tries to lie to Bourne over the phone that he's in the office. Bourne says "I doubt so. If not you and I would be having this conversation face-to-face right now." Hysteria among the CIA ensues. Classic.
Overall not too bad a movie, some scenes are really draggy... but it does round up the story nicely and there could be a sequel? DN commented that the movie could be watched as a single movie without watching the first 2 Bourne series cos it introduces the first 2 in a nutshell. =)
2. Brave Story
2 thumbs up for the movie! Good decent storyline, not too draggy, sits well with fantasy fans. It's almost like a RPG (role playting game), even has a good guy gone bad. Wow~
It's about this boy, called Wataru, who's facing some troubles at home. Father left the family and Mom landed in hospital. He befriends a nonchalant guy called Mitsuru who unleashes some kind of magic to scare some bullies away for Wataru. Mitsuru asks him to enter a certain doorway to another world where he can change his destiny, i.e. get his broken family back. Ends up meeting new people and embarking on a quest to find 5 different gems to get his wish come true.
The whole show's in Japanese but the transalation's decent enough. Nice graphics and soundtrack add icing on the cake~ It's ending its run soon so better catch it quick at any Cathay cineplexes (cos they're only showing that) before it's too late!
Cheers!
