Well, for anyone who needs a helping hand in deciding what movies to go see, I'll help. My first review:
The Bourne Supremacy:
Awesome cast. Great script, even better plot. Horrible cinematography. The actual movie itself was stunning. Excellent car chase as well. No snazzy pimped out cars. Normal cars. The only real problem with this movie, is that the camera shakes in scenes that that could have been avoided in. When main actor Matt Damon, playing Jason Bourne, an ex-black ops assasin, is walking through a street the camera shakes. Near the end of the car chase it does more so as well, and makes it hard to see what's happening. Overall though, despite the camera problems, it's an action packed, vengeful masterpiece from the depths of a great author, so, go see it, become a black ops assasin, whatever. Next time: M. Night Shayamalan's The Village.. oooh...spooky.

*whispers* The camera shaking WAS a directorial choice. The director felt -- correctly, IMO -- that handheld cams made the action feel both more intimate and more immediate.

I usually am cool with the ol' shakey camera tricks but this one got me like "Blair Witch" did...felt queasy by end of it. Still liked it a lot. The story was a great continuation of the original and Bourne was as cool as always. A great cold war relic for a post-cold war world. Bond, eat your heart out.
