It had some pretty standard stuff in it, not very original but a good bit of entertainment.

I am very disapointed I didn't see any full frontal nudity from Elisha, what's the world coming to...

That is exactly what I said. After watching Old School , I thought that she would go the next level ....unfortunately did not !

I didnt bother with The Girl Next door because I knew they wouldnt show anything interesting - it wasnt an 18 so the most one could have hoped for would have been a bit of bouncy bouncy but I dont think there was that even.

I saw The Bourne Supremacy today - it's not really my sort of film but I saw the Bourne Identity so I wanted to see this - it wasnt bad, the storyline was interesting and there were some original moments, but the camerawork was just awful. I swear the cameraman had parkinsons, the camera jiggled about even on the straight shots, and the action scenes were just unfollowable with the camera jumping around so much. It was still good though, worth seeing if you saw the Bourne Identity, though if you haven't I would wait til it became available for rental as it's not the sort of film to watch over and over again.

I don't go to movies to see nudity although I have nothing against it (21 Grams ). I think Elisha Cuthbert was worth my money

Well, something tells me THe Girl Next Door wouldnt bowl me over with a great story line or superb acting :P The potential for nudity was about all it had going for it.

it was rated R which means over 17 or under but with parents. nobody goes to the next one which is N17 cause thats just for teh really hardcore movies showing explicit sex (the dreamers, irreversible, etc).
rated R was ok, and THERE WERE TITS IN IT

I loved the Bourne Supremacy. and yeah, the camera work has been talked a lot here cause it was shot with a digital handheld camera and lots of people had problems with it.
I didnt care for it, and the only scene in which it bothered me was in the fight in the house. other than that it was ok

Ah, I thought it must have been something like that. It really was very wobbly, even on the stills. But I agree, Bourne Supremacy was much better than the average action film.

Filming on digital handheld obviously was used to add more inteisity to the movie but there's a fine line where it either grips the audience or just puts people off watching because it gets annoying.
The only film/series where (digital) handheld was used and it worked 100% excellent is "24". A lot of scenes are shot on handheld to add intensity and it workes like a charm!

I am still to see 24, I will buy the boxed set soon I swear

I can see why they used handheld for the action sequences of The Bourne Supremacy, but it was very uncontrolled and in many cases made it quite hard to follow what was going on, it almost seemed like a cop out from doing proper action scenes, and the car chases actually left me with a headache - though that might have been cos my brother insisted on sitting 3 rows from the front - stupid bastard

 

[Hakeem]

Collateral was perfectly shot on a handheld digital camera too

 

[rony31]

I watched Bourne Supremacy and Collateral... Bourne Supremacy overdid the shaking, I couldnt see **** during the fight scenes... by the end I'd be like "ok, so how'd he knock him out?"

Collateral was ****in great, everything was filmed amazingly

 

[Vagegast]

"The Days" on ABC is shot on digital hand-held too. Hardly notice it.

 

[PhiLLer]

I defenitely want to see Collateral!

My thoughts exactly

I saw the trailer for Collateral the other day, it looked to me as if it could be good or could be sh!te, but from what you guys are saying I will go and see it for sure

 

[chatterbox]

The Bourne Supremacy was awesome ! I think it is the best movie I have seen along with LOT Return of the King and Spiderman 2......AWESOME>>>>>> I will be buying the DVD for sure so I can watch it over and over again.....great stuff indeed !

Have you only started watching films in the last year or something? If you think those are that good, you should watch some of the stuff on my favourite list, then go back and see how good they are.

Sounds awful

 

[Hakeem]

I liked 10 Things I Hate About You.

Julia Stiles acting is kinda not so good there, and it has a few stupid situations, but after all, its a teen comedy

 

[rpvankasteren]

It's kind of the first teen movie of the current generation. It's by far the best as well. Not so much the focus on sexuality, more friendship and deception. Far more interesting subjects.

 

[Callan]

I dislike teen movies genrally speaking.

Mission Imposible was on last night.... I hadn't seen that in so damn long.

 

[Sir Calumn]

I can't stand Teen Movies, sperm jokes, ha ha their funny My brother watches them and it drives me mad.

Mission Impossible 1 is a good film, so much better than MI2 which was a bit of a let down in my opinion. MI1 has an air of originality about it which many spy films lack.

Last night on Channel 4 they showed a film called The Score - it was excellent. Marlon Brando was in it, but not too good, the character he played was too normal, but Robert DeNiro was great as always and there was an absolutely stunning performace from an actor I'd never seen before called Edward Norton, I would like to see him in action in something else. Therefore, can anyone recommend be a good Edward Norton film? The Score had a very intriguing storyline and it was totally gripping in the second half, I am going to buy the DVD, I strongly recommend it to any fan of intelligent, well acted action/crime films.
