The Bourne Ultimatum (2008)
Directed by: Paul Greengrass
Starring: Matt Damon, Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn
Synopsis: All he wanted was to disappear. Instead, Jason Bourne is now hunted by the people who made him what he is. Having lost his memory and the one person he loved, he is undeterred by the barrage of bullets and a new generation of highly-trained killers. Bourne has only one objective: to go back to the beginning and find out who he was. Now, in the new chapter of this espionage series, Bourne will hunt down his past in order to find a future. He must travel from Moscow, Paris and London to Tangier and New York City as he continues his quest to find the real Jason Bourne—all the while trying to outmaneuver the scores of cops, federal officers and Interpol agents with him in their crosshairs.
WoW, a shorter synopsis. Where to start.. My midn is completly blank, literally. The story is so fucking great. The way they pieced togehter the second and third, is beyond genius level, immortal maybe. All questions will be answered. All bits and pieces fall in place. I'd have to take my statements back, because all three movies were needed, to but together such a masterpiece. Compared to the first movies, this one has a lot more action going on for it. But at the same time they don't forget about the storyline itself. Fighting, action and all those running and escaping scenes, amazing. He's like fucking Houdini, catch me if you can. There's just so many good things to say about this movie and the entire trilogy. The screenwriter had to be high or something to come up with this idea. Enough babbling. Final Verdict?? WATCH THE ENTIRE TRILOGY!! and that's it!

The Bourne Supremacy
The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
Directed by: Paul Greengrass
Starring: Matt Damon, Franka Potente, brian Cox, Julia Stiles
Synopsis: Two years ago, Jason Bourne thought he had walked away from his past. But now, his past is about to return. Bourne and Marie have maintained their anonymous, underground existence at the cost of permanence. Fueled by splintered nightmares and haunted by the past he cannot remember, Bourne moves Marie from city to city, trying to remain one step ahead of the threat implicit in every unexplained stranger's glance, every "wrong number" phone call -- that at any second, without any warning, he might get pulled back into the world he hopes he left behind. When an operative appears in the sleepy village that has been their latest home, Bourne and Marie collapse their lives and head out. His past at the door, their only chance now is to run. But once a line is crossed and the stakes in a new global game of cat-and-mouse are raised, the Jason Bourne created by Treadstone -- the covert, now dismantled operation that spawned cold-blooded, professional assassins -- returns. Two years ago, Bourne walked away from the deadly world that created him with a promise of retaliation should anyone attempt contact. Now that that world has indeed come calling, Bourne intends to keep his word. They should have left him alone.
Another rather long synopsis. Hmm.. where to start off?? In the beginning, I was relly hoping for that it won't end up being a revenge story. It kinda did, but it kinda didn't. And that's what makes this movie worth to watch. The first half - more talkative then the first movie and less action. The second half - almost all action, but with important plot twists and takes. I stated that they weren't planning on making a sequal and guess what?? I was right. Well obvious was that it was directed by a different person, but I kinda missed that at first. The thing that gave it away for me was that the first movie ended perfectly, with no questions rised. And the second movie made new questions, on top of the first ones. Like a building of some sorts. What I'm trying to say is that, the story is great again and I'd sails rather smoothly. New problem and a new way to solve it you might say. Ends kinda happy like the first, so we will see what happens in the highly anticipated third movie that got really high ratings and is renounced on of the best movies. Final Verdict?? You wathced the first and enjoyed it. Then you will deffinitely enjoy this. You watched the first and dind't like it. Then you might like or hate the second. Watch 'em to understand. ;)

The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Identity (2002)
Directed by: Doug Liman
Starring: Matt Damon, Franka Potente, Clive Owen, Chris Cooper
Synopsis: The spy thriller opens as an amnesiac is rescued at sea by the crew of an Italian fishing boat. Nearly dead, he carries nothing but the bullets in his back and the bank account number embedded in his hip. Although completely without identity or background, he possesses an array of extraordinary talents in fighting, linguistics and self-defense that speaks of a dangerous past. In the present he is disoriented and wary as he is propelled into an urgent search to discover who he is and why his life has taken a perilous turn. A Zurich safe deposit box yields an assortment of passports, a hefty load of cash, an automatic weapon and a name--Jason Bourne--with a Paris address. What it means remains a mystery, but Bourne quickly realizes that although he knows no one, there are people who recognize him--and do not wish him well. When he meets Marie Kreutz, a hard-luck German-born wanderer, he makes a desperate pitch--$10,000 for a ride to Paris. Despite her reservations, Marie takes the cash and begins a journey with Bourne that changes her life forever. The trail of Jason Bourne's past snakes from Europe to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where Treadstone, a clandestine operation is based. As Bourne and Marie struggle to stay below the radar in France, all of the stealthy muscle of Treadstone is focused on tracking them and neutralizing Bourne as quickly and efficiently as possible.
A rather long and thorough synopsis this time. Why not, less for me to right I guess. So, this is the first movie, from the Bourne trilogy. (I will do the other two also as fast as possible) Where to start? I've seen it a couple of times bout now and it still amuses me. It has good action and fighting scenes, the plot is good and story it self delevopes pretty nicely. The ending is this usual good ending, beacuase I don't think, they were going to make two sequals. They wraped it up pretty nicely. I adored the music, it was perfect and enjoyable. Final Verdict?? Sure, watch it. James Bond in amnesia a bit, but rather entertaining.

Reservoir Dogs
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
Starring: Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Michael Madsen, Chris Penn, Lawrence Tierney
Synopsis: Six unacquainted professional criminals are brought together by a veteran thief to execute an intricately planned diamond robbery.
My first Tarantino review. I'm excited, like a little kid on Xmas eve. I'd start with the first movie, the one that made him a star. Mr. Blone, Mr. Pink, Mr. White, Mr. Orange, Mr. Blue and Mr. Brown. They were supposed to be the team to the perect hiest, but things got complicated. The movie starts with a nice little breakfast scene, where you get acquaintanced with all the main characters. They are in a series of kinda absurd discussions. That being one of the best things. Those talks, those phrases, those little chats are what makes it so damn brilliant. About the ending, well... You'll get the (non)usual Tarantino ending, what will always blow your mind, like theirs. One of the best movies of all time and it's also my favourite director. Double the fun. Final Verdict?? If you haven't seen it already, then that's your problem. Everybody else - good job you guys, I love you!
Sorry if some parts were a bit hard to understand, but it's 8 am; I'm tired as fuck and it's my favourite director. You got to give a guy a little credit.

Batman: Under The Red Hood
Batman: Under The Red Hood (2010)
Directed by: Brandon Vietti
Starring: Bruce Greenwood, Jensen Ackles, Neil Patrick Harris, John Dimaggio
Synopsis: While the is crime running free in Gotham and Batman trying to stop it all a new challenger appears. Named the Red Hood.
So I'll start off by stating two things. First: this is the first time I wrote the synopsis, beacause I usually take it from RT. Second: this is an animation, period. Now.. Where to start? It's nothing like the usual cartoons you see or Japanese style animations. It's a lot deeper and more sophisticated. It starts off with a pretty deep introduction. When the story goes on, it gets better and better. The mysterys reveal and everything becomes clear. Even if you aren't a hardcore Batman fan, you'll understand almost everything, because they nicely explain it along the ride. I don't know what else to say, I really had great movie experience watching this. Final verdict?? So will you!!

Se7en
Se7en (1995)
Directed by: David Fincher
Starring: Morgan Freeman, Brad pitt, Kevin Spacey, Gwyneth Paltrow, R. Lee Ermey, Richard Roundtree
Synopsis: Police drama about two cops, one new and one about to retire, tracking a serial killer using the seven deadly sins as his motive.
Oh damn.. Did a double tap on se7en and I still fucking loved it. Loved it a lot. With an allstar cast like this, there's only two changes - hit or miss. And what a hit this is. It will hit you in the gut and it wont stop there. The story smoothly sales to the ending, but you'll probably never figure out how's it really going to end. A complete shit shocker. The acting, it's also fantastic. Another great thing. There's just so many things I love in it. A bit gory for some maybe, the only set back for people with bad digesting. Sorry, but it is needed in a movie like this. Final Verdict?? BUY THE GODDAMN DVD or blue-ray!

Eurotrip (2004)
Directed by: Jeff Schaffer, Alec Berg
Starring: Scott Mechlowicz, Jacob Pitts, Michelle Trachtenberg, Travis Wester
Synopsis: Dumped by his girlfriend, a high school grad decides to embark on an overseas adventure in Europe with his friends.
A movie all have seen and I can honestly say I've seen it atleast 7 times and this is going to be the 8, because it's also on TV. So what to say about it? It's a idiotic teen comedy and that's why you will love it. Stupid jokes, stupid trips, good young actors acting stupid, everythings so stupid and that's so-so-so perfect. Scotty doesn't know song by Lustra, that's one of THE BEST!! Also one of my top10 movies. Final verdict?? If you haven't seen it then quickly, do it.
