The Dark Knight Rises - 6.9/10
Still a good film, just lacked the intensity of the previous two. The fight scenes between Batman and Bane looked debilitated. For a superhero film, however, the backdrop does provide realism.
The Bourne Legacy - 6.9/10
Same thing here. The original Bourne series was fantastic. Great suspense and action. Well choreographed in almost every sense. This film, although still well executed, seemed to be a watered down version of the original. And it drew more questions than it answered. A shame that Matt Damon allegedly stated that he would not partake in further Bourne sequels.
Grosse Pointe Blank - 7/10
This film is just good. Watch it if you haven't.
Total Recall - 5/10
Mindless action. Although the CGI future looked quite good. By that I mean it was a significant improvement over the Star Wars trilogy. The plot was similar to the original with minor tweaks in a vain attempt to induce originality. Another drawback was the omission of the clever and witty dialogue that brought character to the original. The films superlative attribute was the lead antagonist. Kate Beckinsale looks fantastic. So much so that every time she was in a scene I wanted to fuck my television. She has the ability to maintain her looks through every explosion, gun battle and hand to hand combat sequence, not once smearing her lipstick or messing up her hair. There is no part of that woman I would not attach my tongue to.
