Cinema ...

This evening we've been to the cinema. Actually it was the first time to watch a movie in theater since I'm in the states. We decided to watch "The Bourne Ultimatum" with Matt Damon. It's actually the third part of the Bourne-films. It's were everything resolves and we get to know what's behinde the whole Bourne conspiracy. The resolution was not that bad, I have to admit.

The only thing I really have to criticize is this new trend in Hollywood when it comes to camera work. Some directors and their DoPs (Director of Photography) have the urge to add realism to their movie by using a documentary-like camera work. We know this from films like "Miami Vice", where Michael Man used it quite good. At the Bourne Ultimatum, it was used to much as I think with all the handheld camera and the zoom-ins and zoom-outs. It's getting really exhausting and distracting after some time.

There was one thing which surprised me a bit. I was sitting in an american movie theater, expecting to watch an american action movie and after 10 minutes or so german actor Daniel Bruehl appears on the screen. It was quite strange, because I didn't expect someone like him to be in such a movie, but why not. He just played a quite short part in the movie, but he did his job good, even with the english! Hehe

So all in all, it was quite a action-loaded movie, with a bit of hidden american heroism. Anyhows, it was entertaining with some nice staged scenes.

By the way - at the beginning, they screened some trailers. One struck me pretty much. It's the new movie from "Saw" director James Wan (Saw 1). It's name is "Death Sentence". If you are interessted in the trailer, just click the play button an enjoy it! ;)
