Ultimate Bourne

It has been an awesome week movie-wise for me. On Monday I saw Sunshine which rocked. Wednesday was the Superbad advance screening-laughed my kidney out. Then I saw the midnight showing of The Bourne Ultimatum. In a word-awesome!! This is the definitive action movie of the year!! Smart dialogue. Fight scenes that made my teeth hurt. Did you say chases? Oh yeah! There are chases. Foot chases, scooter chases, motorcycle chases, police car chases. All of them bad ass!! I bet a chase between two guys on crutches would have been exciting in this movie.

The only thing that sucked about the whole experience was the presentation. I saw it at the Regal Cinemas downtown. As soon as the lights went down, they went back up. After 10 minutes of people pitching a mad fit, the manager comes out and tells everyone that they have to replace the projector bulb. After another 10 minutes the lights go down and the trailers start. However, I notice in the bottom right corner of the screen, these white dots. So, I'm thinking "what the hell are those dots?" Then the dots grow bigger and bigger until they take up the whole screen. Then the film melts away. Just like the fake melt away Grindhouse, except for real. It was crazy!! Of course the lights go back up again and there's more people pissed off. I thought for sure it was going to be forever before they could splice the film back together, but amazingly they had the film showing again in a couple of minutes. The only good thing about the whole mess was that the management gave out readmission tickets when the movie was over. So, I basically saw the movie for free. But I would definitely fork over more scratch to see this movie again and you should too!!
