60-second cinema

4 out of 10 Ant & Dec in a film. Hmmm. They still can’t act beyond 30-second parodies on ITV reality shows and their selling points were wasted on this. Throughout, this was pretty poor, but towards the end, I started to find the story quite interesting, hence the near-respectable rating. Just a shame it was lost in a crap film.

7 out of 10 John Cusack’s one of my favourite actors, but while this was entertaining enough, it didn’t stand out to the degree I’d been led to expect. Maybe that’s just because I wasn’t really expecting a rom-com. I’d simply heard the film was good, so I figured I’d watch it. Pity it ended rather weakly with the traditional happy ending, but it was still good for popcorn.

8 out of 10 I really like both of the Bourne movies. They’re like James Bond, but without the corn and cheese. And with amnesia. ‘Supremacy’ follows a remarkably similar path to the first film, but that doesn’t detract from it. Matt Damon suits the role really well too. I hope a third one’s in the making, but it’ll need to develop the character a bit more. You can’t write assassin-recovering-from-amnesia stories forever.
