The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
Not nearly as well-done as The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Identity was a great, entertaining movie. On the other hand, The Bourne Supremacy was terrible. It was difficult to watch because of the constantly shifting and jerky photography. In the Bourne Identity, I felt like I knew Jason Bourne, and I felt empathy for his plight. His character emanated warmth and honesty, and I had a genuine feel for his situation. He was real. In the follow-up, the constantly rapid shifting of scenes, along with the high percentage of scenes that were too dark to see, and the jerky photography, made getting to feel the characters' plight impossible. I couldn't feel close to the characters because they didn't seem real to me. They were there one second and the next second they were gone. In a word, the movie was terrible. The direction was terrible. Don't waste your money.
Western Heritage (1948)
saw the film today (6-4-02)- positive comments
I love the old B&W Westerns, and this is one of the better ones. The plot is unusual for the genre, and the action is continuous. Tim Holt gets the girl at the end, and the bad guys are sent to prison. I would like to have seen the bad guys receive more punishment from Tim Holt and his crew. The main baddie, Harry Wood, was dropped by Tim with one punch. I would have preferred to see Mr. Wood suffer a more severe penalty than a simple knockdown. Seeing the bad guys receive their deserved comeuppance is the best part of the movie!
