Really good. The influence of the Bourne movies is clear throughout, so I think it will appeal to people that enjoyed them, not so much to the people that didn’t.
The girl with the unpronounceable name (Saoirse Ronan?) did well in the lead and was as convincing as a teenage assassin could be this side of Hit Girl. Some stand-out scenes, especially at the beginning. Eric Bana kicked ass. [/quote]
Nice. Ive heard good reviews for it. Probably be the next thing I see.[/quote]
Cool. I’m finding it hard to keep up with cinema releases at the moment. Hanna took priority over Priest because I’ve been waiting to see it for months. X-Men: First Class will be out soon so I’ve got a limited window of opportunity to see Priest. I’d like to support it because it isn’t Twilight, has a new-ish director and Paul Bettany is a good actor (just watch
Gangster Number 1 - the film that made his name).[/quote]
Ya although I wasnt overly pleased with Priest, I think Bettany makes a fantastic…well priest. He played his role well. I dont like Scott Stewart. So far his work doesnt appeal to me. But I can understand keeping up with the new releases. I generally keep up quite well but lately its been hectic.
Most vampire literature and movies ignore that, but it’s integral to what a vampire represents. The original Salem’s Lot miniseries, though dated, is the closest thing I’ve seen to capturing that feeling of dread and powerlessness in the face of seeing loved ones die but not staying dead.[/quote]
The scene where the wee boy comes back from the dead and scratches at David’s window will stay with me my whole life. Great series!
