Saw 'The Bourne Identity' and 'The Road To Perdition'.

I found Bourne to be rather dissapointing, but then I was under the naive impression that it was based on the book by the same title. Foolish, I know.
The music and the cinematography is pretty good, but I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone who has read and enjoyed the book. Otherwise good flick.

'The Road To Perdition' was fantastic. The score was perfect for the film and accentuated rather than detracted. Hanks was superb. On the downside, it was a tad predictable but not too much.

Next flick on my to see list is 'Reign Of Fire' (overheard someone misreading it as 'Raisin of Fire', husband corrected her and told her it was 'Reason of Fire'. Just found it rather amusing)

Hello guys, today I saw Scooby-doo instead of Ice Age (it was in Dutch ... grrr!!!) and Cool Runnings. They were both hilarious. Tears were rolling down my face just because I was laughing with Mystery Inc. and Sanka & C°.

Well I really liked the book (read it a half a dozen times) and, though I didn't do it on purpose, I was preoccpied with my expectations. I think it's my own fault that I didn't enjoy it. It was a good movie, it just wasn't anything like I was expecting and that kind of shadowed it for me. My sister loved it, though.

I hate it when that happens - no matter how good an adaptation is, they can never match the detail and perspective included in the book. And if the film-makers decide to alter something or leave apparently vital plotlines out of the story altogether, it can really ruin the film. On the other hand I have never been disappointed if I read the book after watching the movie.

I watched Road to Perdition this evening at the cineman - it was amazingly good, ever scene was very beautiful and the acting was (mostly) understated and very effective. Catch it if you can.

Dr. Strangelove is excellent! It really freaked me out when I was little - especially with "We'll meet again" playing over the climax.
