Film 314/365, Day 335/365 – Titan A.E.

Fantastic animation, an excellent soundtrack and very good story.  The animation is an excellent mix of computer generated and traditional animation.  The story is fascinating although didn’t quite make full use of its potential but was still very entertaining.  The real star of this show is the mix of animation and music which makes for some excellent scenes.

Synopsis:  The Earth has been destroyed by an alien race leaving what is left of humanity scattered across the universe without a home.  There is however one last hope for humanity a mysterious spaceship, The Titan, that has been hidden somewhere in the galaxy and one person holds the key to finding it.

Film 221/365, Day 238/365 – The Adjustment Bureau

More than just your average Hollywood action film.  Based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, The Adjustment Bureau adds some interesting ideas, an enjoyable story and a touch of romance.  It wasn’t exactly anything new, however it may well have been when Philip K. Dick wrote it, but was still very enjoyable.

Synopsis:  Having just lost the election for state senator David Norris meets a lady who quite literally turns his world upside down.  She leaves in a hurry without leaving him any details.  Days later they meet again on the bus, but soon David discovers that there are strange forces trying to keep them apart.

Film 102/365, Day 107/365 – The Bourne Ultimatum

Another fast paced action thriller.  Following on immediately after the last film this is the third part in the Bourne story, will there be another?  I hope so but only if the story is right.  It’s like James Bond hold the cheese!  Best to watch this after the first two as the three work together very much as one story.  So go, go and watch them all.

Synopsis: Jason Bourne is still trying to regain his memories and find out how he became who he is.  The CIA are a little less keen for him to remember and will stop at nothing to make him go away… permanently.  Will Jason finally get to the bottom of things?  Will he ever remember?

Film 93/365, Day 100/365 – The Bourne Supremacy

It kicks off not long after the first film and doesn’t hold back on the action or intrigue.  Matt Damon once again is excellent in the role of Jason Bourne and the cinematography is fantastic showing us enough of what Bourne is going through without laying it on a plate for us.  Also there is a brilliant car chase towards the end to look forward too.  As good as the first Bourne film.

Synopsis: Jason Bourne still hasn’t recovered his memory but is happy travelling the world with his girlfriend Marie.  But then he is framed for a double murder and then if that’s not enough they try to kill him but kill Marie instead.  So now, as you’d imagine, he is really pissed off and will stop at nothing to get some answers.

Film 92/365, Day 99/365 – The Bourne Identity

Plenty of action and intrigue from start to finish and beyond.  Matt Damon is excellent as Jason Bourne.  The film has such a brilliant feel of realism throughout, even in the fight scenes and especially the absence of dialog when other films would try to fill the silence.  Great start to the Bourne films.

Synopsis: A man is found at sea by a fishing trawler.  He has no memory of who he is and how he got there.  The only link to his past is a small implant that has a bank name and account number, in Switzerland.  Soon he will discover that whoever put him in the sea will want him to stay there.
