I woulda given it three and a half stars, but there's no option for that.

Quantum of Solace (2008)

Old Dr. No film + a few rip offs of storyline and shot techniques from The Bourne Ultimatum = mild entertainment. The end.

True Romance (1993)

Unforgetable action flick with witty one-liners and an unlikely marriage. Several big-name actors before hitting it big, with each one putting on a great show. Highly recommended. Tarantino shining on.

Burnt By The Sun: A Beautiful Film

Burnt by the Sun (1994)

I watched this movie in one of my Russian language classes a few months ago. It's definitely a drama with love, envy, regret, and honor all playing key roles in it. It's so amazing how Kotov has a positive outlook on life the whole way through, considering his situation. And the ending is one I'll never forget. If you're a fan of foreign films, this isn't one to miss.

Mercury Rising (1998)

One of my favorite scenes was the one in the wine cellar. Classic Bruce. It was also good to see the FBI again overpowering a "higher" organization like the NSA.

However, like the All Movie Guide review, I'd say this story does have some holes in it, which I wouldn't want to spoil. But overall, it was worth watching.

I'll probably never watch this again.

Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)

Good: Lightly entertaining, perhaps? The tiger in the back seat was genius! That's about it.

Bad: The ending chase scene took up seemingly half of the film and was unrealistic with a million cop cars destroyed for one stang they couldn't halt. Horrible acting by most all cast members. Voice-oversdidn't always match, as well. The list goes on...
