John Wick
Watched the first John Wick movie a couple of years ago. Came across it on Netflix while searching for Keanu Reaves. I hadn’t heard about it at the time but of course today it has become a well known franchise. This weekend chapter 4 came out in the cinema here and I decided to catch…

The Bourne Legacy
We watched The Bourne Legacy last week. It was the first movie we watched on our new tv. Every now and then there was a scene that was brilliantly detailed with vivid colours. It just adds extra pleasure to watching movies. This fourth movie in the Jason Bourne franchise doesn’t star Matt Damon as Jason…

Daredevil
Watched the Daredevil movie again recently. It came out 20 years ago in 2003 but visually it didn’t lose any of its flair and it doesn’t look 20 years old at all. It is more or less non stop action from start to finish so the story is a little thin and the character development…

The Bourne Ultimatum
The third Jason Bourne movie of the original trilogy. It picks up the story where we left it at the end of the Bourne Supremacy. It actually goes back a bit in time showing how Jason Bourne manages to escape in Russia after having visited the daughter of his first victim, Vladimir Nesky. When a…

No Time To Die
Yesterday I watched the latest James Bond instalment on tv with the kids. We had an unexpected free Saturday evening with everyone home and no early Sunday hockey appointments so we took the opportunity to watch this more than two and a half hour long movie. This is apparently the 25th JB movie and I…

Total Recall Double Bill Part 2
After watching the 1990 version with Arnold Schwarzenegger I also watched the remake from 2012 starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel. The immediately obvious difference is that the remake is visually technically far superior and makes the future look convincingly like the future and not some failed cardboard attempt. This obviously helps the…

Total Recall Double Bill Part 1
I recently watched the movie from 1990 with Arnold Schwarzenegger again. The real revelation then and still now is Sharon Stone. One moment she is the harmless, loving, young and innocent extremely good looking wife, the next one she is a ruthless killer, still extremely good looking but with all the innocence evaporated into thin…
