The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)

Bourne is once again brought out of hiding, this time inadvertently by London-based reporter Simon Ross who is trying to unveil Operation Blackbriar--an upgrade to Project Treadstone--in a series of newspaper columns. Bourne sets up a meeting with Ross and realizes instantly they're being scanned. Information from the reporter stirs a new set of memories, and Bourne must finally, ultimately, uncover his dark past whilst dodging The Company's best efforts in trying to eradicate him.

*Tagline: Remember everything. Forgive nothing.
*明明就看過這部電影,卻一點也想不起來在演什麼,最近轉HBO時,知道今天將有首播,剛好明兒個是颱風假,就跟Jason Bourne一起來恢復記憶囉!
*一開始和衛報記者碰頭的片段,緊湊且精彩,Jason Bourne利用電話帶著記者躲避幹員的追踪;真實世界上,真的有辦法做到如此的眼觀四面,耳聽八方嗎?
*Nicky Parsons在片中剪髮和染髮,讓我回想到第一集的Marie...
*反正就是欣賞打鬥啦!
*哇,在倫敦的Waterloo station和摩洛哥的Tangier,人潮都是真的路人耶,而非臨時演員,因為兩個景點都無法清空的緣故,甚至看得到路人對著鏡頭指指點點呢!
*Jason Bourne的最後一句台詞: Look at us. Look at what they make you give. 呼應第一集的The Professor (Clive Owen)臨死的最後一句話: Look at this. Look at what they make you give. 原來第一集有Clive Owen哦?是演些什麼東西啊?

No Country for Old Men (2007)

In rural Texas, welder and hunter Llewelyn Moss discovers the remains of several drug runners who have all killed each other in an exchange gone violently wrong. Rather than report the discovery to the police, Moss decides to simply take the two million dollars present for himself. This puts the psychopathic killer, Anton Chigurh, on his trail as he dispassionately murders nearly every rival, bystander and even employer in his pursuit of his quarry and the money. As Moss desperately attempts to keep one step ahead, the blood from this hunt begins to flow behind him with relentlessly growing intensity as Chigurh closes in. Meanwhile, the laconic Sherrif Ed Tom Bell blithely oversees the investigation even as he struggles to face the sheer enormity of the crimes he is attempting to thwart.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Tagline: One discovery can change your life. One mistake can destroy it.
*殺手Anton Chigurh破門而入的方法真特別.不過,也僅只於喇叭鎖吧,遇到鐵捲門或不繡鋼門就吃不開了.殺手使用的槍也是好大一把,加上其詭異的表情,笑容和"新潮"的髮型,散發出讓人不寒而慄的殺氣!
*在片中的三位主角:警長,拿錢的,殺手,完全沒有交手戲,也沒有同時出現在螢幕上,很不可思議吧!(拿錢的和殺手有在"電話"上交談,呵呵!)
*此片也得了許多大獎,包括2008年的最佳影片;Javier Bardem也因為此片,成為第一位西班牙的奧斯卡得主!
*Javier Bardem在2000年時,曾主演Before Night Falls,而提名最佳男主角,片中飾演古巴詩人兼小說家Reinaldo Arenas,還有Sean Penn呢!(我想這部應該蠻無聊的吧!)
*結尾結得有點莫名其妙!殺手就這樣逃之夭夭?拿錢的太太有被殺掉嗎?警長老是言不及義?只能各憑想像了...

21 (2008)

Ben Campbell is a young, highly intelligent, student at M.I.T. in Boston who strives to succeed. Wanting a scholarship to transfer to Harvard School of Medicine with the desire to become a doctor, Ben learns that he cannot afford the $300,000 for the four to five years of school since he comes from a poor, working-class background. But one evening, Ben is introduced by his unorthodox math professor Micky Rosa into a small but secretive club of five. Students Jill, Choi, Kianna, and Fisher, who are being trained by Professor Rosa of the skill of card counting at blackjack. Intriged by the desire to make money, Ben joins his new friends on secret weekend trips to Las Vegas where, using their skills of code talk and hand signals, they have Ben make hundreds of thousands of dollars in winning blackjack at casino after casino. Ben only wants to make enough money for the tuition to Harvard and then back out. But as fellow card counter, Jill Taylor, predicts, Ben becomes corrupted by greed and his arrogance at winning which lets his feelings get in the way, and it also puts Professor Rosa, as well as the group, on the radar of a brutal casino security enforcer, named Cole Williams, who holds a personal grudge of some kind against Rosa which threatens to undo everything the students have learned and earned.

*Tagline: Inspired by the true story of five students who changed the game forever.
*好久沒看電影了,最近忙得昏天暗地,都不知生活品質為何物了...
*人,總是很難克服自己的欲望,也是電影絕佳的素材之一,30萬已足夠唸書,為什麼還要繼續賭呢?呃...修個雙學位也不錯嘛!
*Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
