Quick Movie Reviews: Balls of Fury and the Bourne Ultimatum

I saw Balls of Fury last night at the Drafthouse. It was fun - I laughed through most of it, though it lagged a bit in the 3rd quarter. I wish they had done more with George Lopez - he was very funny with what he had to work with.

Sunday, I saw The Bourne Ultimatum. It is one of the most non-stop movies I’ve ever seen. There are no slow moving moments in this film until a brief moment towards the end. The action is well staged, there are great twists, turns, and surprises. My only critique would be that I could have used a little less shaky-cam in the action sequences. I think I noticed maybe two shots in the film that may have used a tripod. Everything else, including dialog was shot hand-held. I thought it was really effective in the dialog scenes, but less so in the action sequences where it was difficult at times to comprehend what was happening. Overall, I really enjoyed it.
