Jason Bourne 2016 came as an interesting revelation after the previous movies in the franchise. It is better welded in structure with a much simpler plot than any of Robert Ludlum's novels. As I remember, I don't recall Ludlum's plots in the previous releases. They were an amalgam of 100% action and violence without an explanatory motivation.

Some Thoughts on the 2016 Oscars Nominees
I should put this post in "Movies" category, but it's just a short essay about what I have in mind regarding to this year's 2016 Oscars nominees.

It is a ten on my list, and that's amazing because I'm not very fond of Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman or Matt Damon. They are all great and awarded, and they all participated to give value to the movie. Clint Eastwood uses some cheap emotional clichés in almost every movie, so they are classic by now. This movie is a masterpiece. It shows without … [Read more...]
