The Bourne Ultimatum 2007, PG-13)
A perfect ending to a brilliant trilogy. Film editing to ravel any movie. Action shots to the best. Second only to Pirates of the Caribbean in the trilogy lists. |

Predator 1987, R)
Best badly there is. The storyline is ropey at best the acting is not that great either and there's the odd 1 or 2 sfx mishaps but I love this movie. |
