...came to pass in the reign of Simon the King, that the Pierians did meet in the tabernacle. And lo! A voice was heard saying, Let us go serenading and they lifted up their voice as one man and they said, Let us go. And behold we went to the city of the Philistines, and did serenade their daughters, and came home about the third hour. And the fame of the Pierians did wax exceedingly great, and did reach all the places round about Cambridge.”The evening revelry so irritated the University administration that the group...

If Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down was the all-war war movie - nearly two hours of nonstop battles - The Bourne Ultimatum is the all-action action movie. A pounding of the eyes and ears (John Powell's score...
...dramatic peak, but never found it—not because of a lack of drama, but because the drama is perpetually full-blast. I thought that the play had climaxed when Nicholas attempted to strangle Forbess in a grippingly violent scene. But a half hour later, and lo and behold, there is another strangulation attempt. So, perhaps the blame for the constant intensity lies with the script...
