The Bourne Ultimatum

Hehehe. Sorry, that was me giggling from the over amazed effect I have been suffering lately from these films.Okay, here's the synopsis from imdb :


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.

Absolutely fantastic! :D Edge-of-your-seat chase scene, tear wrenching flashbacks, and nail-biting fights. The acting from Matt Damon, Joan Allen, Julia Stiles, and David Strathairn is beautiful.
And it was so neat how they did the pacing and camera work. I just loved it, I was hooked from beginning to end.
Content : A lot of uses of God's name in vain (including Jesus Christ, and Godd*mmit) and one or two s-words, but no f-words. 4/10
The violence was pretty strong, especially one part that was disturbing and slightly startling, then another part when a man is snipped and you see, from a distance, a mist of blood, and later a pool underneath his head. There are intense car chases, then one fight scene that could be disturbing, resulting in someone dying. And the flash backs were fairly disturbing. 6/10 for violence, 7/10 for disturbing content.
Sexual junk: one flashback scene with rather passionate kissing. That's all. 2/10
....
I seriously love this trilogy. There is just a feeling to them that gives you chills (and sometimes not in a good way) that it's just so amazing. And the score is so neat. So I give The Bourne Ultimatum 5/5, and
the overall trilogy 10/5. Age recommendation. Mature 13 and up. There was some serious stuff in there.

P.S.  Keep a look out for a review in August for The Bourne Legacy. I am so stoked!!

The Bourne Supremacy

Hey hey hey!!! So I know my blog title contains"book-corner", but I am in the middle of "The Three Musketeers", so I don't have very much to review (yet.). And yes, here is another movie review for The Bourne Supremacy, sequel to The Bourne Identity. Here's the synopsis from IMDB (mild spoiler alert) :

After escaping from the emotional and physical pain he previously encountered. Jason Bourne and his girlfriend Marie begin a new life as far away as possible. But when an assassination attempt on Bourne goes horribly wrong, Bourne must re-enter the life he wanted to leave behind, in order to find out the truth why they are still after him. 

OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH.
This was so amazing. Seriously, I liked a lot better than the 1st. There was a ton more action and about a billion trillion times sadder. And less language and no sexual content (unless you count a kiss) whatsoever. Again, Matt Damon is so stinkin awesome!! :) He is such an amazing and talented actor, I hope he decides to come back to the role (fingers crossed). Joan Allen, who plays Pamela Landy (um, what's the proper term... ?? you'll find out) was also, so good, I'm happy she's in Ultimatum(#3).
The violence was.... violent :) Yes, but mostly the same as the 1st( guns and hand fights, plus some explosions. And more blood at one point). And the chase scenes were amazing!!
Language there was, less than than the first, but there was 1 F-word (I barely caught it, so you may, or may not), and a lot of Godd**nit's (uses of God's name in vain) and maybe an S-word or two...
But it was so incredible. You must see it!
Until next time - J.A.M.

The Bourne Identity

 Hi!!!
I love this movie SOOOOO MUCH!! All of my family had seen it (my sisters LOVE the trilogy), and I watched last week, and I have fallen under the spell. Here's a synopsis I pulled from Amazon, which is extremely brief, but still better than IMDB.

Pulled from the sea with two bullets in his back, Jason Bourne discovers he has the skills of a very dangerous man and no memory of his violent past. Racing to unlock the secret of his own identity, he discovers the deadly truth: he is an elite government agent.

First off : Matt Damon (Jason Bourne) is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! (And he is also a very fast runner- see my review for Mission Impossible to get this).  So this movie is pretty violent, (mild(!) spoiler) when Jason is fighting a man with a knife, he uses a pencil as a defense; and it's slightly gross. Yeah, basically, I closed my eyes. There is a lot of hand combat (but it is so stinkin' awesome!!!!!), and some guns, etc, etc..

Now to Marie (Franka Potente) : Well, how would you react to a man giving you 20,000 grand, when you literally have no money, to drive him to Paris. And on the way, you find out he's an assassin. I personally, would probably.... freak. Definitely. But she, Marie, when Jason tells her she has her chance to get out of the car and go to the police and start fresh, (and this after watching him almost kill a like-wise trained man in self-defense), she reaches over, and fastens her seat belt. I love her. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

And, finally, the "bad guy", Conklin (Chris Cooper) : Good acting, and a really cool "bad" guy (because he isn't necessarily bad, just government). But I was happy about what happens to him in the end. I'm so evil. :)
Okay then the content : Aforesaid violence - 7/10. and sex/nudity? There was a scene that my sister skipped, but they only kiss passionately(don't ask how I know that), and that's all (unless you count the alternate ending, where they kiss pretty passionately). overall, 3/10 (I think). Then profanities there were; 2 uses of the F-bomb (one was muttered-so mouthed, basically) and I only caught it because I was watching his mouth, then a handful of sh*t, d*nm, and quite a few of God's name in vain. so 6/10.
And, like at the top, I loved it, and I really think an appropriate age to see it would be, if you're mature, 13, or 14. Total rating : 9/10 stars of awesomeness.

MI: GHOST PROTOCCAL

In the 4th installment of the Mission Impossible series, Ethan Hunt and his team are racing against time to track down a dangerous terrorist named Hendricks, who has gained access to Russian nuclear launch codes and is planning a strike on the United States. An attempt by the team to stop him at the Kremlin ends in a disaster, with an explosion causing severe destruction to the Kremlin and the IMF being implicated in the bombing, forcing the President to invoke Ghost Protocol, under which the IMF is disavowed, and will be offered no help or backup in any form. Undaunted, Ethan and his team chase Hendricks to Dubai, and from there to Mumbai, but several spectacular action sequences later, they might still be too late to stop a disaster. (from IMDB)

Hey dears,
Well I have to say one thing about this movie.
Tom. Cruise. Can. Sprint. FAST. I'm just like, if anything could inspire me to run, it would be like,
Hey, maybe one day I'll be able to like Tom Cruise did! Sure, like that is ever going to happen. :P
Okay, well I really enjoyed myself. It was an edge-of-your-seat type movie (like the whole time), and for the most part, it had a  believably realistic feeling. But for the other part.... slightly cheesy.
In cheesy, I mean driving a car off 4 stories, landing straight down, and even though the air bags did go off, still.... he should have had a completely busted face. (There were a few cuts, but I mean, like completely smashed in nose, black eyes, etc..) Sorry. That was my realistic side ranting out for justice.
But besides that one part, I was cool. It was fairly violent, a lot of it being hand-to-hand fights, and guns. There was one slightly suggestive part, when Jane (YES!my name!) has to "seduce" a certain bad guy(and she's wearing a pretty exposing evening gown), and a part when Ethan kisses Jane.
There was one use of sh*t, and several uses of God's name (including Jesus).
One part, (it's in the trailer) when Ethan has to climb up the side of a building (up to the 130 floor).
I swear, it was so nerve racking :D I mean, you know of course there is NO possible way that he was going to die. But still...
And I have to mention Jeremy Renner and Simon Pegg. LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
For some strange reason (I still have no reason why) I didn't want to like Jeremy Renner. No clue.
But he was so awesome. And Simon Pegg was the comical relief.
I am so excited for The Avengers now (Jeremy Renner is Hawkeye).
So does it deliver? Yes. Definitely.
See ya! ~Jane

Not a review today :(

Hey guys,
Sorry about not posting anything lately (and AHA! I just remembered what I am going to upload at the end of this post.) There are not going to be any reviews in this post (like the title said), so, I apologize. I really haven't been reading that much, for the lack at the library, and restrictions. But yesterday I did read around 50 pages of The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, and  I am loving it (I think it's fantastic)( so I will be doing a review on that probably around 2 weeks(??) from now....). I think it is hysterical, actually, and I can't wait to read more today.
Lately, I have been compiling a list of contemporary books (aka books that do not count for school), and so far I have :
Percy Jackson series
Insurgent (sequel to Divergent x))
The Drowned Vault by ND Wilson
Everneath by Brodi Ashton
Legend by Marie Lu
...........
And that is about it (I think). So any suggestions would be very welcome!!!
Does anyone have a Pinterest account? I do (Jane Morgan), and it is so much fun (haha I've been Hunger Games crazy on there; created a whole board for it :D )
Haha, so I really haven't ever watched the FX tv series Glee, but last week my sista showed me this performance with Matt Bomer (White Collar). :) I've watched it close to 100x.

I really love it : Somebody that I used to know (original by Gotye).
Please pray for me. I have been having a really hard time lately, just with various stuff. But I would truly appreciate it. :)
So here is the upload :

Katniss and Prim Everdeen!!

So that's all for today! Love you guys xoxoxoxox
