Of This & That

○ Tom Hiddleston replaced Benedict Cumberbatch in Guillermo Del Toro's Crimson Peak: link. In the meantime, Benedict started the talks to join the Brad Pitt produced Lost City of Z: link. So, the thing with Star Wars was really just a rumor. Bummer.

○ Ian McKellen will play Sherlock holmes in A Slight Trick of the Mind: link. Eh. I love both Ian McKellen and Sherlock Holmes but this is not my cuppa. Sherlock without Watson? Sherlock with his mental powers fading? A young sleuth? Eh. Just... eh. I really don't like it when authors - this is based on a book - use Sherlock Holmes as nothing more than a springboard for their own creations. Either write about Sherlock and do him justice or build your own world, take the necessary risks and also responsibility for your own writing. This is just lazy.

The Bourne Ultimatum

The best Bourne movie yet! I really liked the suspense, the conspiracy, Treadstone and Black Briar - all of which was then tied perfectly together in The Bourne Legacy; honestly, people who said Legacy didn't make any sense obviously haven't seen any Bourne movies before because it was all right there, explained.

I was glad that Nicky played such a big part in the movie. Though I felt sorry for her, that she had to go on a run too. And that nothing changed for her when Black Briar went public. She was still considered a threat and had to keep on hiding :(

Pamela. Gosh, Pamela was rocking awesome. I loved how she tricked Vosen. And that was the only thing I didn't like in Legacy, that in the end, everything turned against her after all, not even the files and her testimony helped :(

I loved the action scenes. I could've done with a bit less shaky cam, but the way it was filmed, so much suspense. And the music... Excellent!

My favorite bit? When Bourne stole into Vosen's office and called him and when asked about his whereabouts, Vosen answered that he was in his office. And Bourne said, no, if you were, we would be having this conversation eye to eye. LOL! So sassy!

Oh, and I didn't know that Daniel Brühl had a tiny part in this one! He played Marie's brother. Interesting...
