Rip Girls (2000)
I've got to give Disney credit for this one
Unlike most made for TV Disney Channel movies, Rip Girls shines through and delivers a decent plot and beautiful settings. All of the child actors do an excellent job, and are able to make the movie believable. Definitely a movie for all ages, it's somewhere below the action of Blue Crush, and above the absurdity of Lilo & Stitch. It's respectful of Hawaiian culture and tradition, and portrays surfing in a nice light. I'd recommend this movie to anyone willing to watch the Disney Channel.
The Bourne Identity (2002)
I would have rather sat through 5 hours of this if it stuck with the book
I had read the book before having seen the movie. I loved the book. It is an incredible piece of writing that I somehow still remember. Which is why when I saw the movie I had no idea what was going on. The movie doesn't even come close to the book. Everything that Jason Bourne ever wanted to know, all of the questions he kept asking himself, all of the answers he went look for, are in the end of the book. They don't even make it into the movie. Up until the scene in Bourne's apartment, I almost believed that they could cram a long novel into 2 hours. From there I don't know where to begin.
Matt Damon is not suitable for spy thrillers. Jason Bourne is supposed to be a sophisticated man who could blend into any background, become invisible. Damon can do none of that. He can barely act. The rest of the cast was good though. Julia Stiles as Nicole was somewhat unneccessary though. When she first came on screen I looked at her for a second and knew that she was Julia Stiles. No amount of make up or acting can hide that.
Cain is for Charlie. Delta is for Cain. Now where the hell is Carlos?
