The Bourne Ultimatum
The Bourne Ultimatum is the third film in the Jason Borne franchise with actor Matt Damon (Ocean’s Thirteen) and director Paul Greengrass (United 93) returning. In this film, Jason Bourne continues to be hunted by the CIA, as he still has no memory of who he really is. He is lured out of hiding, when a journalist has valuable information on Treadstone, the project that made Bourne become an assassin. With the information being top secret, a government official (David Strathairn) sends out another assassin from the same Treadstone project to find Bourne and eliminate him before the secrets are exposed. Will Jason Bourne find out who he really and stop this sinister government official before he is killed?
It’s very rare that a third film from a franchise can turn out to be a very enjoyable and intelligent movie as the first two films in a series. Paul Greengrass does a great job directing the action sequences, as it makes the story suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat. Matt Damon was great as Jason Bourne again. He might be the best actor along with Clive Owens, working in Hollywood today.
The Bourne Ultimatum is the perfect way to end the Jason Bourne trilogy.

Salome
Salome is based on an Oscar Wilde’s classic play from 1896. The film is a about a princess who is imprudent. She begins to be obsessed with a female prisoner. Soon, she is forced to dance for Queen Herod. This will lead her down a road that might prove deadly for her and the prisoner she’s obsessed with.
Salome was a very interesting short film. It was nice change of pace to see any type of feature without any dialogue. I thought directors Alexia Anastasio (also stars as the title character in the film) and Kevin Sean Michaels did a good job directing the actors through the motions of this performance art piece. I liked how the film lets you use your imagination, as it was shot using blue background.
Ari Lehman did the score for this film. But horror fans might know him, as the first person to play Jason Vorhees in the original Friday the 13th. His score was very good, as it’s a key component to this film. It helps create the visual experience that used in this performance art piece.
Salome is a nice short film that’s uses a performance arts setting to makes you use your imagination.
