Great movie....thoroughly entertaining and very fast-paced!!

A must see for all DIE HARD fans!!!
Yeah I watched it last week. Did you see when he drove the police car out of the tunnel and hit the helicopter? That's nuts! And did you see the jet fighter (F35) fly vertically? That could be the most effective destroyer!

I watched the Bourne Ultimatum last evening. You must see that, JJ. Especially if you also have watched Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy. Highly recommended.

Yes....agree!! Some of those shots were hair-raising, especially when he was driving that huge trailer-truck and the Harrier jet was trying to blast him to kingdom come!! I liked the bit with those fly-overs collapsing all around him.

How the hell do those special effects guys achieve all that? Bloody amazing!!

The Bourne Ultimatum opens nationwide in NZ on the 23rd of this month. Won't miss it for the world!!

Cheers - JJ

Yeah I'm thinking the same too about the special effect. I've always been a huge fan of James Bond. Well, I guess I have to start looking again after I saw Die Hard and Bourne Ultimatum. I mean, the last James Bond was nothing special.

I know they're trying to follow the trends but it's like watching the ole-cowboy movie, which it was good back then, but if you watch that again now you'll think that it's too slow.

Well, in all fairness, I thought the last 007 film - Casino Royale was absolutely superb!! Loved every thrilling moment of that flick and I thought Daniel Craig did a fantastic impersonation of the great man.

Although, IMHO, this guy is still the greatest BOND....ever!!

JJ my friend in Auckland N.Z. the weekend is spent, what will you be wearing this week?
It is to be a continuation with Bluesy or shall it be back to the grindstone with you and Expy? For me Monday, Tuesday my favored Sea-Dweller, Wednesday-Friday I will be using the LV Sub. The rest must sit in the safe safe queens that they are.

GREAT PICS JJ!!!!
I don't know if it's just a great camera you have...or your photography skills (hmmmm...) But those pics...especially the first...looks like it could be from an actual Rolex print ad.
NICE!!!
Cheers!
