Offbeat Movie Scripts & Cinema seems to have finally taken off after a series of false starts @ the box office. If the events of past 2 months is any indicator, this trend might soon become mainstream leavings the traditional Sharukh & Bhansali razmatazz to the sidelines; an event that was long overdue. If Lagan set the coffers rolling ( Havent seen that one yet), movies like DCH (aka Dilchahta hai), Swades, Paheli, RDB have unleashed a chain reaction .... not to mention Hazaron Khuwahishein Aisi.

Then came along Chak De - Hockey Babes who managed to whip a frenzy of nationalistic pride... it acted as a catalyst to bring home the Asia Cup (hockey), Nehru Cup (football) & Twenty20... The best thing abt the movie - undoubtedly the simple script & the Gorgeous stick wielding Lasses ... So what abt Sharukh..one might ask..... well!! the stubble & the subtle screen presence seems to have done him a world of good. The kind of movie which struck a chord across generations.

My name is Bourne - Jason Bourne ..... how would that sound as a replacement for Her Majesties Most Dependable Spy - Mr. Bond.
Bond steadily seems to be loosing his magic - blame it on mundane scripts & Bond leads who lack charisma. The problem with Bond appears to be a dependence on hi-tech wizardry which has made the characters rather obsolete & ridden itself of the old world charm & spunk - the Bond movies of yore (Conney & Moore) were famous for.

Robert Ludlum - the quintessential narrator of many a classics including the Bourne series has finally managed to achieve where the modern day Bond has failed miserably - a watertight script, smart editing & brilliant acting.
Jason Bourne has surely made Matt Damon a household name.
Bourne Ultimatum - last of the Bourne series is a prequel to the earlier movies - Rediscovering his convoluted past.
An extremely fast paced movie; with some brilliantly choreographed fight sequences - gripping @ times while managing to recreate the intricate web so well established earlier.
