NOW SHOWING:
Bourne Identity: Entirely enjoyable, through and through. I highly recommend.
Minority Report: Imagine Bladerunner with a (sometimes jarringly upbeat) John Williams soundtrack, and you have a pretty good idea of the feeling you have after the movie.
TO RENT OR BUY ON DVD:
This is what you should do when you have 7 hours to kill:
Get Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Iron Monkey, and Jackie Chan’s Legend of Drunken Master.
Watch them in that order. CTHB will give you mythic China and remind you that a fun movie can also be a really good film. Iron Monkey will give you an “origin story” of one of the most well-known Chinese folk-heroes — pay attention to the “wow, my kung-fu’s pretty good” kid in the movie, because he grows up to be Jackie Chan’s character in Legend Drunken Master.
Lots of good wire-fu action, followed up by Jackie Chan at possibly his very best. You’ll be talking out of sync with your lips for weeks.
