Batman Begins

Every day a choice is made to contribute to society and a choice is made to nibble away at its foundations. Rachel Dawes (Katie Holmes) is one of the former and she feels that Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is part of the latter crew. She figure he contributes to the lethargy that keeps bad men rich and good men afraid. A stinging slap is about all she can muster in her frustration. But her righteously indignant accusation that Bruce’s father would be ashamed of him cut him to the quick. His plan to gun down his parents’s killer leaves her speechless. But just to be sure he has got the message, she slaps him a second time.

Blink

I had an odd thing happen recently. I was having trouble seeing with my glasses on but I could see better without them. I thought maybe my prescription had changed so I went in for an exam to determine what was going on. It turns out that after decades of having to wear glasses, my eyes had reverted to 20/20. That’s not the case for Emma Brody (Madeline Stowe). An operation gives her back some sight but she sees distorted faces and, on occasion, delayed images of who is in her line of sight. This makes it awkward when she is witness to a murder. Her brain is taking time to process images but the killer is out looking for her.

The Bourne Identity

What sort of circumstances are needed before you begin to trust someone? When the American and the Swiss attempt to capture Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) at the US consulate in Zurich, he gives Marie Helena Kreutz (Franka Potente) $20,000 to take him to Paris, the city of the address on a passport. He spins a wild tale of amnesia, chases and bad guys attempting to assassinate him. In Paris, Marie finds wanted posters in an assassin’s bag with both her and Bourne’s pictures on them, after the killer explodes through a window.

The Bourne Supremacy

Is it possible to believe someone who you think has betrayed you? Maybe, but you’ll need more proof. Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) believes that Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) ordered Marie’s (Franka Potente) death in Goa. He targets her with a rifle from a nearby roof, and calls her to ask why people are after him again. She isn’t aware that he is so close by and tells him that it is because he killed two people in Berlin. He tells her that she should be more careful and looks tired. Her shock is palpable.

Beverly Hills Cop

I’ve met a number of characters in my day. Some have been enchanting, some have been rude and some have been creepy. Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is looking for his old friend Jenny Summers (Lisa Eilbacher) at a gallery where she works when he runs into Serge (Bronson Pinchot). With a dubious accent and a proclivity for anything in pants, Serge tries to persuade Axel that she is too busy. Persistence pays off so Serge fondle another assistant asking him to bring Jenny along to see Axel.
