Jason Bourne

Cast: Matt Damon, Alicia Vikander, Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent Cassel, Riz Ahmed, Ato Essandoh

Directed by: Paul Greengrass

A rogue former spy wreaks havoc on his former employers. Jason Bourne explores his father's death and the reason for his recruitment into the CIA while he evades the agents tracking him across continents. He encounters old names and is contacted by new faces. Action packed with cyber ops, clandestine hand to hand combat, this is the same Bourne in a post-Snowden world. 

Sestra C. This film, although completely satisfying, gave me an awful headache (but maybe it was just poor seating choice, and I blame my sestras for that). Either I got used to the energy or the movie eventually tamed down, but post Stiles' demise, things got better. Like old Bourne films this takes two different paces, where mellow scenes require a lot of fast reading through documents and fast ones demanded full attention, so you know who's getting most of the hits. Vikander's character give viewers much to hope for. Of course, she is not the typical leading lady that action stars get--that was Stiles, and she died even before the movie starts to properly engage you.

Ghostbusters

Cast: Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig, Chris Hemsworth

Directed by: Paul Feig 

This all female rebot of a beloved classic brings together an uptight Columbia PhD, an eccentric wanton-lover, a prolific engineer and a whip smart subway attendant and theur hot-but-intellectually challenged assistant. The gang battles against the paranormal forces of evil across New York City. 

Sestra C. I remember being young and watching Ghostbusters as a cartoon show on television and being as totally amused as I was them, while watching this film. The humor is refreshing and it surprised me that Melissa McCarthy did not overpower, as she often does. As a 35-year old viewer of a show I used to watch when I was less than 10 years old, the jokes are timely but I don't think the story has a place for today's viewers who are used to Sadako-looking ghosts that bring nightmares. Ghosts are not cute like Casper and they are definitely not "neon".

This is a THREE SESTRA RATING. 

Abigail, make a smaller and even simpler avatar rating like this one. So you need to make 4: 1 sestra, 2 sestra, 3 sestra and 4 sestra rating. I don't know what else you want to put at the FOOT of every post or how we will introduce the sestra rating. 

On the sidebar of the blog we can identify what ratings signify. We can also classify movies into date-movie, family movie, dance inspiratinoal etc. That's up to you, I'm running out of ideas.
