Movie Review: **Venom

Venom is a popular Marvel Comic.  Eddie is a hard nose reported, and in doing an interview with Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed) industrialist, he uses secret files of his girlfriend (Anne (Michelle Williams).  Eddie (Tom Brock) become enmeshed with the symbiode Venom when he visits the industrial complex of Carlton Drake who has brought to earth three alien creatures, trying to expose him for performing experiments on humans, killing most of them. When Eddie and Venom are combined there is quite a struggle, but over time Venom decides he likes humans.  This leads to and attempt to undo the plans of Drake, and Riot (a symbiode that has combined with Drake.)  They want to bring millions of creatures to earth so they can feed on the population. 
Too much violence for me.  I just can't stand the thought of people getting their heads bitten off and eaten. 

Movie Review: Jason Bourne (2016)

This movie is the fifth of a series.  It has a way of rehashing the same formula, but also keeping the story line interesting.  This movie brings back Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, a man trained as a killing machine by the government, but who has rejected the program.  However he is always seen as a liability, and subject to government attempts to put him down.  In this case he is drawn into the fray, as someone else, Nicky Parsons (Julie Stiles) hacks into the CIA computer and steals the information about Bourne.  It is assumed Bourne is behind the break in, and that he intends to release the information to embarrass the CIA.  CIA Director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones) brings in an asset (Vincent Cassel) to take care of Bourne.  He also is going to use him to take care of Aaron Kalloor (Riz Ahmed) a computer mogul who is reneging on an agreement to put a back door in his computer soft ware so the CIA can access everybody's information.  Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander) is a CIA computer specialist, but she plays a much bigger roll in the end as she attempts to befriend Bourne.  Hair raising finish to this movie, with a little twist dangling for the next in the series.
I didn't find a great theme or moral, just action from start to finish to keep you entertained and jumping.  I think Sheri likes this type of movie more than I.
