I want to be an asset too.

I liked the movie, but, yeah, if the camera movement bothered you in #2, at least take some anti-nausea medication before going to see this.

It would seem obvious that I should avoid movies like that, but Crank was the first movie in a long time that didn't give me a headache.

Well, The Bourne Ultimatum didn't give me the headache, but it sure nurtured it and helped it grow to full potential.

I liked the movie. I liked the tension of it, and the hollowness and the precision. Because it turns on the fact that the protagonists are devilishly clever, though, it makes the times when the plot demands not taking the obvious precautions (Really? You don't order immediate lockdown in your building when you find out he's there? You don't notice your treacherous employee is suddenly in Tangiers?) stick out quite a bit.

Still, liked it. Got a fair amount of applause--all the big fight scenes got it, as well as the moment when he started swimming at the end.

Oddly enough parts of the movie felt very familiar--other than the obvious following on from #2--the scene where he talks to her while looking at her from the building across the street seemed so familiar to me that I was confused whether there'd been a similar scene in the previous movies, or if I had recast that bit of the book so strongly.

I love the trailer for American Gangster. I love Denzel's physicality and can't wait to see that flick. Mrrowr.

Saw my first trailer for that Yuma cowboy flick they didn't seem to be able to find Americans to star in. But hey--Russell and Christian look hot and fake Yank well. I'll be there.

Odd-looking movie, The Brave One. The title is weird, just to start off with. But I can buy Jodie Foster as Ms. Punisher better than I buy her snogging Naveen Andrews. It's not the gay thing--just that in the little time they had, I didn't get any chemistry.

I wish I could remember the first movie trailer they showed. Something it...aha... The Kingdom. Man, will that movie come out already? I feel like I've been watching not only trailers but also the ad that goes into more detail about it forever. Sheesh.

Oh, you know my main problem in Bourne? When Julia Stiles is running through Tangier, and she never grabs a scarf to cover up her extremely noticeable hair. Although I did like that hair on her.

I can almost buy her not being that good. But I'm unsure about what sort of training you get to have a desk job-- spook stuff?

Yeah, I don't know. But she ran right through laundry! Disguise!

I hated her anyway. I bought Joan Allen's character's change of direction (although she was dumb to go to the park--did she know she was being tracked? I got confused about which person told Straitharn's character she was talking to Bourne) but as for her it seemed a little fast to make that "not under duress" call. And she can't emote for shit, which doesn't help.

Has anyone seen The Golden Door? I hadn't heard of it, but it is playing at one of the local theaters, and I thought it looked interesting. We might go see it tomorrow, and I would love to hear if anyone had seen it before.

They've changed the name of The Dark is Rising to The Seeker: The Dark is Rising.

Oh, dear.

I know. I don't understand how that name change helps. LOTS of people know what The Dark is Rising is.

I don't understand how that name change helps.

It's certainly not helping me ear-worm wise.
