Clunky writing, decent acting? *sigh* Don't know if I want to bother.
I keep going back and forth about whether or not I want to see it.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm fairly sure it'll go on my Netflix queue.
Has anyone seen or heard anything about The Last Legion? I'm intrigued, 'cuz Colin Firth in Roman dress with a sword, but it looks like it has the potential to be truly awful.

Art Crawl!!!
I saw a promo for it and it's got MORE than Colin Firth. . .but - yeah, zero publicity makes me think that they would prefer to forget about it.

Guh! Must see that.

True. Ben Kingsley, Aishwarya Rai, John Hannah, Alexander Siddig... It's a cast made of awesome. Perhaps I will have to sacrifice and see it and report back.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
So did only a few people see the Bourne movie this weekend? I find that I don't have much to complain about, but also not much to say. It might have lacked heart.
Also, and possibly interesting only to me, I didn't see a car chase filmed in Chelsea. But I did pass by Bourne's choice of vehicle parked unassumingly on the street several days in a row in Feb. I don't know why they had several blocks roped off for a chase that magically went from the Port Authority to the Seaport, but whatever.

I never got around to seeing the second Bourne movie, and TCG has never seen either of the first two, so if we do get around to seeing the third one, it will probably be on DVD. I did want to see this one, because of Julia Stiles.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I didn't even notice that, which is how much I was paying attention to detail!

I found it wonderfully distracting, but not a conversation piece. I think they sit around and decide which cities they'd like to go to this time and then plan a movie around them -- which isn't a knock, I'm just jealous.
I'm glad we saw it at Union Station because people there are more likely to whoop & cheer when Jason Bourne walks away from each car crash, etc., and that improves it for me.

In a little less than a year, Damon has done the Ocean's movie, Bourne, The Departed, and the Good Shepherd. That is quite a run-- he seems good at selecting good projects, unlike a certain Ben Affleck I could name.
