"Writers Tony Gilroy, Scott Burns, and George Nolfi do good justice to the wonderful novel by Robert Ludlum. Director Paul Greengrass goes even further and delivers an exhilarating sequence of events in this intriguing spy movie. Matt Damon is perfect in the lead role followed by superb actors, Joan Allen, Scott Glenn, ALbert Finney, Davit Stratham, Julia Stiles, Paddy Considine and Edgar Ramirez. "

"One of the many things Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich did this week — instead of resigning from his position, as many people desired — was sign into law an increase on tax credits for films produced in his state. So, it should be only appropriate, and somewhat bittersweet, for the inevitable movie about his life and corruption hearings to be shot there. Now that we’ve got a location for the film, it’s time to cast the players in Blogojevich’s scandalous tale. The Washington Post has already published a list of possible actors to portray the lead (John Travolta, Sean Astin, Gary Cole, Stephen Baldwin, Tom Cruise, Ray Liotta, Charlie Sheen, Mike Myers and Steve Carrell), but more difficult than casting Blogojevich (see our pick below) is determining what other significant figures should be prominently featured. A straight biopic calls for way too many characters, so we’ve narrowed the film down to focus on just Blagojevich’s arrest and subsequent (forthcoming) trial. As always, if ... "

"I can only imagine what compromising pictures there must be floating out there of Joan Allen to get her to agree to a role in director Paul W.S. Anderson's car porn flick, “Death Race.” Granted, her role in the “Bourne” films was a supporting one, but this woman was thrice nominated for an Oscar. I mean, she's got to be more proud of starring in Saturday Night Live's “The Best of Chris (Mr. Peepers) Kattan” video than this. I know the argument: “It's just pure fun, it's a Roger Corman film, for crying out loud. Loosen up, Mr. Stuffy Movie Critic Guy!” And while I will admit to a few inventive scenes (the one prisoner's head that seemingly explodes when he gets plowed into was a nifty little effect. But the director must have thought so too, and decided to show it on three separate occasions), the overall effect is nothing that "

"Over the weekend, Wanted had a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.com. It’s since gone down to 81% (at the time of this writing — and with top critics it’s down to 67%), though that’s still pretty good for a movie that initially looked like just another Matrix knockoff. But will the good reviews make for great box office? Last night, while viewing the latest trailer in a theater with some friends, I mentioned that Wanted was receiving great reviews. Nobody believed me at first, and then they didn’t care; they still thought it looked terrible. Good reviews rarely help an action movie, and bad reviews rarely deter audiences from seeing them. However, if we look at the top 5 most critically acclaimed action movies, it’s clear that people do often prefer a good action film to a bad one. The next 5, on the other hand… The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003) Rotten Tomatoes’ “T-Meter” score: 94% (top critics: 98%) All Time Domestic Box Office Rank: #9 ($377 million) Sam "

"The rising action plateaus, a mini-climax occurs, and many are left complaining about a lack of "plot". Personally, I think some people should take some time reviewing the elements of plot. This story doesn't lack a plot, it is merely not the entire plot of a story on its own. Perhaps the end should have been a giant "TO BE CONTINUED..." to help all of the less than observant viewers grasp the reality that this film's plot is part of a larger storyline. Overall I greatly enjoyed the pace and action of the film. Perhaps I'm just an adrenaline addict, but the breakneck speed of events in this film was a welcome change of pace from other action movies I've watched. I also appreciated the more gritty and raw version of Bond. Casino Royale reshaped the image of Bond as a more human character with real emotions, even capable of love, and hate. Quantum of Solace built on this persona by showing Bond as being loyal to M, passionate about avenging his lost love, and capable of caring about ... "

""Quantum of Solace" is not so much a new James Bond film as it is an epilogue to "Casino Royale," which is not meant as a complaint, but merely an observation. While not marked by the same measured dramatic strides "Royale" made when it so successfully relaunched the franchise with its most thrilling installment in decades, "Solace" nevertheless solidifies Craig's reign as the most magnetic Bond the series has known (sorry Connery fans). With "Solace" clocking in at just over 90 minutes, though, he's not provided with much breathing room to showcase sophistication, or display his humorous side. No, here it's all about leaping from one action spectacle to the next with nary a nanosecond to catch one's breath. Some c "

"Over at the AMC blog SciFi Scanner, there’s a post about the accuracy of Jason Bourne’s condition in the Bourne movies. At the World Science Festival, held last weekend in NYC, there was a panel titled The Brain and Bourne: Neuroscience in the Bourne Trilogy that featured Bourne Identity director Doug Liman and psychiatrist and neuroscientist Giulio Tononi. And according to Tononi, the sort of amnesia that Bourne suffers from, which includes the ability to retain certain skills despite an overall loss of memory, is rare but does exist. Interesting, but does it really matter? Nobody making the Bourne movies seems to have known its accuracy, and they probably didn’t care. And neither do most moviegoers. Amnesia is simply a good plot device for movies, and oftentimes they’re more ab "

"Two of this year’s Oscar winning films were sequels. And only two Oscar-nominated films are officially slated for sequels. But only one film fits both of these truths. The Bourne Ultimatum, which was a bit of an upset in its winning of three Academy Awards, including the shocker of Best Editing (which Christopher Rouse certainly deserved), will definitely be getting a follow-up, if this Variety article from Friday is correct (via Cinematical and Empire). The possibility of a fourth Bourne installment has been floating around for awhile now, despite the fact that Ultimatum so nicely tied up the series’ storyline and despite implications from Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass that continuing the franchise is unnecessary. But considering Ultimatum was a box office hit, and a critical favorite (it was one of the best mainstream films of the year) and has now won t "

"I liked the Bourne Identity. I thought Supremacy was just as good. And I would continue on to say that Ultimatum perfectly compliments the first two films and does a great job filling in the gaps and ending the story on a high-note.Damon's performance as Bourne is perfect. Bourne is such a cool character. He's like the Road Runner. Everytime you think he's about to get caught, he escapes with little to no troubles. Julia Stiles was more well-developed, although there are a couple lines she says you expect answers to that end up being forgotten about later. I thought David Strathairn did an amazing job as the government villain. I would say there are only 2 little minor perturbances that got to me in this otherwise great film. The casting of Albert Finney, because he is practically a replica of Brian Cox. I could barely tell the two apart. The other involves a hitman being unscathed after you see him practically die. He didn't have time to change his clot ... "
