I was watching late but I may have fallen asleep during the first MI and Bourne. I haven't gotten to MI2, but the second Bourne has been a lot of fun so far. I'm gonna finish that tonight.

Similar to Tom Cruise, Matt Damon is an actor I rarely get excited for but almost always enjoy.

I guarantee you will like Greengrass's Bourne movies much more than Liman's, stip, because Liman's is a near-perfect film, and Greengrass's suck ass.

Liman did Identity. Greengrass did Supremacy and Ultimatum.

I started the first Bourne movie a few weeks ago. Got about 7 minutes in and wasn't feeling it. I'm guessing I'll really like it once I sit down and pay attention but my head was in 20 different places and the movie couldn't pull me in immediately. I didn't give it a chance at all.

War of the worlds

Well, im a fan. I mean, this is the second or third time i see this movie, and this time was purely for cinematic reasons. Spielberg delivers, Cruise is at the top of his game....yeah, the ending is kinda fucked, but still a great movie, lots of actions, beautifully shot and acted.

The Adventures Of Tintin.

Not so sure about this one. I dont quite like that they took elements from two stories to bring another one. And the 3d stuff is good, but sometimes is creepy...Also, some scenes were specially made for the 3d effect and right now dont make sense.
BONE FUCKIN´ TOMAHAWK.

As an American I find myself having a real hard time giving a shit about Tintin.

You should definitely give it another chance. There's a key scene with Clive Owen that I'd put on the shortlist of my favorite scenes ever.

My wife is a huge fan of the film. And we tend to agree on these kinds of things. I just shouldn't have even put it on when I did. I'll get to it again soon.

It's definitely a slow burner with a lot of subtlety. It deserves an attentive watch.

which scene?
Spoiler: show
It's the meeting in the field after Bourne shoots Owen's character. He's dying and he's knows it, and he asks Bourne if he also gets headaches. "I get such bad headaches." Fuck, it makes me want to cry just thinking about it. The tragedy, the intimacy, the longing to share a little humanity before death, all set against a bleak, wintry morning. Jesus. :cry:
