Before the movie started the theatre showed a trailer for “Rendition” starring Reese Witherspoon which will shortly be making its debut all over the world.
“Rendition is multi-layered story centering on a CIA analyst (Jake Gyllenhaal) based in Cairo who finds his world spinning out of control after he witnesses the interrogation of a foreign national by the Egyptian secret police.
Reese has been tapped to play Isabella El-Ibrahim, the pregnant American wife of an Egyptian-born chemical engineer whose family emigrated to the States in the mid 1980s, who is shipped off to a third world country for interrogation after he is deemed a political prisoner in our post-9/11 world. Alan Arkin will play a senator who tries to help Reese’s character in her search for her missing husband. The investigation eventually threatens the senator’s position in Washington.”
Watch the trailer and puke:

great, great flick. I’d pay to see it again.
Of course its a leftist movie. Matt Damon is in it. This guy grew up next door to Howard Zinn, and has been planning to make a miniseries of his awful People’s History of the United States (with his twin, Affleck). I go to fewer movies now than I ever have, and not because of prices. I go far, far less (two movies in 18 months) because I’m accutely aware of the leftist/liberal crap Hollywood spews at me, and I refuse to reward them for it.
Would someone please buy the director a lens with a little longer focal length!
Saw Bourne 3 Last Night. What a great movie, even better than the first 2 AND I didn't detect that it was loaded up with the goo you mentioned.
And, at the end, the bad guys got caught.
I guess now we can look forward to Bourne 4 (Bourne Redemption)
By the time the first Bourne film came out - 2002 - over 20 had gone by from when I read the novel that by the time I saw the movie, I didn’t know if it followed the book at all. I use to like Ludlum’s stuff but for some reason I stopped reading him.
In the book called The Bourne Ultimatum, Jason is fighting Carlos the Jackal.
The movie has absolutely nothing to do with the book of the same name. It's just another continuation of the story of the first two movies, AFAICT.
Too bad. The book was excellent. Would have made a very good movie.
