Spies, intrigue, amnesia and exotic European locales are the elements that make up the new spy thriller, The Bourne Identity. Matt Damon returns to lush locales he visited in The Talented Mr. Ripley to take a crack at the evolving Hollywood spy genre.
Matt Damon stars as author Robert Ludlum's super-spy Jason Bourne.

The Bourne Identity, starring Matt Damon as a spy who can't remember his name, has exactly what The Sum of All Fears and Bad Company are missing: quality. This film is very good, while the other two are crap.
Based on Robert Ludlum's novel of the same name, Damon brings the character to life in a movie that keeps moving forward all the time.

Ironically enough, as I sit down to write a movie review about a movie which features a protagonist who suffers from an acute case of amnesia, I find myself struggling to remember my own experience of viewing said film. Of course, I myself do not suffer from amnesia, and perhaps I am being somewhat cheeky when I speak of having trouble recalling last night's movie screening.
Not since Black Hawk Down has a war film been this harrowing or graphic. Windtalkers delivers.
Windtalkers takes place during the Pacific conflict of World War II. A battered, bruised and nearly deaf soldier named Sgt. Joe Enders (Nicolas Cage) is assigned to a new unit after the tragic ending of his last mission.

Say what you want about Jeremy Irons, but the man has been working in Hollywood for nearly 30 years and has built up an impressive resumé consisting of roles in both smaller more intimate projects and big action-packed blockbusters. He may not always give a consistent performance, but when he's on top of his game he can give a compelling performance on par with even the best actors.

When we last saw our two "heroes" â€" J.S. Lee and the lovely Kiery Drysdale â€" the dynamic duo had just finished doing battle with the atrocious "feminist" (ha ha), buddy gross-out comedy, and probably one of the worst movies of 2002 thus far, The Sweetest Thing. Having barely made it out of the theatre alive, both J.S.

Dean Kish: Can you tell us anything about your upcoming film, Insomnia?
Christopher Nolan: It's a psychological thriller centering around a veteran cop who is sent up from Los Angeles to a town in Northern Alaska to help the police solve a murder involving a young girl. He goes up there with his partner from L.A.
You walk into a movie theatre and you are greeted by the sight of dozens upon dozens of children holding balloons. Their young voices are piercing the air in a collective whine, and it is your second nature to shudder and briefly consider getting a refund or exchanging your tickets for a film with a harsher rating. However, sometimes this second nature is closed-minded.

Sometime during the course of human evolution there came to fruition the belief that the human male was largely influenced and motivated by his libido. A notion largely held by the female of the species, but one which has also made it's way into the realm of popular belief, and has become widely accepted by not only women, but men alike.
