| The Bourne Ultimatum Wow...amazing movie. The action never stops. It has one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen, and I was pretty stressed out the entire time. DEFINITELY recommend that you guys see it. |

| I've been excited about this one and can't wait to see it. I read some bad reviews the other day and was beginning to get worried. Glad to hear something good about it. |

| The books are the best super spy novels out there. Movies have been disappointing thus far and have drifted quite a ways from Ludlum's masterpieces, but I do hear good things about this last one. |

If you get caught up and love those, he's written about 100 others of similar style, with The Parsifal Mosaic being the best (after the first Bourne) |

| My brother saw it, said it was cool, except they used the damned shaky camera the whole time. It's kind of an annoying Hollywood trend, especially in all the new "street-level" espionage flicks.
The Good Shepherd and Breach are the best espionage movies as of late, IMO.

The shaky camera may just push me to wait for the DVD. It annoyed the hell out of me in the last film. |

| The Departed does have the shock value that I mentioned, but behind the show, it still is an extremely well-wrought, well-acted and generally well-executed film.
That and The Last King of Scotland were easily the best films of '06.
As for Breach, Chris Cooper steals the entire show. Ryan Phillipe is good, not great, but the interaction between the two is. Definitley keeps you on the edge of your seat. Imagine Phillipe's cocky character from Cruel Intentions getting put in his place by a true con-artist.

| I am still partial to Little Miss Sunshine and A Prairie Home Companion. I also really enjoyed the Illusionist though it was slightly predictable.
The biggest disappointment for me was A Scanner Darkly. |
