Stacey and I saw The Bourne Ultimatum last week. I love movies like this, and read books like this, so it’s a slam-dunk that I’m going to like it even when they cast some dude as pretty as Matt Damon to play someone as tough as Jason Bourne.

While they didn’t close the door on future sequels, they did bring some closure to the story in the form of learning how Bourne got this way and who was responsible. There was also a reference to what seemed like a past relationship between Bourne and Nicki, Julia Stiles’ character.

Mmmmmm… Julia Stiles… she wore scarves and overcoats through most of her time in the film and STILL looked way sexier than Franka Potente did half-nekkid in The Bourne Identity…. mmmmm

Some people might not like the brutal violence and extended car chases, but my enjoyment of a movie like this is in direct proportion to the amount of brutal violence and car chases I get. I mean, you go in knowing that’s what you’re going to get, right? This isn’t a romantic comedy, and no one is doing any deep introspection because they have cancer, right? This is action/adventure and suspense, and you get both in spades.

Good stuff, two sun-dog paws up.
