    What do you think about the series Bourne? For those of you who don't know, Jason Bourne is an ex CIA agent of the branch: Treadstone. A group of people within the CIA who do missions to kill people who are a threat to the U.S. He has amnesia and he forgets what his name is/everything that happened to him. He is found in the water with 2 gun shots to the back, and a laser pointer in his hip, leading him to a bank in Zurich. (my homecity :D) and anyway, watch The Bourne Identity and the Bourne Supremacy, and when the third one comes out, The Bourne Ultimatum. great movies.

    I watched Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy and I think they are both good movies. I haven't read the books but it's nice seeing an action movie that's set outside the US.

    Ah yes Ronin was good. Also, Transporter 2 takes place somewhere in Europe I forget where. And I think Transporter also takes place somewhere in europe.

    I saw the preview for Ultimatum last night at Harry Potter

    On the phone:
    Damon: Where are you
    David Strathairn (in a car): Sitting in my office
    Damon: I doubt that...
    DS: Why would you doubt that?
    Damon: If you were in your office right now we'd be having this conversation face-to-face.
    (cue pandemonium as everyone in the CIA who went out to catch him tries to get back to the office)

    PS - I love Ronin - did you know that is the most expensive chase scene in movie history?
    I also love Jean Reno

    PPS - I haven't read it, but The Shawshank Redemption is only a short story - I took it out of the library once, and it was like 100-150 pages, in like size 16 font for old people or those who have poor eyesight

    lol, the worst movie-remake ever (in my opinon) was eragon, the books were insanely amazing, but anyone who saw the movie that read the book would want to kill themselves at such a mockery of the book.

    how so? the movies are based on the books, which is a trilogy, and they were planning on making all 3 of them (at least) since the success of the first one
