The Bourne Ultimatum



"After a three days' search, Webb's body has yet to be found."

That's the fascinating final sentence of the latest in the Jason Bourne saga, The Bourne Ultimatum. I'll not be a spoiler and give the foggiest idea what that means, but I will say that when the narrator read those words, and the screen shifted to a (surprisingly very, very attractive) Julie Stiles, well, her character Nicky Parsons, anyway, I exhaled the phrase, "this is my new favorite movie of the year thus far." Wow! I had kept The Departed as my fav all through the first 7+ months of 2007, but this one blows that great mobster film so far out of the water that it's almost imperceptible on yon horizon. It's def a must see...

I was wondering if you were ever going to go a-bloggin' again. I watched the first two Bourne films this past weekend in anticipation of seeing Ultimatum. Now that I have your recommendation I am very much looking forward to it.

It even beats Casino Royale? By the way, I have The World is Not Enough in hand and will be watching it this weekend.

In my opinion, yes, it beats CR. Let me know what you think of TWINE.

As for my bloggery lapse, it's just that I've been too busy. You know, you know. But now, I'm b-a-a-ack, and the world can breathe again. Whatever...
