I loved them when they came out but I read them again recently and I was far less impressed. |

I only liked the first one. Hated the third one. I've read the Bourne Ultimatum and I hate the way Ludlum writes. His books feel like a very lame attempt at writing a movie script. You can almost feel exactly which scene he'd like to be in slo-mo because he puts so much emphasis on it. "He looked at the scar in the mirror... the scar.. the scar he got when he..." Yuck. He also likes to put a million unnecessary twists in his books. I hate that kind of stuff. Also, read the Rhinemann Exchange which had a better storyline than his Bourne stuff but was written the same way.

Had a breakthrough role in a movie with Laura Dern I think. Can't remember the title. edit: it was Rambling Rose. And he's in Mars Attack as the kid who saves the day. |

Night of the Hunter was a good watch, Ole. Although, I have to say they were religious headcases. I bet places likes those haven't a changed a bit in the States.

If you like Mitchum, check out Thunder Road. Pretty good movie. |

But the racist overtones are fairly strong - as Griffith himself admitted at the time (even though it probably wasn't thought of in racists terms back then). |

I saw the Fallen Idol a couple of days ago. Not as good as the Third Man, but still a well made and enjoyable film. I'm trying to get a hold of Odd Man Out; heard that's also supposed to be another good film by Reed.

Die Hard 4 and Transformers were excellent brainless entertainment but if you make an action film with an attempt at a relatively complex plot you had better make sure it makes some sort of sense. |
