Seen any good or bad movies lately?

I liked Bruce Willis , and I wanted to see it, but I don't know why I didn't like it. I didn't know it was the 3rd movie, I thought it was like the 5th.

But, my husband liked it which makes me glad because I hate to suggest a movie and then he not like it. He won't tell me until the end of the movie. Even if it tortures him. He just says, I thought it might get better.

This was the 4th Die Hard movie. Live Free or Die Hard. The first was in L.A., the second was in D.C. (airport), and the 3rd was in NYC with Samuel Jackson. The fourth movie (the latest) was horrible, I thought. The first 3 were all good. Don't waste your time with the 4th. Bourne Ultimatum was not the best but was still very good. And it doesn't appear to be the last one, the latest chapter has recently been released as a book. So we may see Jason bourne (David Webb) again.

Doubtful - Matt Damon was only contracted to do 3 Bourne movies. If they do make a 4th Bourne movie it'll probably star some 3rd rate TV actor and be straight to DVD. Book 4 isn't written by Robert Ludlum but the publisher's are still using his name on a series of new Ludlum-style books because they sell more if people think it was written by him rather than Eric Van Lustbader (who I believe did write it). Books are quite a bit different than the movies - I think in the books he becomes some sort of university lecturer professor and has a family with the woman he meets in the Bourne Identity. All of the later books are basically about him trying to protect his family from his dodgy past.

They've been doing the same sort of thing with James Bond novels - half a dozen writers have written Bond novels since Ian Fleming kicked it in the early 60's.

You're right. I didnt realize that it was a new author for the fourth book. I read the first 2 books a long time ago. Of course, many things were chnged for the films. I mean after a few decades, everything changes. So they of course had to change many aspects. If the fourth book is made into a film, it probably will be a 3rd rate tv actor. Kinda funny that you said this also, seeing your avitar. JCVD would be looking for work, right?

Or Lucas Black.

I think JCVD is too old these days. But there's no shortage of bad TV actors - I keep seeing trailers for that Spike TV series 'The Kill Point' which looks incredibly derivative, especially with Donnie Wahlberg as the burnt out cop. The pitch might well have started with:

"He's a cop who doesn't play by the rules..."
