Inspired by that "best current directors" thread, those Bourne films...really not all that.

I enjoyed them, probably would go to see the fourth if they make it, but Paul Greengrass is not God bought down to earth and put in charge of a film crew. Why everyone goes along with this I don't know. (I know Doug Liman did Identity).

I agree that there isn't much special about the first one. In fact I was so underwhelmed, I never bothered with the second installment. Ultimatum on the other hand is another story. Along with Raiders of the Lost Ark, it is my favourite action/adventure movie ever.

Greengrass certainly isn't the second coming, but Bloody Sunday, United 93, and Bourne 3 are all terrific films. You  have to give him his due.

I think Bloody Sunday & United 93 are far better films than any of the Bourne films.
What? What are you talking about? It's girls and spaghetti. We love girls and spaghetti.

Chihuahua is going to be the cinematic achievement of the decade!

Why would that be an unpopular opinion? And who said it was a matter of opinion at all? Beverly Hills Cihuahua is clearly the cinematic achievement of the decade. It's plain fact. The math is all there too:

50% Warrior + 50% Lover = 100% Chihuahua

I enjoyed the 3rd Pirates movie. Much more than the 2nd especially
I love The Life Aquatic
I think Annie Hall is overrated
I'm overall very disappointed with all of the X-Men and Spiderman movies
I think Keira Knightley is a better actress than Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman

I'm not a big Keira fan, but most ash trays are better actresses than ScarJo.

I have to agree.  ScarJo was so bad in The Other Boleyn Girl that I have crossed her off by list forever.  Her performance was painful to watch.  She had no idea who she was or why she was in that film.  Maybe her pout and deer-caught-in-the-headlights look work for some parts, but oh my, not in that part. Portman was not much better, but by comparison she profited.

I don't like Kiera or Natalie, but I do like ScarJo.

Ive only seen her in Interview, which felt like it was made for her. Her performance was excellent in that, but I haven't seen anything to compare it too.
