My most anticipated sequel of the year opens on Friday: The Bourne Supremacy. Paul Greengrass (Bloody Sunday) takes over the reigns from Doug Liman (Go) in the $80 million dollar blockbuster-in-waiting. Ebert and Roeper gave it Two Thumbs Up! And several online reviews suggest this film outdoes the first in retro-coolness car chases. The entire cast from the first film returns, with the exception of Clive Owen whose character was killed off. As a way of getting yourself more excited for the sequel, I proudly present "Countdown to Bourne Week." Yes, I will do these for only my most anticipated films. I give to you a list of films I highly recommend featuring the creative team behind the project. Here's what you do:
+See Brian Cox in the compelling L.I.E.
+Check out Franka Potente pre-Marie in Run Lola Run.
+Watch Julia Stiles at her bitchy best in The Business of Strangers.
+Enjoy Dolores Clairborne (different Bourne!) from screenwriter Tony Gilroy.
+Look for director Paul Greengrass's previous acclaimed film Bloody Sunday. (I have yet to watch it as of this writing, but will very soon.)
+Watch The Bourne Identity again. I have yet to see the new to DVD extended addition, but I hear it doesn't really add much.
+On Friday, see The Bourne Supremacy of course.
we gotta motor if we're gonna make it to that gay bar
