119 mins     Action , Adventure , Mystery, Thriller

Mona Lisa Smile (2003)

114 mins     Drama

A Guy Thing (2003)

"State and Main" is the equivalent of a great singer singing the phonebook as in 90% of this movie is about the performances of the cast, their snappy, naturalistic delivery of witty dialogue. It is almost the sort of movie w...

The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)

115 mins     Action , Adventure , Mystery, Thriller      

So with the brilliant "The Bourne Identity" and the equally impressive sequel "The Bourne Supremacy" along rolls Matt Damon as Jason Bourne in the third movie in the series, "The Bourne Ultimatum". The good news is that it is...
