The summer of threequels isn’t over just yet

Allow me to quote Paul Rudd in “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” when I say, “Y’know, I always thought that Matt Damon was a bit of a Streisand, but he’s rocking the shit in this one!”

After playing the Bond-like protagonist in the first two films, Damon returns for his final performance as Jason Bourne in the third chapter of the supercharged action series. The film hits theaters at the beginning of August, but we haven’t had the chance to see a full trailer until today. From the few minutes highlighted in the trailer, I think it’s safe to say that the movie promises to deliver the same level of action that made “The Bourne Identity” the official blueprints for every other action flick that followed. Paul Greengrass returns to direct, Julia Stiles switches sides as Bourne’s right-hand lady, and David Strathairn steps in as the new evil government agent.

Check it out and then come back to let us know what you think.

“Live Free or Die Hard”: is it just me…

…or does the trailer for this movie seem designed to completely sink the film at the box office?

I mean, the first three “Die Hard” films had one key element above all others: Bruce Willis was a smart-talking tough guy with rapid-fire patter that made you laugh even as he was kicking ass and taking names. I’ve seen this preview three times now, and each time, I find myself thinking, “Who is the morose motherfucker that made this thing?” It’s so dark that it practically creates a fun vacuum, in which no merriment can possibly exist; even the ostensibly funny lines don’t get a laugh because the overtones of the preview are so ominous. In fact, the only person who comes close to getting a laugh is Kevin Smith, and even his big line – “Who is this man?” – feels tacked on, like someone watched the trailer and said, “Yeah, I’m not still smiling here. Better show the fat guy.”

I spent all this time getting psyched for this movie, and, now, I almost don’t even want to see it. Based on the trailer, it doesn’t feel the first thing like a “Die Hard” flick.

Am I alone on this…?
