How did anyone find Alex and Mo?” “We don’t know, but Alex will start looking. There ’s no one better than Alex, you said that yourself—” “He’s marked now—he’s a dead man,” interrupted Webb grimly. “They’ll kill him and come after me ... after us, which is why you and the kids are heading south. The Caribbean.” “I’ll send them, darling. Not me.” “There’s nothing to discuss.” Webb breathed deeply, steadily, imposing a strange control. “I’ve been there before,” he said quietly. Marie looked at her husband, his suddenly passive face outlined in the dim wash of the dashboard lights. What she saw frightened her far more than the specter of the Jackal. She was not looking at David Webb the soft-spoken scholar. She was staring at a man they both thought had disappeared from their lives forever.

  • How to Sell a Boring Action Hero an Analysis of the Success of the Bourne Ultimatum Within the Context of Corporate Hollywood
    How to sell a boring action hero An analysis of the success of The Bourne Ultimatum within the context of corporate Hollywood Abstract Jason Bourne is certainly not your typical action hero. He may share his initials with that other undercover icon James Bond, but ultimately, they have very little else in common. Jason Bourne is ordinary looking, has no sparkling personality, and no apparent sense of humor. To make things worse, he suffers from amnesia. Initially, all he knows about himself is that he displays impressive situational awareness, has an astonishing set of fighting skills, and that parties unknown want to kill him. Consequently, he looks confused whenever he is not otherwise engaged in dispatching bad guys. Nor is there any eye candy — no beaches and no babes — to make up for his otherwise rather dull personality. Even the final outcome of the Bourne films to date is far from uplifting. Ultimately, Bourne lays bare the moral bankruptcy of the West and its main political and economic systems. A boring action hero in a politically engaged story? This sounds like a recipe for disaster at the box office and yet the Bourne trilogy is one of the most successful Hollywood franchises in recent years. How did Jason Bourne acquire such a huge audience and critical acclaim? Can a film be both mass entertainment and score high on an artistic scale? How did anti- corporatism and anti-capitalism find its way into mainstream Hollywood? How does all this fit into the marketing strategies of Universal Studios? To summarize: Is there still hope for Hollywood, both aesthetically and ethically? Introduction An unconscious man is picked up by a fishing boat, bullet-riddled and without memory.

  • Year in Film 2007 by Jim Mcmanus
    The Year in Film 2007 By Jim McManus An abusive customer… he wants his steak really rare… and there's chef Catherine Zeta Jones with a raw piece of meat on a butcher's fork. "YOU WANT IT RARE?!" (she emphasizes by slamming fork and meat on the table.) Cut to therapy… hey look, it's Bob Balaban talking to CZJ about anger issues… cut to the car accident. Niece Abigail Breslin says "bye-bye" (crash)… now unmarried, kidless CZJ has a kid and babysitting issues. The babysitter is a goth freak; boy that's both funny and likely – good thing sitting agencies never screen anybody. CZJ is a world-class chef, but serves Miss Breslin a big fish head on a plate (oh, yeah, that's both funny and likely, too)… cut to Bob: "have you tried 'fish sticks'?". CZJ: "I can't believe I'm paying for this." Right with you, sister. Oh, and somewhere in there, Bob eats CZJ's marvelous cooking (guessing she didn't prepare him a big fish head)… cut to new rival chef Aaron Eckhart… cat-fight hint, and then they work together. CZJ cuts a menu 60/40: "you make those dishes". Eckhart: "your half is bigger". Ah, menu envy (funny and likely!)… cheesy music, some voice-over about relationships… raining outside, Abigail Breslin says "Men!" disgustedly (funny and likely!) It's soooooo cute when precocious preteens are relationship- savvy… final cut to Aaron and CZJ alone with wine and a fireplace – uh oh, they're going to KISS – but as CZJ sleepily leans in, Eckhart points out she's on his sweater.

  • Preview Sample Pages from the Bourne Supremacy
    Introduction Webb screamed, falling onto the bed. Then he turned over and stared at the ceiling as lost memories suddenly came back to him. He thought of bodies falling under his gun or his knife. And now he knew the two men within him. One was the man he wanted to be, but for now he had to be the other. David Webb teaches at a small college in Maine, in the United States. His wife has just been kidnapped and now he understands that he will have to become somebody else, somebody he was earlier in his life—the highly-skilled assassin who was known as Jason Bourne. Webb does not want to become Bourne again but he has no choice. In the 1970s, more than ten years before The Bourne Supremacy begins, Webb was working in Cambodiapages for the Central Intelligence Agency. In neighboring Vietnam, the war being fought between the Americans and the North Vietnamese was coming to an end. One day a plane from across the border killed his first wife and their children. Crazy with anger, Webb ran away to Saigon, where he was asked to join a top secret special operations group known as Medusa. While working for Medusa, behindSample enemy lines, Webb met the original Jason Bourne. He killed him, because Bourne was working for the North Vietnamese. Years later, Webb used the name Jason Bourne in a secret operation that went badly wrong. He was shot in the head and lost his memory. However, his employers in the United States thought he had gone out of control and had stolen a great deal of government money.
