   Heheheh.. there ya go.   
      
   There's a motorcycle chase in one of the Bourne movies (can't remember     
   which one) but the assassin is chasing Bourne along the streets, across     
   impossible barriers, and finally under an overpass roadway or something..     
   but the chase scene runs for several l-o-n-g minutes as the fight     
   continues between the riders of both bikes.  Very intense.  The editing     
   work for that sequence had to be a brutal job.

   The 1st JR was an excellent script.  The toughness of the JR character of     
   the books came through well.  The 2nd one seemed a bit too mushy in places     
   wrt to his supposed daughter, but the pair-up worked well.   
      
      
    JA> And Edge of Tomorrow is a HUGE favorite too!!!   
      
   I watched the Edge of Tomorrow after having seeing it mentioned here     
   recently.  It was pretty smart in a time-travel twisty kinda groundhog day     
   sort of way.  Cruise did quite alright.   
      
   For a film involving alien+human cohabitation (or is it?) check out     
   "District 9" from 2009.  It wasn't anything like what I expected. The     
   storyline was smart (a message about alien+human coexistance) and the     
   special effects were amazing.
