I hate sequels but admit I will go check out that Bourne film. I love that series

 

Heck yeah, I love those films....I never thought I'd say it (before I saw the first one), but Matt Damon is PERFECT in that role. I love the fact that they are filmed primarily in Europe, too. Can't wait for the next one!

 

Mark: Thanks, as always! Looking forward to reading about what's on tap this month :blink:

The Mist will be a great film! That was always one of my favorite King storys- should be scary

 

Wow, was that book out back in the 80s? I seem to remember back in the day, I was all excited about this new Stephen King book that had been turned into a book on tape....but the recording was in "3-D". I'm almost positive that I bought this and listened it, though I can't remember if it was "The Mist" or something else.

 

Have you ever herad of this?
