No, didn't see Bourne Legacy. Last thing I saw him in was the newer version of True Grit which I enjoyed very much. I guess the last thing I watched recently was Hunger Games which I rented on my kindle. Can't remember when I actually went to the movie theater to watch a movie. Usually just rent them and watch on kindle especially, if I'm going somewhere like Vegas. Just download them and watch them on the plane.

I think the last couple of movies that I saw that I really liked were George Clooney in The Descendants and Brad Pitt in Money Ball. I sometimes get on some strange kicks with movies. For a while, I was watching a lot of sub-titled foreign movies like The Kite Runner and the Stieg Larsson trilogy The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, etc. Read those books also. Saw a very intense movie titled The Stoning of Saraya M that was absolutely haunting. Iranian director I think and some Iranian American actors. Not sure where it was made, but it was a courageous movie about the horrifying practice in some muslim countries of stoning for infidelity.

The Descendants is adapted from a novel- I'm glad you mentioned it; I meant to put it on my library list after I saw the movie and I forgot. Thanks for the reminder! I liked the movie, too. I wasn't a George Clooney fan for the longest time, but the older he gets, the more I like him as an actor. I thought he was terrific in The Descendants.

Pitt was excellent in that movie and my pick for the Oscar...IMO his best role ever..I can't remember last time i was at the movies, maybe 15 years or more..I've had netflix for about 4 years and before that Movie Gallery...Think i've seen every movie ever made...lol...we had a movie thread in the Esoteric Central forum several months ago...i've been building a list of movies that i liked over the years, still adding to it...will put it up soon...have to get Michael mclem0822 over here, he's a movie buff too..
A movie he put me on was really off=beat, you remember Frazier's brother
David Hyde Pierce, he's the star in this one The Perfect Host (2011).kept me guessing...check it out...

I think I saw that movie The Perfect Host on netflicks, but I didn't watch it. Almost too much on netflicks. Hard to choose what to watch. An interesting movie I saw back awhile ago was this movie Memento with Guy Pearce. Absolutely make you crazy to watch it.

Memento is on netflicks. It is like nothing you've ever seen before. After I watched I said WTF did I just watch. My son recommended it. Dummy me, had to have him explain it to me after I watched it.
