THE REVIEW CORNER

Starring: Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, and Edward Norton Directed by: Tony Gilroy Screenplay by: Tony Gilroy and Dan Gilroy Based on the novel by Robert Ludlum     At the end of The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), Treadstone, a secret government agency has been exposed by Jason Bourne (Matt Damon in the series), making him one of the government's most wanted.     Now, a similar problem faces another agency called Outcome.  Eric Byer (Edward Norton), the head of the program decides it's time for Outcome to be shut down.  That involves killing all the agents involved in the program along with the doctors monitoring them.     But one agent, Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) refuses to go as quietly as the government wants.  He's placed himself in a similar situation that Jason Bourne put himself in after exposing Treadstone, and that's going to cause people like Byer a bit of a problem.     It feels like we've seen this before, almost exactly.  Remember The Bourne Identity

Starring: Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Biel Directed by: Len Wiseman Screenplay by: Kurt Wimmer and Mark Bomback Based on the short story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick      You may or may not remember that this is a remake of Total Recall (1990).      Rekall, a company that provides visitors with any memory they desire to have.  Want to experience something you'd never do in real life?  Go to Rekall and they'll remember it for you.      After visiting Rekall, factory worker Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), starts thinking he's a spy.  But he knows that he's just a factory worker.  Or does he?  He is now forced to wonder whether the life he lives is real or not.      The story involves a fascinating concept.  I'm a huge fan of films that keep you thinking throughout the whole story.  I like that there isn't any real distinguishing factor between what is real and what is not.  All we know is that Quaid'

Starring: Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, and Jason Sudeikis Directed by: Jay Roach Screenplay by: Chris Henchy and Shawn Harwell      And I thought the actual 2012 presidential election was entertaining.      Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) is North Carolina's 14th district's Congressional representative.  He's been there for a few terms and all he's had to do to win his seat each election is simply sign the form to put him on the ballot.  But now Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis) is running against Brady.  So Brady actually has to campaign against Huggins.  Backed with millions of dollars from the Motch brothers (John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd), can Huggins beat Brady?      You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that this film clearly has parallells to other campaigns both past and present.  They make it so incredibly obvious that it looks like you're watching a fantasy version of what's really happening between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, which i
