From the breathless start to the wholly satisfying finish, The Bourne Ultimatum is, well, the ultimate action movie experience. Plenty of suspense, intrigue, and fight scenes that somehow make Matt Damon even sexier than ever all add up to the most exciting and tensely gripping movies of the summer.
From the instant The Bourne Ultimatum begins, the shaky camerawork makes the viewer feel rushed and frantic.

The Bourne movies are action flicks that I can get behind. What with the high-speed chases, clever plots to elude the authorities and Matt Damon (who I enjoy watching despite my suspicion that he's not quite the sharpest tool in the shed — sorry, Pop!) looking cute while fighting the bad guys, there's enough stuff going on to keep me engaged.
So the fact that this new, full-length trailer for The Bourne Ultimatum has me excitedly awaiting the August 3 release is no big surprise, but it is a happy one.

Elle Magazine just got so much cooler: The women's magazine is getting into the production business, and it's kicking off a series of "creative projects" with a short film directed by Julia Stiles and starring Zooey Deschanel.

The film debuts on May 8 on the Sundance Channel.
