The Bourne Legacy

Apparently Renner isn’t the solution to every problem, as indicated by the lack of energy in this deboot of the Bourne franchise.  Tired story, predictable plotting, Norton’s Strathairn, and plot holes big enough for Paul Greengrass to escape through all conspire to prevent operation Bourne Again from having any success. 

Howl

Pseudo-documentary court hearing /Waltz with Ginsberg, this small but interesting thing does whatever it’s doing well. Strathairn’s confusion and Hamm’s appreciation are equally applicable to the film itself. Franco performs well as he sucks a last drop from Milk’s teat. Animation may better have suited Burroughs than this Clothed Brunch.
