Mix a dollop of The Bourne Identity, a dash (or two) of Taken, and a pinch of the spy classic Three Days of the Condor (1975), stir it all together, and you get Erased, a thriller whose storytelling ingredients are so familiar that one could watch it with the sound off and still know what's going on. Aaron Eckhart is Ben Logan, a recently widowed private security analyst living in Brussels who awakes one morning to find his office empty, his co-workers in the morgue, and his personal identity wiped away. With his rebellious teenage daughter, Amy (Liana Liberato), in tow, Ben begins dodging assassins. As luck would have it, he's a retired black-ops agent, so, game on. German director Philipp Stölzl proves adept at staging fight scenes in confined spaces, »

“Taken” meets “The Bourne Identity” in “Erased,” a familiar but energetic and entertaining actioner that has rolled into numerous territories since last August under the title “The Expatriate.” Aaron Eckhart toplines as an ex-cia operative on the lam with his teenage daughter from other, villanous espionage elements. Now making a belated, modest U.S. release — starting this Friday on a single Manhattan screen — this slick English-language debut from helmer Philipp Stoelzl (“North Face,” “Young Goethe in Love”) might have gone wider, despite its lack of B.O. names. Still, even minimal theatrical exposure should at least raise its profile for solid exposure in home formats.
Ben Logan (Eckhart) left the CIA — for reasons not explained until well into the proceedings — to work for the Antwerp office of a European company which makes devices that can penetrate the highest-security systems, presumably benefiting good-guy governments. It’s a job he’s held for just a few weeks. »

This week Amazon is offering The Bourne Trilogy -- The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum -- on Blu-ray for a deeply discounted price of $25.00, just click here to pick up your own copy. I'm sure Universal is prepping some sort of Bourne franchise collection to include the recently released Jeremy Renner-led The Bourne Legacy, but if you ask me that's hardly a title worth owning and this collection, which I actually own, doesn't lose any value by not having it. Again, this is Amazon's Deal of the Week and you can buy your own copy by clicking here. »

Warner Bros. is making a couple of smart moves with some release date changes beginning with their 300 sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire, which was originally slated for an August 2 release this year, moving it to March 7, 2014. This places the film on the same weekend as Zack Snyder's first film, which was released back in 2007 and went on to surprise everyone, bringing in $456 million worldwide on a $65 million budget. I haven't seen a budget number for the sequel, but I have to assume they kept it at or very near the budget of the original as it isn't exactly loaded with big name talent. Noam Murro directs the sequel based on a Frank Miller graphic novel, with a story that runs parallel to the story told in 300, this time Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. »

Blood, 2012.
Directed by Nick Murphy
Starring Paul Bettany, Stephen Graham, Mark Strong and Brian Cox.
Synopsis:
A psychological thriller charting the disintegration of a police family as two brothers living in the shadow of their father investigate the murder of a young girl...
Supernatural noir is not usually something you would associate with the UK crime output of recent years. Mockney accents and slapstick humour yes, but intense expressionistic layers of guilt ridden dread? None too often, sadly.
Thankfully then, this new movie from Nick Murphy (The Awakening) manages to address the balance somewhat. Based on writer Bill Gallagher's TV miniseries Conviction, it largely succeeds as a tightly webbed thriller with gothic and psychological horror touches.
Concentrating on the investigation into the death of a teenage girl, the film brings the personalities and internal workings of the two brothers ascribed to the case sharply into focus. Their relationship with »

Apparently, the film has a Bourne connection to it."The film was started around a decade back and at that time it was called Benaam.

The Bourne Identity star returned to Harvard University on Thursday to accept the 2013 Harvard Arts Medal—20 years after dropping out to pursue what would ultimately be a mega-successful Hollywood career. And he took time out to speak to undergraduates not only about what Beantown means to him especially in the wake of last week's bombings, but also why he decided to renew his wedding vows with wife Luciana a couple of weeks ago in a star-studded ceremony on the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia.

To be labelled a ‘character actor’ is something of a double-edged sword. For while it acknowledges you’ve found a niche, it also implies a certain comfort at being typecast; a familiarity in filling the same shoes again and again. And while some will forever coast on a breakthrough role, others will snatch their chance to cement their place in cinema. The list below is comprised exclusively of the latter category. They stand in the shadows, swooping in to steal the scene. Far from relying on the scraps and scripts that fall from the top table, these are the very people for whom ‘difficult’ roles are written. They are the wild cards, the secret weapons; and these seven names in our rogues gallery, having honed their craft to perfection in playing the damaged, devious and downright disturbing, are clearly enjoying themselves in the process.

Before yesterday’s Boston Marathon took a tragic turn when explosions near the finish line claimed the lives of at least three people and injured over 170 more, Matt Damon published an essay reminiscing about watching his father and his brother run the marathon.
The Massachusetts-born actor called the race “a sporting spectacle like no other, overwrought with nerves and excitement” in an excerpt of the essay, which was posted on the Boston Globe’s website on April 14, one day before the bombings in Boston. The full essay is in a book published earlier this month that marked the 125th anniversary of the Boston Athletic Association, »

What do you do when sci-fi seems to be working for your career? You stick with sci-fi, baby.
Hot off a respectable international opening for "Oblivion," Tom Cruise has signed on to battle another alien menace in "Yukikaze," according to Deadline.
"Yukikaze" takes place in the mid-21st century, three decades after an alien force invaded the Earth through a dimensional porthole that appeared over Antarctica. While humans beat back the attack, they form a special combat force to eradicate the alien threat on its home planet.
The film is based on a series of novels by Chohel Kamayashi, who has been referred to as Japan's answer to renowned sci-fi author Isaac Asimov ("I, Robot").
Cruise's "Oblivion," in which he plays a drone repairman traversing a war-torn Earth long since abandoned after decades of war with an alien race, scored over $61 million at the box office this past weekend upon opening in several international markets. »

It's rare I feel the need to post an item announcing the sale of a particular DVD and/or Blu-ray set, but Universal's 100th Anniversary Collection is a pretty swanky item and Amazon is offering both the DVD and Blu-ray editions at an incredibly marked down rate. Included are 25 films, though there is one difference between the DVD and Blu-ray editions (Click Here). Included in both sets are the 24 films listed below, but the Blu-ray set includes the Spanish version of Bela Lugosi's 1931 Dracula while the DVD set includes Schindler's List, which has since been released on Blu-ray following the initial release of this set: Despicable Me Mamma Mia!
