‘Bourne’ flick is ultimately un-American

When “The Simpsons Movie” turns out to be more realistic than “The Bourne Ultimatum,” you know something is up. Nevertheless, the thriller is a big hit, proving once again that film audiences now want live-action cartoons rather than crisp, realistic films like “The Ipcress File” or “The French Connection.”
For those of you not familiar with the Bourne series, Matt Damon plays a CIA agent who becomes involved in the “Program” (as in “get with the”). This sinister plan results in Damon being brainwashed, making him a lean, mean killing machine with no personal memories. Thus, he can murder without conscience, kind of like what Hollywood producers often do to scripts.

I haven't seen any of the Borner Identity series. But, thanks to the Falafel King, I will rent the two movies over the Labor Day weekend. And let's see how that movie according to Falafel-in-chief is "Un-American."
It's a movie! Most educated Americans know it's a movie, so Falafel guy didn't like it, so what. It's entertainment not a documentary.
O'Reilly is nuts and this shows it. I saw both movies and Peaches told me about the last one. Jason Bourne was set up by the US government. O'Reilly should stick to movies he can understand like the Simpson movie, Shrek, Toys, Rat-A-2-E and Hoot. Now he should stay away from the Potter movies he would have to read the book to understand the movie and that's not possible of the Falafel King.
When the New President takes office Murdoch might clean how and O'Reilly will be looking for employment.
Falafel King may get desperate and have Harry Potter as his next pet project. You never know. LOL!
