Mostly Martha: This is a German movie about food, family and love. I really liked this movie, especially the fact that one of the characters was Italian and thus spoke in Italian some of the time...I doubt that will be an attraction for most people so I will just say that it's a nice romantic movie.

No Reservations: Okay so this is the American version of Mostly Martha so in contrasting and comparing these movies, I think on the whole No Reservations stayed fairly true to Mostly Martha, however it was Americanized, it's happier, and a bit more cheesy, it feels like Catherine Zeta-Jones is going through the motions of the character but she's also still playing Catherine Zeta-Jones, if that makes sense at all. I think I slightly lean towards Mostly Martha as my favorite of the two, it seemed a lot more sincere and real, not so contrived. I did appreciate things that seemed to be explained a little bit better in No Reservations. Both movies are pretty good but like I said, I lean towards Mostly Martha.

The Bourne Supremacy: The Bourne saga goes on, with more treachery, more amazing fights, more outwitting the bad guys and more insane car chases. This is the last of the books that I actually read, the books are rather hard to read and the movies really more make up their own plot and just use the character and title. I'm a fan of Bourne, this isn't my favorite of the movies but they're all well done and quite impressive.
