I enjoy a broad range of movies and go to the theater every week or two now that I am retired. The thing that bothers me recently is too, too much action in my favorite action movie dynasties. The last couple of Mission Impossibles and Jason Bourne movies have been non stop chases etc without enough storyline/dialogue/cleverness. I am exhausted at the end of them. I love a good car chase scene, but it now just too much. I want little more story woven in between the miraculous feats!
