Run, Jason, Run. The Bourne films have taken chases beyond a storytelling technique and made them into the story. This time Jason hurtles through London, Madrid, Moscow, New York, Paris, Tangier and Turin, in search of the identity the CIA took from him. Matt Damon plays a man who survives one impossible situation after another, in a superior action thriller that doesn’t much care who his enemies are, as long as he’s in a big hurry to find them or escape them. With Julia Stiles, Joan Allen, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, Albert Finney.

SNL freshman Andy Samberg is perfectly cast as a young daredevil who dreams of fame. Something, however, always seems to go wrong with his stunts; he’s Evel Knievel on a moped, leading a life resembling an episode of “Jackass.”

The story of Hector Lavoe (Marc Anthony), the godfather of salsa music, and his ascent to stardom and descent into drugs. With his wife Puchi (Jennifer Lopez) at his side, he lives a Jekyll and Hyde existence as a great musician and a pathetic addict, and the movie never gets the two sides into synch. Depressing and inexorable, but with a lot of good music well- performed by Anthony.

Fictionalized speculation about a great romance in Jane Austen’s 20th year. The would-be author (Anne Hathaway) meets a handsome lawyer (James McAvoy) and wonders, if he loses his allowance from his spiteful uncle, she could support them by her writing (mostly still unwritten). Engaging love story in charming Britlit Land (actually Ireland), even if it’s mostly made up and has little to do with the real Jane. With Julie Walters, James Cromwell and Maggie Smith.

A fable in documentary style about the hard lives of polar bears and walruses in the Arctic. Using footage shot over 10 years but edited together to seem to be about the same animals, the film follows Nanu, a polar bear with two cubs, and Seela, a newly-born walrus. They live in a dangerous and harsh environment. More sentimental and contrived than “March of the Penguins,” but effective as family entertainment. Narrated by a folksy Queen Latifah.

Man, Sony must really love teasing us: just a couple days after we got word that rumble-enabled SIXAXIS controllers were leaking out to developers, Sony’s director of corporate communications Dave Karraker told GamePro that the company has “not added rumble [to PS3], and have no announcements regarding this feature.” That’s a non-denial denial, if you ask us — way to be sly, Sony. Karraker also confirmed that updated SIXAXIS controllers with refined motion-sensing features were shipping out, but characterized that as “part of the normal development and evolution of controllers.” Here’s hoping the SIXAXIS evolves itself a rumble unit sooner rather than later.

Are steroids a problem in wrestling? Oh God yeah. They have always been a part of the business. It’s prevalent. But there’s not some big mystery to it. Just open your eyes and it’s there. You can look at a wrestler and pretty much tell. They will be above their weight range, with these big veins. My body weight is around 285lb, depending on how much junk I eat. Even if I was 25 and clean, I could probably only carry 300lb. Yet when I was wrestling I weighed anywhere between 320 and 340lb, because my body was full of water weight…
