Super Troopers (2001)

This movie is absolutely ridiculous. I laughed like crazy during some parts, while other scenes fell flat. If you thought the "Police Academy" movies were lame, like me, then try Super Troopers. It takes what they were trying to do, gets it totally loaded, then puts it behind the wheel.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)

A worthy follow-up to the original. I like how it incorporated many real life financial scenarios into the plot. I guess that's the big reason Stone felt compelled to do a sequel. Solid performances and storytelling, but nothing that got me overly excited while watching.

The Bourne Supremacy (2004)

A good, not great, sequel by Greengrass. I definitely prefer Doug Liman, the director of the original. Some fantastic action sequences, but the story got away from him. The flow was off and the occasional jerky action sequences couldn't save it.

The Manchurian Candidate (2004)

It walks a thin, dark line between believable and science fiction. While the acting was good, the story wasn't very compelling to me and I was let down with how things wrapped up.
