Introduction


Matt Damon is one of Hollywood's top 35 grossing actors of all time. He is an Academy Award winning writer as well as an Academy Award nominated actor. He has received multiple award nominations for his film performances and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Damon has been known to choose a wide variety of roles in his career and this versatility is why he is my favorite actor of all time. The guy has been all over the place from roles in low budget experimental films like "Gerry" to major films such "Saving Private Ryan", "Ocean's Eleven", and "The Bourne Ultimatum".

I have decided to spend the next three months to watch every single credited Damon film and write about them. I am not doing this because I feel I have what it takes to be a qualified movie critic. I am not doing this because I want a huge conglomerate of readers. I am doing this merely for my personal satisfaction. I am a huge fan of Damon and I want to be able to say I have seen all of his films. One thing I greatly admire about Mr. Damon is the fact that through all of his success, he has taken time to focus on his philanthropy and has done a tremendous job.

I think it will be fun to give each movie a grade. This standard for grades has been set below.

Grade A: Worthy to join my vast DVD collection
Grade B: Good movie; Rewatchable; Just not good enough to purchase on DVD
Grade C: Good movie; not rewatchable; not good enough to purchase on DVD
Grade D: Bad movie; not rewatchable; not good enough to purchase on DVD
Grade F: Absolutely horrible
