Matt Damon looked perfectly handsome on the NYC set of The Adjustment Bureau this morning. Last week he filmed with Mayor Bloomberg , who makes a cameo in the movie, and this time he was with his costar Anthony Mackie. Damon's The Informant! was well reviewed and opened at a respectable second place at the box office . Matt still takes time for his charity work including today stopping by Clinton's...

I had seen it once...
