END MOODS/CURRENTS

| Entry | Went to watch it tonight w/ the guys. It was a last minute decision, I have been stressing out with work and moving and getting ready for my Japan trip, but things went better today than I expected related to work so when the opportunity came up, I realized I could afford to relax and unplug for at least two hours...

I'm not going to try and write a long review for the movie... its pretty entertaining, basically more of the same as Borne Identity and Borne Supremacy. Lots of action and intrigue and cutting between some CIA control room with a guy shouting orders and some action packed chase scenes with Matt Damon magically being ready for everything at just the last second.

In this case things got a little bit too over to top for me a few times... a few too many huge coincidences happen (ie: girl runs for five blocks manages to find one open door and runs up several flights of stairs, guy comes along five minutes later and randomly happens to come into the exact same floor of the exact same building... Jason Bourne magically happpens to figure all this out and jump in at the last second (to que up another fight scene, of course!)

I remember liking the 1st one a lot more than the 2nd one, mostly because I felt the second one was shot rather poorly, lots of blurry, confused shots with fast cuts to try to make it look like there was more action going on (or something). it really bugged me after a while. This one was significantly better in that respect.

Although I enjoyed the fights, chases and car scenes, some of the dialogue stuff got a little boring (i was worried about nodding off!) maybe I need more sleep!

I'll give it a 7/10. (doh, this review still ended up being kinda long!) :-P
