The Bourne Identity

For some reason, I'd seen The Bourne Ultimatum (the final movie in the Bourne trilogy) before I'd seen The Bourne Identity (which I just watched tonight).  Standard spy action movie.  The scene where Bourne is climbing around the side of a building was a pretty impressive stunt job, though.  

What is it about trilogies?  That is, the number 3?  Why 3 movies all the time, I wonder?  I guess it's just a good number.  Any more is a bit much...like 7 Harry Potter books/movies (8 movies, actually).  Ridiculous!  Who can even remember the first one by the end of it all?  There are a lot more Jason Bourne books, but they never made them into movies.

Three is just the magic number, I guess.

Mission: Impossible

After watching Lethal Weapon  I figured I was kind of on a roll and I watched Mission: Impossible, too.  ...don't ask. They're connected somehow in my mind.  I actually remember watching old reruns of the Mission Impossible TV show when I was a kid.  I don't much remember them, though.  This movie was whatevz.  The music was sometimes too "tell the audience how to feel"-y.  But epic scenes on the top of moving trains? They may never get old.  Don't think I'll end up watching the other MI movies.
