Movie Review: The Bourne Trilogy (Blu-Ray)

 

I know I'm a little late on this but I've only recently finished watching all the Bourne movies starring Matt Damon.

The Bourne Trilogy is certainly a must-watch film series for all movie fans alike -- great story, amazing action, and highly entertaining.  You really don't care about Jason Bourne too much in way that you do when Old Yeller dies. No one can relate to being an covert international assassin.  The movies are so well made that the story-telling just grabs to want to know what happens to him.  Jason Bourne certainly beats James Bond in my books.

It's also a great movie for everyone to watch (with the exception of very young children). The blu-ray discs are also jam-packed with special features for hours and hours of trivia and commentary on the series.

Movies like these certainly makes our investment in our Sharp Aquos 42" HDTV and Playstation 3 worth it.

Why Do Women Cry at Movies?

I have to admit - I've cried at movies before.  But it really takes a touching story for me to open the flood gates. 

My wife and I went on a well-deserved date to watch "Time Traveler's Wife' today.  She's been asking for weeks to watch it and I promised her we would watch it on her birthday weekend.

I won't spoil the movie for those who still want to see it but it was definitely a weird one.  You could poke fun at so many elements of the story.  You really had to leave your brain at the door and just let yourself be 'swept away' by the story.

My wife shed tears as the other women (and maybe some men) as the love story unraveled. So I asked my wife - "Why did you cry?".  I was curious to know what part of her life she related the story to.  Obviously - I'm not a time traveler.  She tells me, "I just don't want you to go away". 

I guess when I see my wife cry at movies love stories - I should be happy.
