The Bourne Legacy

Went to see The Bourne Legacy and loved it! Loved it even more than the previous Bourne films with Matt Damon. Maybe because Aaron and Marta are a much better couple than Jason and Marie ever were. Yeah, I've never been a fan of Marie. Didn't shed one tear when she was offed. Marta on the other hand...

Wow! Rachel Weisz was simply fantastic. Marta was completely out of her element, shaken and desperate, but when push came to shove, she protected Aaron with all her might. I also loved that TPTB chose an age appropriate actress for the part, no wet behind the ears girl. She and Jeremy Renner had great chemistry. He kicked major ass! And yet, when it came to feelings, he was believable without overdoing it. I actually believed that these two would make a great couple!

Before I continue with the spoilery stuff, I have a couple of things to say about the negative reviews that are being posted on the net and about some of the BS they spout:

a) There's little action/less action than in the previous movies: Not true. The movie is nicely paced with a little downtime between major action scenes. There's just as much action as in Matt Damon's films.

b) The plot doesn't make sense: Not true if you've seen the first trilogy - if you didn't, WHY are you watching a movie called The Bourne LEGACY, knowing it's the 4th in a series? The plot makes perfect sense and you don't even have to strain your brain that hard, you just need to actually pay attention.

Don't trust the negative reviews, friends. It's a really, really good movie that stays true to the previous trilogy yet goes its own way.

( Spoilers! )

I would give this movie 9/10. It was so, so good! I hope they make a sequel and that Marta doesn't kick it like Marie did. I love Marta!

For some reason, I'm madly in love with this picture of JGL...



There's just something so... appealing and stylish about it. I would love to see him with his hair longer again, he looked so lovely...

Podfic rec: Inception

"Don't Feed Me, Seymour" by gyzym, read by emiliana | Arthur/Eames | Arthur can't cook: Eames pretends to enjoy anyways. | ~19min.

It's… there's… ketchup on it. Eames thinks it might be an attempt at meatloaf, but it's very difficult to be sure. Which, just--meatloaf. You just shove some meat in a pan, don't you, basically? Even just meat in a pan would be fine. Eames would happily eat plain meat in a pan.

He pokes at it tentatively. It… jiggles.

Trying valiantly not to cower in fear, Eames take a bite. The jiggling does not actually cease once it is in his mouth.

LOL! The jiggling part was where I finally lost it! LOL!
