I like to think of myself as a storyteller. Mostly I tell stories about knitting.

The Campaign

There was quite a bit of humor, but there was a lesson as well. I think the lesson was supposed to be that it would be nice to have Dylan McDermott for a stylist.

This movie wasn’t quite what I expected, but educating the American people about the political system/machine by way of a summer comedy is not a bad idea.

Bourne Legacy

While some of the action was ah-mazing, the story seemed placed in between the action so they could put Bourne in the title.

They should have ripped out all the Jason Bourne references and showed more of how Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) got from one place to the other. Maybe he was a shape-shifter?

If I’m ever being chased by people and I need to beg strangers for help, I think I should try to channel Rachel Weisz. She’s very convincing.

note: Wear a motorcycle helmet because this movie was totally unrealistic. I was pleased to see that Jeremy Renner was wearing appropriate footwear while riding.
C+
Ps. Updated to add that I’m not a huge Edward Norton fan, he’s been a tad skinny in the past, but he has NEVER looked as good as he did in Bourne Legacy. I didn’t know what his character was talking about half the time (he just spouted Bourne buzzwords), but good for him that an extra few pounds turned him from creepy bad guy to movie star imo.

    I kiiiiinda wanted to see The Campaign. Kinda.

    Now? Kinda not so much. I really figured it’d be one of those movies where all the best parts were in the trailer.
