Watching movies on a midweek afternoon is all that it's cracked up to be. And more. The lack of a crowd is awesome.

Granted, it wasn't as awesome as the last time I did it 7 years ago when my boss took a few of us to watch Pitch Black. I was just starting out then and thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Never happened again though.

I went to see The Bourne Ultimatum this afternoon with Alex.

It was pretty good. After 3 of them, you start to recognize the formula. Hand-to-hand fight sequence (no music so it's grittier), multiple bad guy takedowns (several of those), car chase with lots of damage (trail of carnage in NYC, check), foot chase using oh-so-clever evasive maneuvers (check, check, check). I lost count after a while, but it sure felt like there were a lot of chase sequences. Exciting, yes. But they're always chasing each other. It was getting a bit old by the end.

I was entertained. It's a good addition to the Bourne series of well done action-spy movies.
