Good Movie & Story! - Sets Series Up for Possible Bourne & Cross Partnership!
17 August 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I think the people who basically SLAMMED this movie because Matt Damon wasn't in it are way off base. Matt Damon wanted to take a break and basically thought that his story line had finished it's course, but this script takes place in almost the same time-line as the third movie, plus opens up a lot a possibilities on where the story can go from here.

With the introduction of another covert group inside the CIA who is trying to kill agents and skirt USA Intelligence rules and congressional oversight, they have a good start on another trilogy! How? This movie shows that Pamela Landy, who looked like she was going to be a HERO after the Treadstone fallout, is now looking to take a serious fall and be charged with treason!

I could imagine Jason Bourne coming out of hiding to either prevent her conviction or help her escape. Also, if the people responsible for killing his girlfriend (Marie) and trying to kill him are now allowed to keep their jobs and face no jail time then that would also be enough motivation to finally take them down for good!

It would be great to have the now fully med-free "Super-Soldier-Spy" Aaron Cross join Bourne on this mission to take down these two rogue CIA/NSA groups. I just hope they would film two movies at the same time to complete the story arc, because I wouldn't want to wait another 6 years for them to complete this story arc if they make it a trilogy!

PS: I was going to give this a 8/10 score, but so many people are trashing this Movie I gave it an extra point!

Upstairs Downstairs (2010–2012)
9/10
This is a GREAT Program! Ignore the negative reviewers!!!
24 April 2011
Those that find fault in this program are either being too critical or stuck in the past. They want the original show, but that shows style was stuck in the TV world of 1974 and would not work today in 2010. The only reason I didn't give the new series a 10/10 was that Season 1 was only three episodes. I think the writers and producers were right to set the story in three settings (Upstairs, Downstairs, & the Events of the World both groups are effected by). I have learned more on England's pre-WW2 history from show than I did from the World @ War series. I won't give away any spoilers, but for those who haven't seen the whole series you will need some Kleenex for a scene involving Sir Hallam in the third episode, which caught me completely off-guard! For those who say 'Downton Abbey' is a better show is missing the point. They are BOTH great shows, but Downton Abbey takes place before WWI, like the original Upstairs /Downstairs series. This was 20 years before the new Upstairs/Downstairs and England after WWI mark the end of Edwardian English society and led to the changes seen in the new U/D series. Finally, I can't believe they are only going to give us 6 episodes for season #2 and not at least nine! Fortunately for those of us who LOVE the new series it has achieved great viewership rating and reviews so hopefully they will expand it in season three.
