The Bourne Marathon!

Okie, I must admit that I got interested with Bourne Legacy because part of it was shot in the Philippines.



The Bourne Legacy was the fourth movie based on the Robert Ludlum novels.

This is one big-time Hollywood production that was shot in the Philippines, where the Philippines was part of its storyline.  According to MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino the film included the following places:

- Intramuros
- Navotas Fishport
- Marikina Market, San Andres Market
- Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard
- Ayala Avenue
- Pasay Taft
- Jones Bridge

I know it has been showing for quite some time now but when we decided to watch it we thought that it would be best to understand the previous movies first.  Again, I have to be honest that I haven't seen any of the Bourne movies before.

Maybe because I am not a big fan of action films.

So, when we had the Raya Holiday, we grabbed this opportunity to watch the Bourne Films and at the same time had our sleep over at our friend's place at The Istara Condo.

These movies were shown two - three years apart, we watched it over night! How cool it is to see it's continuity without being confused!

Now, we are off to see The Bourne Legacy and I am pretty sure that we will not only look for the action scenes but we will also look forward in seeing areas in the Philippines. :D
