The Bourne Supremacy is a fine summer spy flick which shows off why we love exciting man-on-the-run mysteries and also why they are forgettable. The contradiction between escapist air-conditioned entertainment and smartly executed thriller is happily ignored in this tightly edited film. While there are no substantial characters to speak
Done this week???
Maybe, just maybe, the job will be done by Friday. Well, at least all the significant work -- finishing touches may never be done. But, as you can see, the bar is done and looks stunning. ...the slate doesn't have grout yet and I'll replace the white outlets with stainless
