He remembers all the old tricks and even develops a few new ones. Bourne continues to execute amazing escape tactics in order to break away from a gory demise. After a run around the world dealing with old and new antagonists, Bourne once again solves the puzzle. “The Bourne Supremacy” was everything it was supposed to be. Though slightly predictable, the fast-paced, action-packed movie held its own against its prequel, “The Bourne Identity.” Playing an explosive role. Matt Damon excels in the con tinued character of ex-CIA asset Bourne. Franka Potente returns as Marie, the key to Bourne’s return to his past. Nikky (Julia Stiles) and Ward Abbot (Brian Cox) revisit the screen as well. Two new characters are introduced to the vicious scheme: Pamela Landy (Joan Allen), a CIA agent, and Kirill (Karl Urban), a competitive hit man. While the storyline of the movie is entertain ing, the quality of the film is not as enjoyable. The cameras continuously shake, which takes away needed focus on some items and even makes the movie difficult to watch at times. The: scenes are compelling and heart-racing funi audience while at the same time containing prising relief about the outcome. The physical aspect of the film wasnottkfc L0ND enjoyable factor.

Williams, of the 101st Airborne Division, began testifying late Tuesday afternoon in the sec ond day of his court-martial. He is charged with armed robbery and willful dereliction of duty for allegedly allowing his soldiers to consume alcohol. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison. On Tuesday, Williams’ attorney argued the vehicle was taken only after Williams’ lieutenant instruct ed soldiers to find him a vehicle, and that it was the lieutenant who came up with the cover story that the SUV was found abandoned. In testimony Wednesday, Williams also said he saw commanders drink ing alcohol in Iraq and thought it was OK. He said when he allowed his sol diers to drink, he watched their weap ons and made sure other non-drinking soldiers were providing security. He said he only consumed alco hol once in Iraq. "It was my under standing that moderate use was tolerated through my experience with other units," Williams said.
