The Bourne Supremacy is a 2004 spy mystery thriller film loosely based on the Robert Ludlum novel of the same name. [1]

THE BOURNE SUPREMACY (3+ outta 5 stars) Nifty follow-up to “The Bourne Identity”, one of the best action-thrillers to come out in recent years. [2]

The Bourne Supremacy re-enters the shadowy world of expert assassin Jason Bourne (Damon), who continues to find himself plagued by splintered nightmares from his former life. [4]

Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) escapes from assassins hot on his trail in “The Bourne Supremacy.” [5]

When Jason Bourne is framed for a botched CIA operation he is forced to take up his former life as a trained assassin to survive. [2]

The Bourne Supremacy is the second Jason Bourne novel written by Robert Ludlum, first published in 1986. [...] Over the course of the book he regained his memory with the help of a Canadian economist, Marie, and later found that he was previously an operative from the famed Special Activities Division of the Central Intelligence Agency in an elite project in Southeast Asia and Vietnam codenamed Medusa. [6]

It is a spy film for adults and it avoids over the top pyrotechnics and jokey one-liners, and instead delivers a mature, intelligent thriller. [3]

It was the sequel to Ludlum’s bestseller The Bourne Identity (1980) and precedes Ludlum’s final Bourne novel, The Bourne Ultimatum (1990). [6]

Unlike, say, the James Bond films, which are loaded with product placements and pyrotechnics, and which gravitate toward famous tourist attractions like the Millennium Dome and the Eiffel Tower, the Jason Bourne movies are filmed in a more naturalistic style, and are grounded in more mundane yet familiar locations’train stations, hotels, and housing projects that are believable precisely because they don’t seem to have been dressed up for a movie. [7]

Universal Pictures presents a film directed by Paul Greengrass. [5]

Compelling use of exotic worldwide locations and the muscular cinematic edge brought by vanguard director Paul Greengrass (writer/director of Bloody Sunday) maintain the aggressive style and fresh, non-traditional perspective established in The Bourne Identity: The Bourne Supremacy is the latest entry in a refreshingly new breed of that time-honored genre, the espionage thriller. [...] The Bourne Identity Following the smash worldwide success of 2002’s The Bourne Identity, Universal Pictures brings the second installment of best-selling author Robert Ludlum’s series to the screen with Matt Damon returning as trained assassin Jason Bourne in The Bourne Supremacy. [3]

When last we saw him, that branch had been shut down and his boss (Chris Cooper) bumped off, and Bourne himself had turned his back on his former life and settled down to a life “off the grid” with Marie (Franka Potente), the German woman who not only helped him stay one step ahead of his former colleagues but also humanized him, making him less of a killing machine and more of a person.

There was the time he pulled a log no draft horse could budge, the day only he had the beauty, spirit and manners to carry President James Monroe on a muster-day parade ground; and the time he outran the most winning racehorse central Vermont had ever known, at least until that day. [1]

Overall Dr. Hannah felt that Deeds is suitable as a light riding horse (trails, low-level dressage, etc) with maintenance. [2]

Justin Morgan was a living legend. [1]

Deeds was purchased site unseen from a dealer in Oregon by his former owner in July as an eventing prospect. [2]

Born in 1789, Justin Morgan started life as a small, rough-coated colt known as “Figure.” [1]

Deeds (He is Indeed) is an 12 year old Canadian-bred TB gelding, bay with three socks, 16.2h, who raced until he was 9. [2]

The little giant that was Justin Morgan started it all and provided this popular breed with tremendous courage, disposition, and substance for over 200 years. [3]

While most breeds develop by breeding horses of similar characteristics to each other, Justin Morgan’s ability to pass his characteristics to his offspring for generations to come allowed this single stallion to found an entire breed in his likeness. [...] In 1791, he left his birthplace in Springfield, Massachusetts with his new owner, the soft-spoken schoolteacher Justin Morgan, by whose name the stallion eventually became known. [...] While the offspring of Justin Morgan were taming the wilderness and building the country, they were also creating the standards by which other American breeds would become known. [1]

In barns and show rings across the country, the Morgan show horses flash by with heads high, eyes bright, and nostrils wide - Morgan quality showing in every hair on their gleaming, muscular bodies. [3]

In the manner of so many heroes, he began as an unremarkable colt and became the father of an entire breed of horses recognized for quality and dependability. [1]

Brussels Griffons: the most honest dog breed review you’ll ever find. [3]

Except for coat, there is no difference between the two. [4]

Because they are judged by weight rather than by shoulder height, proper proportioning is essential to determine whether a dog is too fat, too slim, or too tall for its size. [...] Member clubs of the F?d?ration Cynologique Internationale recognise three separate breeds with similar standards. [5]

Its coat should look rather like a Pug or Boston Terrier. [...] Identical in standard except for coat and colour differences, in some standards they are considered varieties of the same breed, much like Belgian Sheepdogs. [5]

This overall thrust of this chick flick doesn’t stray far from formula, but the filmmakers fill Under the Tuscan Sun with enough smart casting and unorthodox flourishes to keep things interesting far longer than they might have. [1]

“…Under the Tuscan Sun isn’t badly made despite some overly aggressive cutting.” [2]

In Under the Tuscan Sun, she brings the lyrical voice of a poet, the eye of a seasoned traveler, and the discerning palate of a cook and food writer to invite readers to explore the pleasures of Italian life and to feast at her table. [3]

With that in mind, Patti gives Frances a ticket for a two-week tour of the Tuscany region of Italy; while there, Frances finds a dilapidated old villa. [1]

A widely published poet as well as a prolific food and travel writer, she has written for the New York Times, House Beautiful, and Food and Wine. [3]
