⇒ bourne 3:this time it's personal!

That'd be the title of the movie if it were put together in the 80's. Probably...

I saw bourne ultimatum yesterday--was ok. The trilogy does get progressively worse, though not by much. It could really have benefited from Doug Liman's direction though. I hate the damn 'shaky' cam! There were two outstanding sequences of the movie--which I won't spoil...otherwise, the movie wasn't as meaningful or strong in storyline as it's predecessors.

Identity: 8.5/10
Supremacy: 7.5/10
Ultimatum: 7.0/10

squash was rough--got thrashed today. I only won 1 game the whole day!
I need to:
1. restore my fitness--it kept me competitive before and was a key part of my game.
2. improve my technique--particularly the backhand--this is the weakest part of my game--I can't quite make the ball go where I want it to, so this is what I need. To win tactically, I need better shot control.

Watched land of the dead recently. Not bad--not as good as 'Dawn' (orig.) but certainly not bad. The gore is crazy!
