Best known as a former guitarist and contributing member of The Rolling Stones Mick Taylor has worked with many famous names over his 40 year career including Jack Bruce and Bob Dylan. The sophisticated jazz- and blues-influenced guitar licks Taylor added to such classic albums as Sticky Fingers (1970) gave the Stones an added dimension they lacked before and after him. He added his famous vibrato effect to the blues lead guitar line on Sway and handled most of the guitars on the quietly majestic Moonlight Mile. Perhaps Taylor's best-remembered Stones work was the Santana-like lead guitar in the jam break of the jazzy Can't You Hear Me Knocking.

Good enough to suggest long-term franchise potential, The Bourne Supremacy is a thriller fans will appreciate for its well-crafted suspense, and for its triumph of competence over logic (or lack thereof). Picking up where The Bourne Identity left off, the action begins when CIA assassin and partial amnesiac Jason Bourne (a role reprised with efficient intensity by Matt Damon) is framed for a murder in Berlin, setting off a chain reaction of pursuits involving CIA handlers (led by Joan Allen and the duplicitous Brian Cox, with Julia Stiles returning from the previous film) and a shadowy Russian oil magnate. The fast-paced action hurtles from India to Berlin, Moscow, and Italy, and as he did with the critically acclaimed Bloody Sunday, director Paul Greengrass puts you right in the thick of it with split-second editing (too much of it, actually) and a knack for well-sustained tension. It doesn't all make sense, and bears little resemblance to Robert Ludlum's novel, but with Damon proving to be an appealingly unconventional action hero, there's plenty to look forward to. --Jeff Shannon
