Wall-E: Robots 'R Us
Perhaps the most compelling element of Wall-E is its concern with what it means to be human . . .

July 24, 2008The Dark Knight: The Joker Is Wrong
At first glance, the villain seems to be what he claims, someone committed to chaos for chaos' sake . . .
In Defense of The Dark Knight
This review will take an unusual approach...
The Incredible Hulk: Animus Mine
The destructive path carved by Bruce's gargantuan self provides an instructive metaphor in the spiritual and emotional damage wreaked by anger . . .
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Do as I Do
We should demand from students and professors in all educational environments a commitment to performing ideology . . .
Lord of War and Iron Man
Iron Man steps beyond the pale in which Niccol's film is trapped, and risks our credulity by suggesting that exceptional personal transformations do sometimes happen . . .
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Raiders of the Lost Art
You can stop holding your breath now: they didn't ruin it . . .
Rescue Dawn: The Missing . . . Ingredient
When assessing the relative worth of a drama, the first and final test I apply is directed at my own limbic system . . .
The Bourne Ultimatum: Nausea and the Ethics of Cinematic Violence
If a movie makes a large percentage of its viewers physically ill, can it still be considered a success?
The Bourne Identity: Iron Sharpens Iron
This movie suggests that the journey towards self-knowledge requires intimate community.
