The Golden Compass 
Andy Stilp 01/03/2008 Film "From a source text as rich and as magnificent as Philip Pullman's novel, Weitz has produced a film every bit its equal, all the while deftly handling the elephant in the room: What do we do about the whole God thing?" |
The Creators of Nathan Barley
Matthew Phelan 01/02/2008 Features "Nathan Barley follows its titular character — a twenty-something DJ, guerilla filmmaker and doltishly exuberant clothes pony — as he ruins the life of his involuntary mentor, Dan Ashcroft. Ashcroft has just published a screaming jeremiad in an urban lifestyle magazine eviscerating exactly the kind of dense narcissists — like Barley — who almost immediately begin lauding him as a genius." |
Reading Jacques Barzun This Winter
Andrew Stout 12/29/2007 Books "With all the unbearable winter nights ahead, maybe it's finally time to take on the four dozen-plus books written and edited by bestselling cultural critic and historian Jacques Barzun, who turned 100 on Nov. 30. OxyContin still has your vote as a coping mechanism for the cold? Then maybe a carefully selected sampling of Barzun will do instead." |
Starfighter: Disputed Galaxy
James Norton 12/24/2007 Games "Combat is convincing and often entertaining. There are little 'flashbulb moments' that make it all worthwhile; you're ambushed by five alien fighters, for instance. Just before your shield fails, you activate your proximity blast weapon, and WHAM, all the fighters are toast! WOO!" |
