...expression on face, plays the arrogant Rich Kid who loses it all so [the] thief sans trust fund ends up with his loot. The rich old Social Scientists who set both of them up want to settle the old Nature versus Nurture debate, where Nature means playing the blind beggar to get spending money and Nurture seems to mean stiff suits and wood panelling. It's too predictable to waste time with the ending and too difficult to give Murphy and Ackroyd credit for carrying a tired concept to first-rate comedy...
Although such blind repetition may be sufficient for commercial applications, says Lozano-Perez, it does not exploit the full potential of the robot. He hopes to construct robots that need only general instructions, instead of the highly specified directions that present-day robots require. His creations would then by themselves identify needed parts, convey them to pre-ordained locations, and work them around--as a human might--until they fit properly...
Aside from creating a media event, Prince Charles' arrival will probably blind most who would even consider questioning a snub to Reagan.

...Nelligan manages to redeem herself with bombast, Malkovich as her less-than-saintly son is an utter bombastic disappointment. Where Malkovitch was superb in earlier off-beat roles as the photographer in The Killing Fields and the blind boarder in Places in the Heart, his portrayal of Gage is shamefully one-sided and wholly unappealing. Brooding both in his personal and professional lives, he would seem an unlikely candidate for the type of altruistic soul-searching chronicled in the book and the film. Even his rigorous investigative reporting, which includes pulling a gun on his mother's executioner, would seem...
