...clever! How witty! How irreverrently inappropriate! Gee, guys, you sure know how to spice up life at Harvard. Why don't you just try to throw rotten tomatoes the next time? It would be a little more honest...
...most amusing conversation du soir was with a Harvard admissions officer, who started the evening with one drink in his hand. He told us of the clever t-shirt that freshmen in Massachusetts Hall had once designed: "The President Works Under Us." We laughed pleasantly. By the time he had had a few more Tanqueray and tonics, he was describing his favorite pickup lines on women in Guadeloupe, penile implants and how he had once offered his rear-end to a man.

For one thing, it surfaces at the end of a 15-year line of dark sci-fi films; imagine Blade Runner inside a Tron video game. For another, the movie tries for the same combination of facetiousness and majesty that Batman Forever mined only two weeks before. Dredd, written by Michael De Luca, William Wisher and Steven de Souza, plays like an instant clone of the Gotham Gothic...
