...Grace (but with the illegal immigrants forced to slaughter meat instead of serving as mules for hard drugs). But in fictionalizing McDonald's as Mickey's while still trying to make all the points the book does, Schlosser and Linklater can't breathe life into any of the characters, content to create stick figures...

...There's nothing as sexy as a tease and Gore probably knows that his dance of the seven veils does more to heighten the movie's profile than the movie could ever do for his. It's about global warming, for goodness' sakes. A significant portion of its visual content consists of charts. It's the concert video only Al Gore could be the star of.

...Microsoft says Urge represents its closest collaboration yet with a content provider, and the service launches with a beta version of Windows Media Player 11.
