Miami is the fourth poorest city in the U.S., mainly because anybody with any money has long since moved out of town. Miami Beach, a separate municipality, has most of the area's prime beaches and luxury resorts, as well as the hip, Art Deco district of South Beach. Outside a thin necklace of fancy hotels, parks and wealthy enclaves lining the waterfront, Miami comprises largely the kind of inner-city neighborhoods that never make it into the tourist brochures. Middle-class flight--first of whites and now of Cubans--has made Miami increasingly a city of struggling, often illegal...
Under the suave direction of Jonathan Frakes, who also plays the Enterprise's second-in-command, the movie glides along with purpose and style. It also allows for a fun detour into a "holographic novel" set in the dear Deco days of Indiana Jones. But it's mainly a three-way tug of souls among Picard, Data and the queen of all the Borg. When she whispers to her onetime conquest Picard, "You can't begin to imagine the life you denied yourself," she opens the movie up to the ache of memory--to a good man's second thoughts...
...right next to HMV in Brattle Square. But getting a seat can still be a struggle. Imagine an audience full of over-achiever grad students whose hauteness depends on seeing Now Voyager one last time. Kendall Square Cinema Hip art flicks, an espresso bar, and faux-art-deco interior make this the most chichi theater in town. After getting off at the Kendall-MIT stop, you have to cut through the Marriot, negotiate a deathly intersection, cross train tracks, and trudge through the dubious and probably health-threatening wastelands and parking lots of Genzyme. Good Luck. Coolidge Corner This...
...Sponge and Spiker. The story then lurches picaresquely amid near catastrophes. Selick gives this all a bit more focus by making sure the early events, including the rhinoceros, resonate throughout the film. He also gives James (winningly played by Paul Terry) a mission: to find his dream city, a Deco-delicious Manhattan. Spider (voiced by Susan Sarandon) here has the melancholy hauteur of a Garbo femme fatale; and the Centipede, obnoxious in the book, is now a Leo Gorcey type (voiced by Richard Dreyfuss), who gets a shot at redemption by fighting a shipful of skeleton pirates straight...
...fact, he was an artist of immense sophistication, the friend of Duchamp, Erik Satie, James Joyce and Ezra Pound. His work, with its flowing contours and obsessively refined surfaces, was one of the main sources for Art Deco style. Imagine the top of the Chrysler Building carved from oak, and you have something very like his sculptural bases. As Rowell points out in the catalog, guests in his Paris studio would be regaled with homemade sheep's milk cheese and a glass of iced champagne--funk and chic together, essential Brancusi. He loved contrasting the rough with the smooth...
