...white rock star rapping, we wonder why Wyclef bothered. Shakira appears on “King and Queen,” inspiring hope that the duo will recapture the “Hips Don’t Lie” magic, but her chorus disappoints. It’s devoid of rhythm, insipid and dull. Paul Simon’s weak vocals frankly ruin the otherwise promising “Fast Car.” Without a doubt, the strongest parts of the album are when Wyclef sticks with his soft, introspective vocals and signature blend...

...unexpected visit. Suddenly, Baumbach seems to pour every hateful word he can extract from Kidman’s character into the dialogue, rendering her no longer the frigid matron but the spiteful shrew of the story. She spews acid at everyone from her sister to her own son, seemingly devoid of compassion. The relatable qualities of her character are spoiled, and, while Black and Leigh devolve into the crazies they’re destined to be and Pais’ character is pushed more and more into Kidman’s shadow, the film becomes a confusing, unlikable mess...

...more populist approach, focused on educating Americans about climate change is refreshingly devoid of the muck associated with Washington politics. For over 25 years many scientists and climatologists have held that our environment is headed towards a tipping point, after which it’ll never recover. Until Gore started his (nearly) one-man crusade the public remained largely ignorant and apathetic about this very subject...
