...Exhibit A is Transformers, the summer's most anticipated movie event that doesn't end in a number, in which the hero will be played by Peter Cullen, a Canadian voice actor familiar to the teensiest fraction of moviegoers. With Steven Spielberg producing and Michael Bay directing this $150 million effects-ravaganza about dueling alien robot races, the protagonist could have been Will Smith or magazine-cover bait like Justin Timberlake. But Cullen was the voice of the character Optimus Prime in the Transformers TV show, a treasured part of the canon for true fans. (If the phrase "robots...

DECEPTIVELY SMALL Curated by Kimberly Masteller, assistant curator of Islamic and Later Indian Art, the exhibition presents different styles of photography taken by artists of South Asian descent. Paradoxically, the show manages to be too broad and still remain quite small: It has a total of six framed photographs. The show is meant to complement “Overlapping Realms: Arts of the Islamic World...
