...Arnold, I am criticizing the director--Paul Verhoeven of Robocop fame--for failing to make this flick different from any other Arnold movie.

But this batch has been packaged in a way that could be groundbreaking. They are part of Persona, the most ambitious new entry in a small but blooming field...
