...loves her, duh! But all the while, the viewer—at least this viewer, anyway—can’t help but notice that he’s fondling her left breast with his pistol. This scene epitomizes the film—serious moral questions float at the periphery, but at the core, there’s little more than pornography. Verhoeven wants to stimulate his audience on both intellectual and sexual levels. Unfortunately, he succeeds in doing neither; the grotesquery of using sex to keep viewers engaged while he fashions facile moral dilemmas is all too apparent...
...subsequent release, Brock’s pained yelp has become a triumphant battle cry for the legions of kids willing to dance and drink their sorrows away. Modest Mouse has been swept into the mainstream, almost jumping the shark with 2004’s surprise hit “Float On,” which fueled a mini-van commercial and a Kidz Bop video.

...vetting companies is hardly traditional. To float on the LSE's main market, a company normally needs a three-year business record, a minimum market cap and shareholder approval for big acquisitions or disposals; NASDAQ and NYSE have similar hurdles.

I like the dialectic of transience and framing.” And like her work, artist, scholar, and writer Boym defies simple classification. “I think that being a serious...
...need to know about shaheeds or Bosnian war camps to empathize with the middle-aged mother working night shifts at a seedy club in order to support her daughter. Zbanic believes that simplicity will triumph. Indeed, she does not preach through her characters, but rather lets the message float to the surface by the end of the film, aided by a bemoaning song about Sarajevo. The film focuses on the relationship of the single mother and daughter: Esma needs to pay Sara’s imminent school trip fees—a whopping sum of 200 euros?...
