...gizmo down the stairs. This was an unhappy event. It survived, but with a fat, thumb-shaped dead zone on the screen, a reminder of my negligence every time I can't read the end of an e-mail. It's like that tiny scar on your little girl's cheek where the swing hit her because you turned away for a second. There must be some natural law, that the smaller something is, the more emotional space it takes up, the more time and energy it absorbs...
...film’s well shot. In particular, bright colors create a sense of easy-going warmth in places where the film’s happiest, music-related moments occur. The white light from a window in a Harlem church blissfully silhouettes the scene where Hope, a sassy young girl, lends her angelic voice to Rush’s musical compositions.

The 12 students who attended—chosen by audition from a pool of 30 candidates—sat listening to their peers’ performances while casually taking...
...splicing between multiple plot lines. The narration is delivered by Justin Timberlake, who plays Pilot Abilene, an ex-soldier previously stationed in Iraq. Timberlake does a surprisingly good job of portraying a doped-up prophet. In one scene, he dances about an arcade with a troupe of leggy, chesty girls, and is clearly in his element in the music video-like setting. Likewise, Mandy Moore is apt at playing the marginal role of the rich girl who is spoiled by her politician father, while Seann William Scott slips seamlessly into the role of the confused pawn. The special effects don?...
