...your point of view, Al-Jazeera is either a shining example of independent Arab media or an infamously irresponsible, biased news outlet. Whether it’s airing exposés on government corruption in Saudi Arabia, discussing political Islam on one of its talk shows or broadcasting graphic images of American corpses being dragged through Baghdad, Al-Jazeera doesn’t shrink from controversy. Biased or not, Al-Jazeera as a media outlet is certainly “free” in the fullest sense of the word. With its unhindered reporting style, Al-Jazeera...
...rendering Sinclair's vision, Kuper uses the full power of his graphic style to remarkable effect. His airbrush effect implicitly evokes a sense of violence or sex gone wild, which perfectly matches the blood and sweat of the Chicago slaughterhouses. In the fertilizer factory, for instance, he makes it appear as if Jurgis is working in a literal shit-storm. By adding his own purely visual commentary, Kuper essentially doubles the power of the book's social message. The swirling winds turn into predatory monsters when Jurgis loses his job, for example. In spite of its bleak story, "The Jungle...

Creator of the lauded and successful graphic novel "Blankets," Thompson's introductory insistence that "Carnet" is not his "next book," tries to disarm any critics, but he needn't have worried. Seemingly unedited, "Carnet" chronicles, in the form of an engrossing diary sketchbook, Thompson's European author tour, with a side trip to Morocco, during the spring of 2004. With all of its pages drawn from life, here at last...
...when many serious directors, especially in Europe, are making films with graphic sex, Wong remains a gentleman in matters of the groin. 2046 does have one vigorous bedroom encounter, with the nude Leung and Zhang Ziyi attractively entangled. But the erotic knockout punch is a kiss?sudden, brutal, passionate and 35 seconds long?between Leung and Gong Li. They go at each other like two drowning strangers giving each other CPR. Now that's sexy...
