...These wingy thingies are the movie's special-effects demons, and we finally catch a glimpse of one when one of Max's snitches, Owen Green (excellent sniveling by Joel Gordon), is teetering suicidally on his windowless window ledge; a nifty tracking shot out of Owen's apartment into the night reveals the 10-foot beast yanking him to his not-vivid-enough death...
...title of Thomas Friedman’s latest book, “Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution and How It Can Renew America” recycles the title of his earlier bestseller, “The World is Flat.” Unfortunately, the rest of the material also seems reused.

...Somebody needs to remind Dartmouth that there is no draft in college football and tanking every game will not result in a No. 1 pick stud prospect that will ride into Hanover on a white horse and save a pitiful program. The Big Green has lost each of its four games by at least 13 points and, even if there were such a thing, a 34-7 loss last week to Yale would not count as a moral victory. At least Columbia looks like it’s trying...
