...polar icecaps and flooded many coastal cities, submerging them in water. Human beings have come to not only depend upon computers for survival, but also come to befriend machines with artificial intelligence for friendship. Directed and written by Steven Spielberg, A.I. specifically tells the story of one boy robot (Haley Joel Osment) and his quest to becoming what movie teasers have described as "something more." Many people look forward to A.I.'s June 29th summer release either because it is Steven Spielberg's next movie or because it would have been Stanley Kubric's last. Spielberg's screenplay was based...
That The Pitchfork Disney, which played last weekend in the Loeb Experimental Theater, presents two exceptions to the rule is thus an understandably unnerving prospect. The play takes as its protagonists Presley and Haley Stray (Matthew D. Johnson ’02 and Catherine B. Gowl ’02), two 28-year-old siblings stuck in a permanent childhood. Gowl’s Haley is the first to grab the audience’s attention, shifting back and forth between petty child and fussy matron in a fine schizophrenic act.

...origin of the Stray children’s predicament is never overtly articulated. All that we know is that their parents are long dead or disappeared, and that Presley and Haley have since languished in their house as intellectual and emotional preteens.

The play, by British scribe Philip Ridley, is more interested in exploring the ins and outs of the characters’ skewed psyches, notably as depicted...
...movie I've walked out of since Boxing Helena), The Sixth Day is another Arnold clone (my brother carped, "I saw that last year"; "Nooo. That was End of Days," I answered). Unbreakable has its charms, but it also relies on the same pacing, colors, stars (Willis and a Haley Joel look-alike), and even kitchen (!) as The Sixth Sense. Bounce showcases a been-there-done-that Benneth love affair, Charlie's Angels is a pastiche of allusions, and floundering somewhere in this mix is a Blair Witch sequel which is only seen when other movies at the multiplex...
Better still, she has a saintly son, Trevor (Haley Joel Osment), who is eager to bring these two damaged creatures together for purposes of mutual redemption. He also has bigger plans. Responding to an assignment from Mr. Simonet, who asks his students to come up with a plan to improve the world, he invents the Pay It Forward plan. His idea is to do good deeds for three people, each of whom does the same for three more individuals and so on--until, presumably, peace is established in the Middle East. This is not dissimilar to Frank Capra's John...
