...sold into slavery by their fellow Africans, certainly a crime nearly as heinous as the actual practice of slavery. Spielberg does show us this, but very matter-of-factly, with nowhere near the emotional charge or passion with which he depicts the whites' treatment of the slaves. For the latter, he calls forth tempestuous lightning storms for back-drop, while he shows us shot after shot of pained, anguished, screaming faces in fast montage, while the former is simply and briefly shown with ordinary straight-on camera work. While he graphically lays bare the folly, political entanglements and carnage...

...terrified of her own encroaching old age, Katisha first appears in a cloud of smoke and an attitude that brings to mind Cruella de Ville.

FALSE. Titanic logged 6,029 stunt-man days, probably a movie-industry record (True Lies had 2,202). In all that time there were three injuries requiring hospital treatment: one broken ankle, one cracked rib, one cracked cheekbone--and in the latter two, the stunt players were back at work the next...

WASHINGTON: And so Mars continues to confound. For every theory that says our sister planet is and always was a barren, lifeless rock, there's one that suggests it once teemed with life ? and sure enough, we're more likely to listen to the latter. That was evident when a report in the journal Science pooh-poohing NASA?s claims over the supposedly fossilized Martian meteor was elbowed aside in the media by Friday's edition of Nature. The latter, gathering evidence from the Pathfinder mission, said Mars was once warm, moist ? and more likely to have harbored some form...
