...brain is finally giving up its secrets, and the biggest secret of all is that this 3-lb. maze of nerves and tissue is also a veritable laboratory of chemicals whose workings and interactions largely determine the state of our mental health, down to the latest mood swing. Many mental illnesses once thought to be purely psychological conditions--among them schizophrenia, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and ocd--turn out to be caused by specific chemical imbalances. Those who suffer from them are racked not by toilet-training traumas or the "unceasing terror and tension of the fetal night...
Perhaps it is only the marketing maze of summer media, but there was something less driven about her latest release, something that sounded less driven and more, well, produced. Calculated.

It all works very smartly. The Simpson-Bruckheimer production duo run clever variations on their macho obsessions (missiles, car chases, gay-baiting, the Crimson Tide mutiny plot). This ain1t art, exactly. But if you1re at the plex and need to choose between The Rock and a Cruise place...
