...creation of Fred Davis, one of McCain's top media gurus as well as a close friend of former Christian Coalition head Ralph Reed and the nephew of conservative Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe. It first caught the attention of Democrats familiar with the Left Behind series, a fictionalized account of the end-time that debuted in the 1990s and has sold nearly 70 million books worldwide. "The language in there is so similar to the language in the Left Behind books," says Tony Campolo, a leading progressive Evangelical speaker and author...
...movie camera up there on the roof forgot to turn it on. So the big climax - man on very high wire (or should we say dead man walking?) - is pretty thin stuff. This visual paucity reinforces the feeling that we're not looking at, say, Paul Valery's nephew up there on the wire. Petit is not making any kind of "statement." He's in the not entirely dishonorable tradition of the guys who have been going over Niagara Falls in barrels these many years...
...principled participant. The film's heartbeat is the gratitude, seemingly profound, that Smith and Carlos feel for the Australian. "I would die for him," Smith says in a 2004 interview. It's all very touching - and perhaps misleading. Speaking to TIME, writer-director Matt Norman, Peter's nephew, makes clear that not all his feelings about Smith and Carlos permeate his film. Salute is essentially a straightforward, if astute and moving, retelling of a well-documented event, so Norman's comments are puzzling. On several levels, he says, he is disappointed and disenchanted with the American legends...

The one in theaters today, directed by Eric Brevig and written by Michael Weiss, Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin, sticks pretty closely to the plot: Professor Trevor Anderson (Fraser) finds a runic inscription of an underground route inside a volcano and, with his nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson) and an Icelandic guide (Anna Briem), locates an underworld Eden and all manner of exotic animals. And, just as in the Verne, they end up in Sicily...
...stories are set in sub-Saharan Africa--Rwanda, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya. Akpan's method is to present scenes of extreme violence and degradation from a child's point of view. A young boy watches his sister practice prostitution; a man sells his niece and nephew into slavery; a girl looks on as her Tutsi father kills her Hutu mother with a machete. And so on. These stories are so frightening and upsetting, and offer so little in the way of closure or consolation, that you wonder what the point is of subjecting yourself to them--they exist at the border...
